Super Bowl Sunday !

Sup bloggers!

So it's been awhile. A few weeks maybe? I dunno. But these past few days have been great! Which I haven't been able to say in a LONG time. Did I tell you about my Math Enrichment class? I don't think I did. But in case I did, I'll shorten it a bit. I got that as my first connection after Winter Break! And the people in it are really cool!

We've got Avery, Cynthia, Jance, Devin, Austin, Camillo, Duane, Hayden, Brandon, Shandia, Julian, Morgan, and a few other people who just aren't worth adding in such a short period of time. JK. (;

But yeahh, I LOVE the class! And along with that I have AAP! Sooo.. what's that? It's a class for people who failed. I've got it for Language Arts! Now you're probably wondering like how I can be happy about that, right? Well, the people in there are totally awesome too! But I haven't gotten totally acustomed to them yet. There's this guy that's totally sweet though. His name's Anthony. I don't know a whole lot about him, but he's Asian and pretty cute! And another thing that makes that class cool is that I'm doing so well in it. I mean like Language Arts has been my best subject since forever, right? But of course my horrible teacher had to fail me. And because of it, everything I do gets A's in AAP. Which is good because the teacher likes me now and she even called me out on it, which I think is making the people in their like me a lot more.

Oh yeah, so how's SuperBowl Sunday? Ehh, well not a lot has been going on. I'm not going anywhere, and I'm having leftover pizza for dinner... I haven't watched either of the teams much before, so I just randomly took a side for the game later. Lets get 'em Steelers! And to make it even worse, I left my cell's charger in Jenn's car Friday and it went out yesterday afternoon. Way to go, Briana. So now I have to wait for her to drop it off when she picks up Jada from my brother's... Which will be around 11. /:

Btw I haven't talked to Isaac since Friday after school. I'm still not sure if I like him, but I do know I love talking to him. Too bad I can't use my cell. And don't you hate it when your friends bring out your worst qualities at the worst times? Pshh. I mean, my self-esteem's fine, so I can always take negative comments, but right in front of my crush? Ughh. Happened to me Friday, right before I left for the bus.

But other than that! Things are A-OK.

Look at the snow fall !

Hey bloggers!

So today was a lazy day. It started snowing last night at 11 all the way until today at 12, so of course we were off from school. We actually have 7 inches of snow now, which is probably the most Georgia's had in years. I planned on going to the mall with my friends today, but the weather shut it down, so that was a no-go. Ended up just taking a walk around the neighborhood, taking pictures, etc. It was actually very relaxing. We're obviously going to be off tomorrow, and the news said we should be off Wednesday and Thursday too, so I don't know what I'm going to do. But this is definitely a relief from everyday school stress, ahhh..


Now I'm sitting here watching Gossip Girl episodes from a Blockbuster DVD, while eating Ramen Noodles with Eggnog. Interesting mix there, huh? Ohh, and editing photos from today! Gosh dang, I'm such a multi-tasker... (;

Going back to school is going to be torture.

FRIDAYY (:

Thank God for Friday's! What would I do without them? (;

So today was a pretty good day. Started out horrible though. Like seriously some teachers just seem to be teaching for the sake of making their student's lives miserable. My Science teacher went absolutely bazonkers today because my blouse was too low.. Supposedly. So then I'm sent to the AP's office, and she admits it's not really bad enough to be called upon, but to call anyway. So called mom and she can't get a ride, and dad's at work.. I had to choices - wear someone else's DIRTY, OLD shirt, OR wear my peacoat. Fortunately my coat isn't 100% wool, so I wasn't that hot. And my mom ended up coming an hour after anyway. But I really think she was fussing over nothing, I just added a tank top underneath.


But something good did come out of that! It's small, but still good. My mom brought my tank top in a small Hot Topic bag (I like buying band shirts from there), and my crush (HK) LOVES Hot Topic. So for the first time since I got out of health with him, we had something to talk about! Even though it was a group conversation, but still! Made my day, since I can never seem to find something to talk about with him. (:


We had an assembly today too. Our principle has a habit of having assemblies about the same stuff over and over. I think he forgets he has already said these things... Must come with old age, which makes sense since he's RETIRING. Yep! He told us at the assembly too. Obviously you guys don't know this guy, but he is SUPER cool! He tells us the same thing EVERY day over the intercom, "And don't forget, I love you." I'll miss him, but it's my last year in middle anyway. And he told us by putting a picture of an island in the middle of his powerpoint, with a circle around an empty area on the beach; "That's where I'll be." :D Way to make us feel good, lol.

Btw I think I have a new crush... Well, two actually. But I totes still like HK! He's just kind of hard to get to know. But my first new crush I've known since I was eight. He's SO funny, and secretly a total sweety-pie too. But we don't talk much at ALL anymore /: He makes fun of me (playfully) sometimes and helps me with stuff I don't get in class, but not regularly. And my second crush... Well, I could easily go out with him now if I wanted to, he's totes obsessed with me, but there's just one bad thing I can't get over with him. He's sweet... He's funny... He's cute... But he has a really small BEARD. I mean, it's not really noticeable, only a few little strands, but he seems to like it a lot. So he always touches it while we're talking and it creeps me out, lol. I wonder if all Mexicans are like that.

One of my best friends, Amanda, wasn't at school today ): And neither was my other, Doris (well, she's just a good friend). Amanda was on vacation with her softball team, and Doris was celebrating Bosnian Christmas...? Who knew there was such a thing? Anyway, I got bored in chorus, so I called Amanda, hahaha. During bus dismissal, and since I'm on second load I have like 20 minutes to spare. But of course she didn't pick up. So I left a voicemail... And then another one... And another... Until I left 12 voicemails, lol. From the beginning of first load dismissal to when I got off the bus. She liked them, lmao. She told me all about it on my wall on Facebook. :D

Anyway, it's supposed to snow Monday AND Tuesday, so I really hope it does! I'll probs be at the mall tomorrow... Even though I'm completely broke, don't know what I'm going to do. I spent all the money on my card, so I have to wait until more money is added to my account, which takes FIVE days, so I have to wait until MONDAY. ): Pizza night's tonight though! Have a FANTASTIC FRIDAYY !

New Year's Eve (:

Happy New Year's Eve!

So New Years is probably my all-time favorite holiday. Looking back on the past just excites me. I get so anxious! But until someone invents the great time-travel machine I'm stuck waiting to see what the future unfolds. Anyways, I'm not one to throw out New Year's resolutions. I'm definitely not the best at them, but I'm just feeling so positive about 2011.. Why not? Here goes.

#1: Work harder in school.
#2: Get back into dance.
#3: Transfer schools.
#4: Find love.
#5: Join a yoga class.
#6: Stop procrastinating.
#7: Get closer to family.
#8: Start saving money.
#9: Make completely different friends.
#10: Just be happy.

Let's see where this gets me.. Anywho, decided to stick around at home this year. Last year I was at Disney World and the year before that was New York City! Maybe I'll order some pizza; Skype with some friends. I dunno. But thank God for 2011. I couldn't be happier that 2010 is finally coming to an end.

Up for some shopping?

Hey bloggers!

So I spent the day shopping with my two nieces. Sounds much easier than it actually is... Oldest one's Jada. That girl has changed my life. She's down syndrome, but you can barely tell when you talk to her. It's not bad at all. She just stutters a lot, that's about it. She's six, but she always looks about two years younger than she is. I'm not sure if that's because of the syndrome or if it's in her genes. Her mom is extremely petite.

My next is Mya. She's the newest addition to our family. Born on August 9 of this year, and I love her to death! But she cries a lot.. a WHOLE lot. So it was a very interesting experience..



^ Ohh, and the guy's my brother.. But he looks REALLY bad in that photo, so just try your hardest to picture him not there. And FYI, it's two different women (ex-wife and girlfriend), so that's why they're completely different skin tones, lol.

Anyway, back to shopping. I'm kind of getting tired of Aeropostale, which everyone knows is my all-time favorite clothing store. I'm sick of the same old clothes with the same old logo. Like seriously, the logo's fine with me, but shake up the clothing styles a bit! But that's just my opinion. And that's not very good considering how much money in giftcards I have from there.

Another thing? How is it that some people can be SO rude, and others can be overly nice (like where you're scared)? I had one of the worst experiences taking back a gift from Wet Seal today! The employee I was dealing with was probably the nastiest person I've ever delt with.. Probably. But fortunately after talking with customer care, I was able to get a full refund which I used on more clothes from Wet Seal... But then I went to Charlotte Russe and the employee helping me out was so nice that I lied to her about liking some of the clothes I tried on. How is that? Must be some serious PMSing. But I'm going back to school with at least a month's worth of new outfits, which makes me happy. (:

Merry Late Christmas! (:

Sup Bloggers!

I've missed you! I'll definitely start with some more posts. So anyway it's a day after Christmas and I've got a bad migrane.. which isn't all that abnormal actually. I've been getting them every day for a month now! What's up? I've been to two doctors and they keep giving me meds to make it go away, but they don't help at all! Could it be sinuses? I don't think so.. but who knows? Christmas was okay though, nothing special. I miss the old ones with just me and my mom. Those were nice. What'd I get? An Aeropostale Giftcard, a Wet Seal giftcard, some NB sneakers, a new cell (Samsung Solstice), and an American Express Pass card (starting with $100, $75/monthly)!

So the last time I posted was like more than a year ago, so pretty much everything has changed.. Actually, take that back. SOME things have changed. Kimani? He's a goner. We had our ups and downs and all arounds, but it's finally ended. Which isn't such a bad thing. I've been single for awhile now, but no worries, it's tots my decision. I've been messing around with a few guys recently, but truthfully I cannot see a relationship with any of them, so for now.. It's all fun and games.

But don't get me wrong, I do like someone though.. Code name: HK. Only thing? He doesn't know I exist. Well, take that back. He knows.. But definitely not for any good reasons. He's in two of my classes, and just finished up health with him too. Why do I like him you ask? It's complicated. Nahh, actually that's a big lie. He has the nicest legs EVER. Sounds creepy, I know.. But I'm a sucker for a guy with hairy legs. No joke there.

So on the topic of school.. Not good. I keep failing every class! And I have to have a passing average in every class for both semesters to graduate from middle. Yeahh, I'm still in PROBE, surprisingly. But I did get kicked out for TWO weeks.. Crazy, huh? So a bunch of BS went on and I ended up back in advanced classes. And we're on holiday break. Know what that means? I failed this semester. SUMMER SCHOOL. I've never even thought about summer school! Never had to! I wonder what it's like.. Probs scary, surrounded by a bunch of stupid failures. And for now, I'm gonna be back in regular-ed. But this time I haven't told anyone! It's gonna be one shocker for my friends.

Speaking of friends.. This past year I have finally learned who my true ones are. I was hanging out with a bunch of fakes in 2010, that's for sure. I'm ready for a change. A makeover, in my head and on my body. Which is perfect considering I'm about to switch schools.. Probs. But not until around February, which to me feels like forever. You'll get more dets another time. Later!

Home... Sick... *Cough*

Yep, its that time of year again. My seasonal allergies are at their best, but this time its something different... Well, it started Monday afternoon right after school. My mom thought I picked something up from my friends at school (half of all my classes are out sick), but when we went to the doctors I was told I have something completely different. I had some type of repitary virus, which completely sucks because I could barely breathe! I was turning colors!

FInally one day it got so bad I went to the hospital around 12 am! The last time I was in a hospital was when I was around 4 years old, so I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. For me "as soon as possible" was 4 hours later. Yes, it took them about 2 hours to see me and then another 2 to tell me what was wrong! Unfortuantly, the statistics lady (person who weighs you, and asks for symptoms), the nurse, and the doctor all said different things. So now I know I either have a virus, a cold, a fever, or the flu. Greeaaattt..

A therapist had to come in and teach me how to use a rescue inhaler also. Its funny because when I was younger I always wanted one of those, but now that I have to use one its not so fun anymore. Fortunatly, I don't have asthma (so they say), so I don't have to keep using it. It's only for when I have colds or when I'm just having a hard time getting air.

As soon as I learned how to use it, the color of my face became normal again. This freaked my mom out because she thought it was just from me being ill. It was obvious I hadn't been getting enough oxygen.



That was yesterday. I've been out sick for 3 days. Today should be my last day. I want to go back tomorrow (Friday), so they'll give me all my make-up work to do over the weekend...

Speaking of the weekend, Labor Day weekend is coming up! I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing yet. I can either choose the family or friends approach. My mom's friend (who's like family) is getting remarried, so she wants to go to the wedding in New York, but I wanted to hang with my friends this weekend... I guess we'll see.

KIMANI ALERT: We've been fighting... I still love him, but he keeps flirting! I've gotten so much advice from other guys about it. So what I did last week was asked him if he still loved me. When he said "Of course." I forwarded all the texts guys have sent me with advice on the situation. And there were A LOT of messages! Like:

"If he's hugging up on other girls he likes them. It's common sense Bri."

"You need to move on. The guys playing you like a fiddle. He knows you'll always love you, so he's taking advantage of you. Find someone else."

"What's going on is he likes being able to call you his girl, but he also likes being single.. So he's doing what he can to keep both. Dump him."

And SO many more!

I could tell he was really getting into it, because he sent me back a text saying "Wow.. I haven't realized how much of a dueche I've been since you forwarded those messages... I'm really sorry." And ever since he's been trying to make it up to me. Awww! (:

And he's so caring... Since I've been sick he's been calling me every morning and afternoon to see if I'm alright. He's even sending these little phrases of lyrics from my favorite songs! How sweet is that?

"Are you afraid of being alone? Cuz I am, I'm lost without you."
