I have realized that I absolutely suck at LJ-ing. If you hadn't noticed. My last post = FIVE WEEKS AGO. Right. Yeah, I suck.
Anyway, guess who's an official high school graduate? YEAH ME. Wooo-hoo! I'm so excited.
Okay wait. I lied. I'm not really that excited. As a matter of fact, I really wasn't excited at all. I was really nervous about walking across the stage in my heels and falling on my face -- but other than that, not excited at all. I was talking to Silv and I guess I figure it was jus another stage of life. And in September, I'll go to college and everything will go back to normal, only I'll be older, and more sophisticated. And all my friends will be gone. Great. Graduating was a blast. *eyeroll*
I hope that now that the hectic life of a graduating senior is over, I will have more time to LJ. Hell, it' my HOMEPAGE. And every time I open Internet Explorer I jus go right on past it to MySpace or Yahoo! or Google or something. (Yes, I know. Lena = teh suckage.) Tonight I opened it and I was like, "Right. Time to go update that."
SO because I feel absolutely awful about not updating, here's a meme! Right? Is that what it is? That's what Silv calls them so I'm jus following her lead without really knowing what the hell I'm doing. I filled it out awhile ago when I was bored but then I never posted it. I got it from

that_september-- Silv. Here you go!
Yeah. So I spent the night with Silv and her friend, Alicia on Sunday after Silv's grad party. Let me tell you. NO SLEEEEEEP. I am still trying to recover from THAT. And I have to work. Three days in a row. I worked Monday, today, and TOMORROW I have to unload an inventory truck. Then I have to drive my grandmother and myself down to Pennsylvania for a week. *sigh* Dayum. I'm gonna die, yes.
Anyway, there's your update, sorry I suck at being your LJ friend. Feel free to delete me lol
Later! (Hopefully sooner rather than...)
Lena.

I guess you all can be the first to know that I am making a subtle transition to vegetarianism. My friends Eva, Brie, and Laney did their senior projects on "Is Vegetarianism A Better Way To Live," "Should Animal Experimentatin Be Illegal," and "Do Animals Have Rights?" respectively. Let me jus tell you now -- the most depressing boards in the entire gym.
Eva gave me a DVD from Peta2, which is an animal rights organization for those of you who don't know, and when I watched it at home I sat and cried for two hours. It's so not fair. I hated watching what the hell happens to a cow or a chicken or a pig jus so I can eat it. It's immoral and unjust and sickening. I can't eat meat anymore.
So, of course, because of my new stint of love for animals, I am on my way home tonight and end up running over the head of a deer that may or may not have already been dead because somebody else hit it. It was jus laying there, in the middle of the road, not moving. I know you aren't supposed to, but I swerved a little and only hit it with two tires, but I still was all shaken up about it. I need to get my headlights fixed, srsly, cause didn't see the damn deer until I was literally MUCH too close to avoid hitting it entirely without killing myself. *sigh*
I really don't want to think about what happened to the deer's head, because I can't even imagine it without feeling ill in the stomach, if you know what I mean. Yuck. I immediately started praying that the poor thing was already dead or something by the time I came along, because that would have been a HORRIBLE way to die, not to mention the fact that if it WASN'T dead, it was already suffering immensely from it's wounds.
I'm very upset about all this. Of course the day after I determine my new lifestyle this would happen to me. Of course. So, as the title suggests, I feel like a total hypocrite. And I feel ill. And I have a PKD migraine now that I'm hoping goes away before school tomorrow, which will only make the headache worse. Ugh. Anyway, I'm going to go try to relax.

This is the very last thing I have to do as a senior for senior ANYTHING. I hate it. I have to go stand in the gym to wait for a bunch of old people that will never come. Our budget vote is tonight and the seniors have to stand in front of our project boards and hope to God somebody comes through to look because otherwise we're all gonna be bored as hell.
We already stood in the gym for three hours today, and now another two. It' so ridiculous. Like the school hasn't milked this project since September anyway. Guh. And to make matters worse we werent even allowed to give out candy as a prize for the games we have to have in front.
They screwed us over on this one. Stupidddd.
Anyway, I have to get going before I'm late to another two hours of sheer boredom. BBL.

Silv and I did the song (can't remember if I wrote about that already) and I messed up my verse, but everybody said they didnt notice {which I dont really believe, but okay}. Now that that's over, she has to come sing it at my school on June fifth. Yay for being nervous all over again.
As I stated before, senior projects are done. I did my project on vampirism and porphyria. It's actually a very scary thing. And yes, I can prove to you all that vampires do, in fact, exist. so there. My project board was due on Friday, and tomorrow I have to go to school all dressed up to present my project board to the school in the gym. Then all the seniors have to go back at six and stay until eight presenting the boards to budget voters when they come through. Yay? Yuck.
But the good news is that after tomorrrow senior everything is DONE. We're reading Frankenstein right now and after that's done life will be all good again. I had my poetry project due today too...and I think it came out very well! I did it in photoshop, so here you go, linkage!!!
Anyway I gotta splittttt. So hope everyone liked that! lol Laterr.

I have officially been sucked into a vaccuum of insanity located at The Dollar Tree (aka the place of my employment). I went to work last night and I almost vowed never to go back again. Almost. Damn the need of green bills for spending.
1) Some crazy people were participating in a Hawaiian Scavenger Hunt. (Don't ask, I have no clue, they wouldn't tell me.) They came up to the register and proceeded to beg me to wear this purple cotton thong they were purchasing.
Me: Um, excuse me...?
Scavenger Hunt People: Yeah, if you could jus...put this on. Oh, and then sign it for us.
Me: ...I don't think I understand.
SHP: Well we're on a scavenger hunt, and we need you to wear this thong and then sign it.
Me: Right. I don't think so.
SHP: Please?! Jus over your pants, even.
Me: No.
SHP: Not even a pant leg??
Eventually I ended up putting the damn thing on my leg and holding it up for them to see. I signed it "Lena Jackson" and then handed it over, making sure they planned to pay for it before they left. Apparently the customer is still always right, even if they want you to wear lingerie in public.
2) A lady came up to the register during the busiest part of my shift and threw a candy wrapper at my head. She was freaking out, and tailing her was a little boy who's face and hands were absolutely covered in chocolate, so I had no question as to who the culprit was. The woman looked at me and was all like, "Okay here is the wrapper my little boy picked it up and ate it and we really have to go now I'm so sorry I couldnt just walk out and not pay for it so here's the money" --she throws a dollar and a dime at my head now, the dime stings a little-- "just ring it up and keep the change thanks!" And then she left. The people I was currently checking out looked at me and went, "I'm so sorry you work in retail."
There was something else that happened too but I actually can't remember. Ugh. Stupid retail stores.
Lena would now like to work at Roseland. Not as a lifeguard, but as a food service person or ticket-taker.

Besides him {who I realize I have yet to name -- [mushy]he is Joseph, and I love him very much[/mushy]}, nothing else has happened. However,
that_september {hereafter to be known as Silv, cause I KNOW you all know her as that} and I are singing For Good from Wicked for her Senior Song. I don't go to her school anymore but I get special privileges, apparently, cause nobody said anything about the fact that someone from a RIVAL school was going to be sharing a moment of glory with one of their many talented students. Rival...hmm. Maybe not. I'm pretty sure we aren't even in the same division in anything -- my high school would probably fit in Silv's school's elementary building.Anyway, I only got to write because everything's in a lull...Joseph is out of town, and though I miss him it's jus for the weekend, and Nana is complacent because I will not be asking about him for a few days. I've practiced with Silv and everything seems to be going okay. For now. It won't last, I know. *sigh*
Hope this wasn't too long for the friend's space deal... =]

It is SO boring. I went to the college I'm attending last night for my placement tests and while I was there I realized exactly how much I TRULY would like to be there instead at high school. Ugh.
Anyway, time for above mentioned punishment. I'll be back later.
** APPROXIMATELY 3:35 PM **
In any case, onto some happier news, yeah?
that_september has already seen most of my graphics and wallpapers and stuff, but you guys haven't, so here we go. I tried to do this yesserday but Internet Explorer is RETARDED {cough} and it deleted my post. If the image is too big, uh, someone lemme know how to do that thing where it's small until you click on it and then it opens in a new window. I like that, but I dunno how to do it. Anyway, without further ado, another example!!111one!Lena

It was stupid. By "fake" I mean a few of the people I associate with were screaming, "TOMORROW'S SKIP DAY SKIP IT!!" at the seniors leaving the school and it was wrong. Today was not senior skip day, so it's a good thing I went in and got marked as "attended." I left early to get a headstart on homework.
I attempted to change my layout but guess what - it didn't work. So I guess I'd better jus stick with what I know...If I need it changed, Silv, you'll have to do it for me. "Apply Theme" works great but I'm used to coding my own stuff and this jus ain't working for me.
So I guess basically I'm still jus feeling things out. I doubt I will be addicted to it {*pointed stare @ Silv*} but if I can gather my thoughts about it it may be a good place to put my graphics when life slows down. Maybe I'll even show you guys the things I end up making in school. Yeehaw.
Anyway, good days all 'round.
Lena.
** SEVERAL HOURS LATER **
Okay. So I didn't want to make a new post for this, but I figured it was relevant to my n00b-i-ness, and I wanted to make it clear:
^My philosophy, good as gold. No, unfortunately I didn't make that, I found it with the help of my boyfriend earlier and it was awesome lol. Thanks in advance. =]
- Mood: calm
You can all thank
that_september for this insaneness cause she made this thing for me and I actually have no idea how to use it, to be honest. I'm making this post for absolutely no reason because I'm WAY too tired to actually WRITE anything but that's alright. I'll update later.Yay for LJ? Hopefully no addiction here.
