I've created this blog "Today Was The First" to remind myself and others that not every day is the same old drag, and to never get bored with life. Something new, exciting, and different happens every single day; you just have to dig a little to find it.
"We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heartthrobs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best." -David Bailey

Thursday, February 26, 2009

Today has been THE best day in the history of all Thursdays.

To start off the morning, there was a school-wide sendoff for the Wresting and Ac Dec team and it was REALLY nice weather.
I loved my To Kill A Mockingbird discussion in English :)
In Algebra, our class INCLUDING MR. FITZ talked and laughed about our favorite parts in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for like half an hour. Fitz got REALLY into it, it was so fun!
In Creative Writing, we were given a sparkly heeled shoe and a man's brown shoe, and write about a person that would wear it. Lauren wrote about a fat whore, and DJ wrote about a pathetic plumber. It was hilarious! I wrote about an ideal husband. For some reason he was a librarian. But he was a hopeless romantic that tried really hard to fall in love, but lacked emotion. Like if someone kicked him on the street, he would probably just walk off. He wouldn't punch the person back, but he wouldn't say sorry, either.
Lunch was really yummy :) It was really chill in the car. I even enjoyed the Jonas Brothers.
The guy at Starbucks
The lab I did in Physics had a 1.9% error!! Grizzle was like, "Superb job, ladiezz."
Band was, of course, the same as always.
Yearbook was super fun, I blitzed for the last 20 minutes or so with Nicole.
NO QUAD C!
Afterschool, Misha and I hung out until about 8pm or so, then my mommy and I went to get ice cream :)

AND TONIGHT IS ABDC and who is guesting? JABBAWOCKEEZ! SUPER CREW! and KABA MODERN!!

AUGH THIS DAY COULD NOT GET ANY BETTER!!!!


For a buzz kill... our nation's deficit is estimated at $1.75 trillion for 2009.
Come on Obama, I believe that you can be the change we need!!!
