Hey, how do you become a trusted contributor?

Mom took me, Andrea, and Andi's mom, Laurel, to the Children's Museum in Indy today. We were the oldest kids there. :P We're 13, but we're far from adulthood. My face is starting to heal. Thank those of you who sent me their sympthay! MarioKorn, you can go jump off a cliff! :p That's right, I read your comment! Anyway, they got this new exhibit about three of the world's young heroes, Anne Frank, Ruby Bridges, and Ryan White. The Anne Frank and Ryan White exhibit almost made me cry. :( Out of those three, only Ruby is still alive. Since Ryan was born and raised right here in Indy, his mom donated his bedroom to the Museum. It was interesting. Eventually, me and Andi wound up in the construction area. Our moms hung out for a while, while we played. The rocks in the dumping area are foam, and we discovered that they bounced. So we found a place in the back, and began chucking rocks at the wall and watching them bounce. We did that for at least an hour. Then we went to the dinosaur place. by this time, there was hardly anyone there. So we put on the little kids' costumes and picked up the plushie eggs and threw those at each other too. And then some little kids watched us kick each other. And then we put on a puppet show, and a bunch of parents thought we were workers at the Museum, and made their little kids watch our show. If they would have heard us, they would've figured out that we weren't with the Museum. Our play was about cannibalism and eating their young. :P Overall, it was a fun day. Oh, and Bill Clinton is coming to a town a few miles away from mine, but we're not gonna go listen to him because 1. it's crowded, and 2. we don't support Bill Clinton.

Yes, you read it right. I got smacked in the face with a golf club. So Mr. B takes our after school group to go putput golfing, right? I was the third wheel on Savannah A. and Alec's "date" for a long time, but they don't mind. :P Well, we finished early, so me, Alec, Savannah A., Zac the Queer (no one wanted him around, Julia invited him to join us T_T), Julia, and Alexa (who I am no longer mad at) were sitting around, and then I noticed that Savannah B. was still playing, but she was alone. I decided to go keep her company, so I walked over and started talking to her. I remember the last thought that went through my head was, "I wonder if I'm too close..." and then WHAM! She swings and hits me smack on the nose. She felt the impact, and turned around and started appologizing her mouth off. I'm standing there like a moron, holding my nose, and still trying to grasp what just happened. By this point, my eyes are teary, and I can't make them stop. But I managed to keep from blubbering like a walrus. But I did get hiccupy. So Mr. B, who was very worried because I am one of his favorites :D, checks to make sure it's not broken, and then gets me some ice. But the best part was, I am the girl that no one ever notices, and I had people I didn't even know come to ask me if I was OK! By this point, I played it cool and acted like it was no big deal. :P But it still kinda hurts a little. :( And BRYSON! I SAW WHAT YOU WROTE IN THE LAST COMMENT BOX! THE DAY I GIVE UP ON TYLER IS THE DAY I GIVE UP ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I almost made it through today, but in 7th period, just before the last bell rang, Cody gave me a bit of info that was like a steak knife to my heart. OK, so I blogged a few days ago about how I asked Tyler out, and all I got was "What"? So Cody says to me today, "You know, Tyler told me in the locker room he did actually hear you, he just acted like he didn't because he didn't want to hurt your feelings and say no." And I know it's true, because Cody always gets this big, bold, teasing smile when he lies. There was no smile this time.

Tyler wasn't at school today, and he was fine yesterday. Was it because of me? Well, at least Lucas didn't talk to me at all, and Cody's insults were very minor. But I'm still sad. :(

OK, so today I FINALLY worked up the courage to ask Tyler out. As soon as Math was over, I went up to him and said (I'm not quite sure, I was really nervous) something along the lines of

"Will you go out with me?!?"

And just as the time when I asked him to the dance, it was loud and fangirly. There was what seemed like an eternity of awkward silence, and then he stared at me and said,

"What?"

And I said,

"Nothing! Never mind!"

And I went to Science. But the worst of all was yet to come. Cody C., who I thought was my friend, started making fun of me and teasing me all day long. I could've dealt with the "rejection" alone, but he kept making it worse. All afternoon I had to listen to him follow me aorund and tell random people in the halls that Tyler rejected me, and all he said to me was,

"Hey Nikole! Tyler says to tell you that you're hideous."
"Hey Nikole! Tyler says to tell you that he thinks you're a slut."
"Hey Nikole! Tyler says to tell you that he would rather burn in Hell than go out with you."

And it hurts a lot, because I've always been self concious about how I look. I've only had a total of 3 people in my entire life tell me that I was pretty. And that's just the half of it. Cody's verbal abuse stings, a lot. Added to the verbal abuse I get from Lucas each and every day, which Brooke finally noticed and "took care of", it's enough to bring me to tears...

We had this assignment in P.E. to make up a dance, and then we had to write a paper about the history of our dance. Our teacher (technically, she's a student teacher) is really mean and hates my guts (she called me lazy) so I thought I'd brighten her day with this story. I call it, "Evil Mozart and the Chipmunks of Llamastan". It's 100% mine, and you better not copy it without asking and me agreeing to let you use it or else!!!

There is quite a history behind the popular dance, The Chipmunk Slide. Over the hundreds of years since it was created, it has grown very well liked amongst the countries of the world. Scholars have pondered over the dance's exact origins for years, but only I know the truth.

Long ago, in the year 1785 in the city of Vienna, Mozart was at the top of his game and a world-renowned musician. But little did the world know that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had an evil twin brother, who was simply referred to as Evil Mozart. The rest of the family was aware of his existence, but they didn't like to talk about him due to an incident involving a piano, seven water balloons, and a deranged squirrel that occurred when the Mozart twins were young.

Anyway, by 1785, Evil Mozart had grown into an old, lonely man who was often quite bored. He had been locked in an old tower by his twin, and could only look out at the people below and sigh. Evil Mozart wasn't all that evil, he was just misunderstood. So one night, the poor fellow decided to escape. He cut his hair, which had grown very long by this point, and used it to climb out the window and down to the ground below. For many days and nights, he walked and walked until he reached Spain, and from there he paid an old fisherman to take him far, far away from Europe. Unfortunately, a deadly storm soon began to blow, and the tiny boat was smashed to pieces. No one ever heard from the fisherman again, but Evil Mozart was fortunate to make it to land. After hours of
lying on the beach, Evil Mozart opened his eyes and looked around to see that he was surrounded by a million chipmunks.
"Welcome to Llamastan, the fuzziest place on Earth!" the biggest chipmunk said.
"What?" Evil Mozart asked. He was very puzzled.
"That's our slogan, but that doesn't really matter. But what matters now is, do you know how to dance?" Evil Mozart shook his head. The head chipmunk clapped his paws.
"Everyone in Llamastan knows how to dance! Come, we will teach you!" Then the chipmunks began doing some sort of weird dance, which we know today as the Macarena.
"Um, that looks kind of hard," Evil Mozart said as he scratched his head. "Let me try!" He tried, and what he did looked nothing like the Macarena. But it was so different, that the chipmunks decided that it was even more fun than their dance! All afternoon long, Evil Mozart and his new friends danced The Chipmunk Slide. The chipmunks of Llamastan began to teach it to all their other animal friends, and soon, the whole world knew it! It's just a little grapevine, criss cross your feet, roll your hands, slide to the left, then to the right, stomp your feet and toss your head. It's so easy, a caveman could do it! And that, my friends, is how The Chipmunk Slide came to be.

In the words of the nerds at the end of Forehead Shavecut, "I'm very sad!" Yes, it is toaster related... Oh, I forgot. I didn't teach you guys the secret language of the Toaster. OK, me and one group of my friends invented a language that we call "Toaster". We speak Toaster. In the Toaster language, "toaster" is the word for someone you like or have a crush on. There are 3 other words in the Toaster language, but I'll get into that another day. OK, back to being very sad. Oh, and Bry, I'm going to ask you not to bash anyone's skull in. Anyway, without further distraction, I am very sad because I lost a bet with Savannah B. yesterday, and I had to ask out my toaster, who happens to be Tyler. But that's not really why I am sad. I was fully prepared to ask him out today, but made the mistake of asking one of his pals, who happens to be a pal of mine and former toaster, Cody, if Tyler was allowed to date people. I wanted to make sure he could, because how embarrassing would it be to go up to someone and say, "Hey, I love you, will you go out with me?" and have them say, "Sorry, I'm not allowed." Well, I'd forgotten how much of a douche Cody was. :roll: So he makes this big deal about it, (this was in 1st period SS BTW) and pretends to shout across the room at Tyler that I love him. Well, Tyler didn't hear, but everyone around us did, and I got picked on by Cameron as well! Taryn supports me though, which I was surprised at because we were rivals when we were small. Anywayz, Cookie and B. were hasseling me all day, and I swear to God I was gonna ask him out before Math, but that ass Cody was talking to him, and he made sure I could hear him. This is what he said, "Hey, Tyler, did you know that Nikole likes you? She told me in 1st period..." So now I'm super pissed at Cody, and I'm talking to him. And then I was gonna ask him after Math, but we had a locker clean out, and then I couldn't find him. So then I had to wait until English, and we always sit together in English. Me and Tyler are friends, after all. Well, just as I was about to ask him out, stupid Cody says, "Hey, Tyler! I know who likes you!" so Tyler slugs him in the arm and says, "SHUT UP!!!" And later, Cody says to him, "Oh, Nikole is gonna ask you out sometime today..." To which Tyler says nothing, so that pretty much killed my confidence that I had spent all week working up, so now I don't want to ask him out. And then I started thinking, and I've come to realize that Tyler has never made any romantic advances towards me, and has completely ignored mine, and if he really wanted me for his girlfriend, he would have had some kind of positive reaction to Cody's blabbermouth. So now I'm content (sort of) with just being his friend. I'm not about to expierence a repeat of the Lucas incident, who the only words I say to now are, "Shut up, I wasn't talking to you" and "Don't care".

top The Death Toll has rang for one more. My mom teaches a third grade c/l/a/s/s and last night, the mother of one of them was shot and killed by her step son while the poor little boy was in the house. It's awful.

Hello! I am speaking of my kitties, who I love very much, and I call them "my fat and lazies". There are 4. There is a 5th one, but I don't really consider Candy one of my fat and lazies because she isn't really fat and she hunts a lot. Anyway, in my fat and lazies, there is Keely, who is the momma, and her three kittens (there was another one, but she ran away), Kyo, Dobby, and Mr. Feeny. We thought they were all boys, until Kyo just recently had a litter... >_> I named him after Kyo Sohma on Fruits Basket, who turns into a kitty cat. Except Kyo on there is a boy. But we're keeping the name because I don't feel like changing her name. But anyway, all these cats do is eat and sleep, so everytime I visit them out in the garage, they run to their food bowl, when they've just had lunch. So I give them a little snack, and they fight each other for the food. And then I pick them up, and they just lay in my arms. They are so fat and lazy, but I love them!!! :D
