So today is Sunday of our three day weekend! I'm so happy that we have tomorrow off, because I got to put off my homework yesterday and today. Plus we had the Hilltop hangout thing today, which is really what I want to talk about, hahaha.
So I got there 4th after Ginny and Will and Jason. We just sat around and talked for a while and played Go Fish, haha. Then Sam, Latifis, and Gina came and we played kemps. I was Jason's partner! :) We did pretty good and it like.. opened up the door for communication. After Andy and Carrie came we played toilet tag and football. I was on a team with Gina, Brandon, and Jason :) and our team name was White Power. We ended up ending at a tie because we were tired and it was really hot. After that, a bunch of people just did random stuff like playing with the football and lacrosse sticks, and I sat with Jason and he played guitar and we talked. I videotaped him playing, haha. And then it was so cute, he started playing Hey There Delilah because that was like the only thing I knew. At some point here, Bella came. We played ultimate frisbee for a while (same teams) until the other team pretty much gave up and like started cheating. Andy and Bella left to walk down to MC because Andy left something in his locker, and they ended up being gone for like the whole time. We basically just hung out until Jason and Ginny had to leave, and Andy and Bella got back. Then it was over. The end. Haha :)
It's crazy. I totally like Jason. He's super cool! I like that he's quiet, and that he's cute and plays guitar. He's nice and polite and smart, too. :)

Kiss My Sass
So it's the middle of the week! We've been in school for a week and a day. I have a ton of homework, too. Pretty much something from every class except P.E. and I finish a lot in math, so not that so much. I'm trying to stay ahead of everything too, so nothing overwhelms me like I fear it will. That means I do the assignment the day it's assigned, not the day before it's due (unless, like the the APEC outlines, it can't be completed in just one day). Speaking of APEC, the reason I'm blogging right now is because I don't want to study APEC vocab, haha. I'm actually really far ahead on the chapter 12 outline, like, I'll finish tomorrow. Dude, I know people that haven't even started.
The main thing with school, though, is as I predicted. Guys. I'm pretty sure I like Jason--the reason I say 'pretty sure' is because I don't know if he's even attainable (he's so damn quiet!). Although, today he said hi to me :) I know how completely and utterly lame that sounds, but it IS something because I usually have to say hi to him. I wasn't even looking at him and he said hi to me! So there. I told Andy that I liked Jason and he was like "Aww that's sweet." Which is, you know, better than "Oh he likes someone else." And coming from his best friend, I guess that's a compliment. Maybe it's saying that there's some potential there. Reading too much into it? Probably.
Anyways, it's kind of weird with Connor right now. I can't really like more than one guy at a time, but it's still weird seeing him in the hallways. I've heard numerous stories about what a jerk he is, but I can't help that my heart beats faster whenever I see him. I know it's still impossible for anything to happen. No classes again. What are the chances?
I guess that's all. I need to start planning my birthday party though! Mardi gras, yesss. And now I can have both Phil and Nicole there! Thank God.

Bring 'Em Out
School started today! Do you realize it's been almost a year since I started my blog? Give or take a few days, but yeah. I never thought I would keep it up so long! Sure, I've had some silent periods, but I think it's still going strong.
Well, don't you want to hear about my classes?
1st period: APEC. Today we didn't really do anything important, just the standard rules and expectations lecture. He said it would probably be the easiest day until the AP test. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little scared. He's making it as close to a college class as he can, so obviously it's going to be a bit difficult. He's a cool teacher though, and I know he'll help us, so that's good. Did I mention this is the class I share with Jason? :) Well, I didn't sit by him today, unfortunately. Sam, Bella, Andrea, and I got in just as the room was about full, so we grabbed the four seats that were basically next to each other. He came in pretty much last and took one of the only empty seats (and there were no empty seats near us). I think I'll talk more about Jason at the end of the post, but yeah. APEC. Good stuff.
2nd period: Spanish 5. I have it with both Latifis (UGH) and Laura (yay!}. Today I sat in the back corner next to Max with Laura behind me and Brandon behind Max. Cooper's voice drones, and that is not helpful to keeping me in the present and out of daydreams. I participated a lot though because I heard she plays favorites! Haha. Oh come on, it's working smarter, not harder. There MIGHT be a cute guy in that class but I couldn't get a good view of him because he sat in the row on the opposite side of the room and I couldn't see behind the person in front of him.
*Break*: The band group kind of hangs with us now ^_^ That being Andy, Gina, Carrie, Kyla, and of course Jason!
3rd period: Honors Humanities. Mrs. Blalock isn't really that young, but she acts really young. She talks like a valley girl and chews gum as she talks. She'll probably be easy--for which I am thankful--and she seems passionate about cultures and values, which is cool to see in your teacher. I like the people in that class, especially because I finally have a class with Nicole! Chad and Tracey are cool too, haha.
4th period: Beginners Racquetball. I like everything about that class, the people (except Latifis), the teacher (GREEN WOOT), and the sport. Today was boring cause we just sat in the gym the whole period, but I'm thinking it'll get better. Carlos Rivera is in that class, who I think is passably cute.
*Lunch*: People were objecting to our spot, but I don't know why. If they can find a better spot, then they should try. I think it's fine so if they're complaining then they have to be the ones to fix it. The only thing that could change is how cramped we are. If we were roomier, perhaps Jason's group would sit with us ;)
5th period: Honors Pre-Calculus. Apparently both the precalc teachers are cool, and I got Lafferty. He really is cool--funny, curses in front of us, let's us eat food, that kind of thing. Of course being the football and baseball coach is cool too. I just get the vibe that he's so cool that he would be the teacher to sleep with his students. I know it's a wierd thing to think! I have no evidence whatsoever, but he just.. fits the personality. I don't know! Hahaha. Anyways, Dave's in that class which is cool because I haven't had a class with him since 8th grade and we are pretty good buddies.
6th period: Chemistry. Mrs. Hepler is nice enough, but a little on the boring side. I can tell she really loves chemistry though, and I would believe that she could be a genius (she seems really really smart but a little wierd). She paired us into partners via seating chart, and I got paired with a smart junior who took physics last year. Woot! He's so not cute though. There actually is a potentially cute guy in there, but his personality could make or break him. I guess I need to get to know him more! ;)
So that's my first day as a sophomore. Exciting, eh? I actually have better teachers than I did last year, with the exception of Mrs. Cooper. What I'm most excited about is seeing Jason almost every day, hehe.
It's the beginning of a crush... you know how it feels. There's excitement and constantly thinking about how you look and the potential and everything. The 'did he just look at me? Is it special that he smiled at me?' That kind of thing. Grr, I want to sit next to him in APEC tomorrow, so hopefully Raskin doesn't assign seats yet. Sighh. He's so cute! I love his hair and his shyness and guitar-playingness. :)

The Beach
Yes, The Beach is a song! And the reason it's my title is because I spent pretty much this whole weekend at the beach.
Firstly there was Andrea's party at Torrey Pines on yesterday. It was alright, but I kind of felt like Ginny and Sam and Bella were being like "exclusive" because they wouldn't talk to Vi or anything. They all went into the water while Kathryn, Laura, Vi, Andrea and I took a bunch of pictures of each other and stuff. Seeing what we were doing, Ginny and Bella came up and like took over the camera. Whateverrrr. It was okay... I don't know. Not too memorable.
Today's party at La Jolla was totally more fun. First me, Sam, Will, and Kathryn got there and met up with Ginny and Carrie. We went in the water to chill for a while and then Steve and Chad came. When we went back to the sand we played this game called Boom Chicka Boom Boom (or something of the sort) and Andy and Kyla and Jason showed up. Then we played husbands and wives for a while. That was cool when I was Jason's wife and he caught me the first time I got up, haha. If you didn't understand that, well, go figure it out. Then we went in the water for a while again and after a while Jason and Andy got out, then me and Laura. When the other people got out Andy wanted to go to this candy store so me, Andy, Jason, Laura, Carrie, Ginny, and Kyla left to walk there. It was cool just talking to them and you know, especially Jason. He brought his guitar and played a bunch and when we went for ice cream we put a cup out and he tried to get tips (didn't happen, haha). Anyways, once we got back, a bunch of people went out in the water but I really didn't feel like it so I chilled with Kyla and Jason (who at this point, was only playing his guitar). I asked Kyla if he was always so.. "like that" and she said he wasn't so I don't really know what was up. Maybe just uncomfortable around all the people he didn't know? Anyways, Gina Calo showed up and me and Jason and Andy and her played a little volleyball for a while, and it was cool to hang with like normal Jason. Hmm.. there was more stuff, but I don't remember. The end was the best because we were playing like monkey in the middle in a circle with a football and there were 3 monkeys and the sun was setting and there was this party next to us playing music and stuff and it was just a really great way to see summer out. I totally want to party more like that next summer, by the way.
Oh, also at the end, I found out Jason has APEC with me! :) I don't know about his other classes, I just know he's not in my Humanities. The only thing that worries me is that he's in APEC with me AND Andrea and.. I'm no competition for Andrea.... But maybe it's better that I'm in the same class as them so I can see how they interact and stuff? Rather than have them both have the same science or something so I don't know how they act around each other?
School in less than 2 days!

Burnin' Up *barf*
So guess what guys? I decided to write a letter to the Jonas Brothers! Woohoo! Yeah, not like that. Mostly about how they don't strike me as a real band and more of a money maker for Disney. Enjoy, and tell me if I should change any of it before I send:
Hi guys, my name's Olivia. I can't say I'm a big fan of yours. Just hear me out-- this isn't hate mail.
I just don't like how you guys have turned into such a product of Disney. If you totally know already and don't care and you're just in it for the fame--which I don't like to believe--then I guess you can go on doing what you're doing. You have so many fans that love you and are hopelessly devoted that my opinion won't change you at all, unless you really agree with what I'm saying.
I think you guys want to be a serious band but I think it's impossible to take you seriously with the situation you're in. I've never really listened to your music (unless you count the overplayed things on Disney--a channel I tend to avoid) but a friend of mine has liked you from when you started, before you were the love of every girl under 14 years old. She is disappointed in your new album. I know all musicians change a lot by their third album, but, to quote her, you've "sold out" on this one. She says the old Jonas Brothers wouldn't write a song so generic and lyrically retarded as Burnin' Up. Hey, I'm not here to disrespect you and your music but I think it's safe to say that there is little to respect about Burnin' Up.
You are such a product for Disney; it drives me crazy. I know I can't blame you guys and I don't WANT to blame you guys, but just looking at a lot of your fans, you can tell. There are some, like my friend, who do like you for your music. It seems the majority, however, are teenyboppers who only care about the three hot guys standing on the stage.
The real proof that you guys are a product: you don't play all your music. Well, technically, the "Jonas Brothers" don't play all the music. The drum, bassline, backup guitar, and keyboards come from four guys standing in the back of your stage in the dark. Maybe one out of 25 of your "fans" knows who they are. I know you credit them like crazy in concerts and everything, and I know you are very much aware of them. Like I said, I'm not blaming you guys. But if you truly wanted people to know the other musicians, you could make them know. But Disney? They only care about the three guys that are going to make money.

Such As It Ends
School starts in a week! :) I got my schedule today at registration and I guess I'll post it here (along with the friends that are in that class):
1: APEC- Raskin (Sam+ Andrea; worst class but best people!)
2: Spanish 5- Cooper (Max+ Brandon (shoot me) and Laura)
3: Honors Humanities- Blalock (I forget, Maybe Sam, Max, Brandon? and Tracey for sure)
4: Racquetball- Green (Sam, Latifis, Nisha; should be fun)
5: Hon Pre-Calc- Lafferty (WHAT IS WITH HAVING NO FRIENDS IN THE ONE CLASS I NEED HELP IN?)
6: Chemistry- Hepler (Max. I swear I'm going to have to shoot myself)
So there you have it. I'm happy with most of my teachers except for Cooper for Spanish. I've heard she's hard... but I don't know if I should trust my sources because I'm a little above average in Spanish, you know? Kathryn, Bella, Will, and Chad all have screwed up schedules so I don't know for sure on them. Nicole and Phil have to go to late registration, Nicole because her parents are gone, Phil because he went to registration too late (>.<). Wow, I haven't actually thought about Connor being in any of my classes. Until now, that is. Crap.
I'm excited for my fiestas in this last week of summer though. Ginny's having a sleepover tomorrow night with me, her, Bella, Laura, and Kathryn. Sam is gonna come at like 7 and probably leave around 10. Will might come too but we don't really know. I'm excited because it actually might be the first sleepover I've had with any of those girls (except for Laura... does it count as Kathryn too if I slept over at their house?). We never really hang out just all girls so I got a bunch of magazines and we're gonna watch chick flicks. It should be fun.
Saturday is Andrea's birthday party at Torrey Pines, of course following the trend of beach bonfire parties (first Ginny, then Bella, now Andrea). It'll be fun for sure. I don't really want to get her a present but I GUESS I have to, haha. And that's all I have to say about that.
Sunday is the party I'm most excited about, another beach party. It's just an end of summer party and a lot of my friends are going to be there along with Gina and Carrie's friends, Kyla, Jason, and Andy. You know I'm excited to see Jason and Andy, but for different reasons. It'll be nice to see Jason again because I thought he would have moved by now, but who knows, maybe I'll still have a thing for him? And I'm excited to see Andy because he's super awesome, duh.
AND THEN THERE'S SCHOOL! It'll be awesome like, the night before, and then I'll have to get up in the morning at 6 AM and then I'll just be like fuck this. Especially having APEC 1st period where I'll probably have to take a test of some sort or something. Jeez. I like the prospect of challenge though. I'll probably pretend APEC doesn't bother me at all so I seem really smart or something, haha. Either that or I'll totally annoy everyone by complaining about it all the time. It's a 50/50 chance, really. I didn't have much trouble with the summer assignment though so... who knows.
You know what's going to be fun? The first break, because everybody will see all the people they missed over summer and everyone will be chatting about how their classes are so far, etc. Probably the same with lunch, too.
You know what sucks? I only have one easy class this year: racquetball. It's kind of funny seeing that on my schedule.. I guess it's kind of ironic sandwiched between honors classes. Well racquetball's a kickass sport, and you know it ;) I hope I can be Sam's partner though, and I probably will be, unless for some reason he wants to be with a Latifi but that won't happen, haha. Ginny gave me this awesome idea for me and Sam to just imitate Brandon's annoying voice all the time to really irritate him. Mwahahaha :)
I'm hoping that maybe since Lafferty's the freshman baseball coach then he'll like me because I play softball... I know, it's a long shot. It's all I got. I'm also hoping that maybe Chemistry isn't as totally hard as everyone says because it's required that you at least are taking Algebra 3-4 THIS year, but I took it last year. I really really don't want to sound snobby but I can't really measure the difficulty by the general opinion because those people probably aren't as.. smart.. as me. I feel jerky for saying it, but yeah. That's what I think.
ANYways, I hope you had fun reading all that! I'm super excited for school!
1: APEC- Raskin (Sam+ Andrea; worst class but best people!)
2: Spanish 5- Cooper (Max+ Brandon (shoot me) and Laura)
3: Honors Humanities- Blalock (I forget, Maybe Sam, Max, Brandon? and Tracey for sure)

It'll be nice to see Jason again because I thought he would have moved by now, but who knows, maybe I'll still have a thing for him? And I'm excited to see Andy because he's super awesome, duh.
AND THEN THERE'S SCHOOL! It'll be awesome like, the night before, and then I'll have to get up in the morning at 6 AM and then I'll just be like fuck this. Especially having APEC 1st period where I'll probably have to take a test of some sort or something. Jeez. I like the prospect of challenge though. I'll probably pretend APEC doesn't bother me at all so I seem really smart or something, haha. Either that or I'll totally annoy everyone by complaining about it all the time. It's a 50/50 chance, really. I didn't have much trouble with the summer assignment though so... who knows.
You know what's going to be fun? The first break, because everybody will see all the people they missed over summer and everyone will be chatting about how their classes are so far, etc. Probably the same with lunch, too.
You know what sucks? I only have one easy class this year: racquetball. It's kind of funny seeing that on my schedule.. I guess it's kind of ironic sandwiched between honors classes. Well racquetball's a kickass sport, and you know it ;) I hope I can be Sam's partner though, and I probably will be, unless for some reason he wants to be with a Latifi but that won't happen, haha. Ginny gave me this awesome idea for me and Sam to just imitate Brandon's annoying voice all the time to really irritate him. Mwahahaha :)
I'm hoping that maybe since Lafferty's the freshman baseball coach then he'll like me because I play softball... I know, it's a long shot. It's all I got. I'm also hoping that maybe Chemistry isn't as totally hard as everyone says because it's required that you at least are taking Algebra 3-4 THIS year, but I took it last year. I really really don't want to sound snobby but I can't really measure the difficulty by the general opinion because those people probably aren't as.. smart.. as me. I feel jerky for saying it, but yeah. That's what I think.
ANYways, I hope you had fun reading all that! I'm super excited for school!

Whisper War
I FINALLY got money for itunes! I bought The Cab's album, Whisper War, and Ludo's album, You're Awful, I Love You. I am quite happy with both of my purchases ^.^ Whisper War is totally unique and upbeat and, okay, I kind of think it's a little unfair that a just starting out band gets such good production (it's like they were MADE rich, and didn't earn it, but whatever). Anyways, it's my favorite album in a while, especially the songs It's One of THOSE Nights and That '70s Song because they are unique and make me bop along and get all happy :) I really like Ludo's album because they are super different and the lyrics definitely tell a story and are pretty random but at the same time they sound good. I knew Love Me Dead from a while ago, but since buying the CD I like Lake Pontchartrain and Go-Getter Greg because they are totally not what songs are normally about. Lake Pontchartrain is like a horror story and it starts out:
I'll tell it like it happened, it was Darius and Noland and me
Just a few po' boys trying to get up outta Missouri
Took 55 to Louisiana, stopped by the highway to eat
They both had crawfish, strictly chicken for me
Back out under thunderheads, the radio was Southern soul
They interrupted Clarence Carter with a strange-ass local show,
They were sayin',
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Rest your soul and feed your brain
That's where you will get to see
Everything the water can be.
It's so funny to try and sing along with haha. Go-Getter Greg is told first person about hitting on the new neighbor girl moving in, and the lyrics are so disjointed that you would never think they could be a song, but he sings them anyways:
Hi
You must be new I guess
At least you're new to me
Saw you unpacking your car
So I said to myself
Maybe I should help her out
Since we're neighbors now
And all the other people here are elderly
And probably a little standoffish
And I've got nothing to do (and whatnot)
By the way I live in 207
My name is Greg
Wherever are my manners
Let me get that heavy box
It's funny because if you try and sing that right now, you would fail epically.
So I'm over Jordan. Haha, I was a little dramatic to get over him that fast, huh? It's just that I'm trying to put all this effort into talking to him and whatever but he honestly doesn't really even talk to me. Oh well. I actually DON'T LIKE anybody right now. It's a rather novel feeling.

Do You Know What I'm Seeing?
I am in summer crush mode right now, baby. I don't care if I have only a couple weeks of summer left. Shush.
So anywayysss... it's my neighbor's cousin ;) He's from Dubai and he has an accent and I didn't know what accents in Dubai were like but it's like Australian. Which is damn sexy. He has shaggy curly blondish hair (pretty surfer looking) and he's 14. So today I had a moment. I fell into the summer crush. Hard. Would you like the details?
So a bunch of his brothers and my brother and the neighbors were playing kick the can and we both were sitting out--me because I think kick the can sucks, but I don't know about him--and I asked him to show me some magic tricks with his cards. So he was laying there (the sexy lay, with one arm propping him up) and told me to pick cards and whatever. So as he was telling me what to do I realized what a gorgeous beautiful asjkfdla;jf voice he has. And then we got to this one trick where I picked a card, memorized it, and put it back in the deck, and then he put it back in the middle. He took the middle section out and started to go through the cards and put them down face up, after telling me to think 'Stop' when he got to my card. He put it down and I thought 'Stop' and he looked up at me with his gorgeous eyes and said, "You didn't have to say it so loud" and then he grinned at me. Yes, that was my moment. I know it's stupid but now I'm getting one of my crazy Olivia crushes. Oh well :)
