You Were Like a Walking Compliment

Oh what a day. There was an accident either last night or this morning, I'm not sure. There was a high school kid that ran into a telephone pole, which in result knocked another pole over. Since I arrived in school this morning, to when I left in the afternoon, we were out of power. There were no lights in classrooms, we had to go by the lights from the windows, and there were about 4 lights per hallway, all lit by our failing generator. Kids took this as leave to call their parents and leave. Phones were out without a concern, kids were texting and calling their parents, asking them to pick them up. I admit, I tried. First my mom offered to bring me lunch, as I was buying and the only food they had was crappy, cold sandwiches. Why can she bring me lunch but not pick me up? Then later my dad texted me and told me that they would pick me up....at 2:30. We are dismissed from homeroom at 2:26! By the end of the day, we had an average of about 10 kids per class, when there was supposed to be 30. It was eventful and fun though, even if we couldn't do anything in class. My french teacher kept saying, "It's not like we're being held hostage! There is no reason for kids to be leaving!" I have to say I agree with her. Some people just left. They just walked off our campus. That's when the school started freaking out, and kept constantly calling people down to the office either to tell them that their parents were here to pick them up or to verify that they were still in school!

On a different note, I haven't had a song obsession. Usually I find one good song a week that I am obsessed with, and must be playing it constantly...until I get sick of it and don't want to hear it again. Then I move to another song, and so the cycle continues. I haven't had one song in particular though, but here is one anyway. Enjoy(:



Did you ever wonder where I get the titles to my posts? Usually it relates somehow to one of the topics covered in each post, but sometimes it's just a song lyric from the song I post. For example, "you were like a walking compliment", is a lyric from Little Bribes. That song has so many interesting lyrics, but that one was my favorite.

Now a topic different then music(: Drama. I hate it. At school, it can always be found. I try to avoid drama no matter what. This year I have successfully stayed out of drama, just helping my friends cope with drama of their own. As we are getting older, I notice more and more boy drama. Not saying that we are boy-phobic, and boys are a foreign thing meant to stare at but not touch, just there is more drama about who made out with who instead of who said what and who called who a bitch. But trust me, there is still plenty of that. My goal is to stay out of it, just live life day by day, and be conscious of my choices.

That's all for now. As always, thanks for reading my blog.
