~= NEW START =~

So for me, my first semester is over and a new one is about to begin...sigh...its about time it was getting kinda hard.
I did my last exam and my brain still thinks that it has to think about math,science,and s.s....so its kinda weird. Ill be like ok, i want to go on the comuter and my brain will automaticly think HOMEWORK and im still thinking like that. But its kinda nice to just stay at home and be lazy for a day.
And ya. I dont really have anything to say haha just like my last post accept for yay for a new semester!!

Shifting of Focus?

so where do you think this title came from (hint: its from someones blog) aaand go!! whoever finds it first wins the prize! anyways i have been told to update sevral million times so i have finally found the time to do so...i recently found out that one of my friends has a website called europea and thats about the only discovery i have made this week...other than i finally got a proper windows messenger and that i can still skate. (i havnt skated since 7th grade....) but it was fun all the same, and i didnt fall down this time...once! i no!! Shannon not one face plant? thats horribly amazing. It was really cold though and i didnt bring any gloves..smart eh?
I also have alot of studying to do and apparently i have a s.s. unit test as well...how was i supposed to know..sigh...o well the semester is practiclly over and then its so easy. ya for one core subject hahaa! and no more math till next year!
but ya i have nothing really to say, and its almost impossible to update when there is nothing really happening so i will leave you with that and its off to work for me!

hullo?

hey..so im really bored and i am at school in last block helpin a friend somewhat with power point but not really, Theres this kid in our class who is replacing our er "regular" teacher until the end of class so i went up to mr miller and was like uh can i go...to the library? and he was like donno dont ask me so i was like but your the teacher! and he said he wasnt. sigh. so i went and asked that kid and he was like ya psh you can leave so we did, and now im bored so ya. Thats how i got here and i should go now and be more social soooo i will leave now hehe

so i have decided to return and post a well,just something.
This new years seemed to be one of the best i have ever had. Maybe it was the excitement, or the thought of actually counting down the last moments of 2006, or maybe even the fact of spending it with some of the best friends i have ever had. Those others at the guys sleep over we totally owned you in the best party ever! did you actually catch the end of new year this time? remember the time when w started the year off 5 mins late because of the clock that was mmm five minuites off? oh man haha
So we have another week to waste and what to do?
I got this book for crismas from my moms friend and it has some great stuff in it. My moms friend is a little weird to be honest, but then again, we are all a little weird. Anyways she loves to argue with me...alot so i dunno why she got this book for be. It kinda suprised me, but that is beside the point. This book has some awesome poems in it. Like this one....

SUSPICION
A teenager-
closely watched by store security
As to avoid any kind of larceny
throgh his eyes this kid is surely a theif
He surveys her every move
Waiting for the act
So that he can catch her and set her straight
Straight, unlike her tousled bright red hair
He sakes his head in dissaproval
Does she expect people not to stare?

With her graffiti coloured,
over sized jeans ; to wide
black clunky boots; to high
topping it off with nothing at all;
tight tiny shirt, much to small
thick silver chains
her jewlery no doubt
make it easy tokeep track of her whereabouts
thanks to the annoying sound they chime
they look rediculous as though enslaving her
forcing her to go out in public as she does
and yet, she seems confident
proud of her image
security guard wonders when she will grow up
he paces back and forth-impatiently
as if waiting for her to make the change
to "maturity"
before exiting the store

An adult-
walks by with grace and class
lengthly long buisness woman in designer clothing
avoiding eye contact
dodging shoppers
heading directly towards theback of the isle

The security guard finally remembers his objective
and searches for a young girl
who seems to have cleverly slipped away
he listens for rhe sounds of the chains
but everything is instantly drowned out
by the sound of the alarm system
JUSTICE
with a smirk of satisfaction, he turns to face
the scene to catch a glimpse
of the culprit

And as she lowers her blonde head
in shame
the read-headed teenager pays for her
blue nail polish

and this is usually what older people think of most teenagers.
Why are people so critical of us?

Santa vs Jesus

So christmas is rolling around yet again and this year it finally hit me...This christmas is different, there is something about it. This year its not about the recieving...its about the giving and the love and everything inbetween if you catch my drift. its just something that i cant really explain...all i can say is that its a really good feeling.
But recenly i was walking in the mall with a friend and as we walked past the santa in the mall for the second time this thought crossed my mind...how did santa come to be and did it ever have a segnificance to the actual christmas and the birth of Jesus at all?
Its kinda been sitting there in the back of my head wanting to be answered. I guess what i am trying to say is how did santa come into the picture in the first place?
So i also had a great time with some old friends...kinda last minute notice from the kid up the street but thats typical. So i went bowling and did pretty bad the first couple times...ok i will admit it i didnt even get one pin the first couple of turns sad hey? but eventually i got a bit better and got a spare and a strike but it was still really bad so if anyone wants to practice bowling with me i will definately try my best...
Also a few uf us will have to walk to ardmore this christmas...do you remember that challenge? :P
anyways i should go get the rest of some homework done so buhbye and tune in next week...maybe...

trees or branches?

So i have just come in from moving a bunch of branches....actually more like trees hah! There were soo many it was crazy, it looked like a bunch of people canme through our yard with chain saws and cut down half the branches in sight hehe.
So yah. I decided to post again and its been quite a while as you can tell, I have been told to update so i did.
But i have nothing to write about. So just a suggestion from me today. REad Werner's blog. Its good.

The a-d-d generation

So i had the sudden sense to write...but i dont know what to write.
Well i got 12 out of 12 on trig and i can listen but i was determined to figure it out. I was like ok...Shannon you have to listen to this lesson, just this one time or i am going to smack you in the face so i listened to myself for once and actually stayed a bit focused. Usually my brain is listening and is like why am i listening..why?...this is sooo boring and my eyes are like ya! this is a great opertunity to distract her from her learning environment! look something shiny! oooh music! then before you know it...homework is assigned and you dont have a clue what it is about and how to do it. Usually this refers to science and sometimes my socials but not as much as sience because i think science is boring which is probribly half my problem...bordom...my long lost enemy. Anyways back to the whole actually listening thing. I listened to the whole lesson and didnt have to go up and ask one question which is a big accomplishment for me! And after i finished i was allowed to color a coloring sheet! i love coloring...it was a monster truck that was about to run over a lizzard or geko or..something thats not why i liked it though :P
I guess i am half watching tv and it seems the only commercials they have on are christmas comercials...they all have to do with snow, or christmas songs or chrismas trees or anything like that all put together. It kinda makes me nervouse cuz i dont know when i am going to see some santa on tv.
(santa just scares me) I have always been scared of santa. Right down to the kindergarten year when our classish groupish thinger went to see some santa and apparently i screamed and refused to go anywhere near him, there is a pictuer of that too...somewhere in my house. And even later on every christmas around five or so years of age i would refuse to go to sleep untill my mom pursuaded me that santa was not going to come down the chimmny and that she would get him to leave the presents at the front door.
Im supposing that i was very relived when i found out that santa wasnt actually real... So i guess my not knowing what to talk about turned into a case of add talking because i went from homework to santa.... Eh its something i would do and so i have an excuse.
And so i suppose that i shall leave you with that, since i am out of stuff to talk about. buhbye till later!
