YAY!!! NO SCHOOL UNTIL DECEMBER!!! This year, we were very fortunate, and for the first time got a whole week off for Thanksgiving Break. Friday (yesterday was our last day and we dont come back til next Monday. oh joy. Yesterday night, I went to the movies w/ McClain, Steph and Meery. We FINALLY got to see the 2nd Harry Potter movie. It was good...better than the first; though some stuff was left out. Like always, the book is better. It was funny though...like...this one part Neville Longbottom is hung from the ceiling by these lil pixies. Then hes like "Why is it always me??" At that moment, McClain Meery and Steph just looked at me like i dunno...i was like...What???? Then they all just laughed...they said it was something i would have said. oh joy...now im just like Neville. lol. Then we went to this Chineese food restaurant, the Great Wall...very nice place...and had dinner...it was good. Then i got home at like 11pm. Today, i packed my stuff...we are going to Maine tomorrow and will come back probably Friday. At 3pm today, we had our Swimathon fundraiser to raise money for our swim team and for the 2 PG county victims of the sniper attacks and their families. Speaking of the sniper attacks, i found this awhile ago..its a memorial of the sniper attacks. Sort of sad. I played it like 6 times in a row...it was sooo creepy. Now...im not one for the death penalty...i don't think its our job to end peoples lives...but if anyone deserves that punishment, these guys do. Actually, i wouldnt mind just locking them in jail forever and letting them waste away there, as long as they never get let out. That would be torture.
Anyways, back to the swimathon. We had an hour to do as many laps as we could. I did 144 laps!!! I was SO happy!! My goal was to do 100...but i though that might be a stretch; since freshman year i only did 64 laps and last year i did 84. I was proud of myself. And, surprisingly, i wasnt even tired at the end. So, yeah...i was proud of myself. Only thing was...i kept hearing pple while i was swimming say thing like.."Stephanie isn't stopping" of "Stephanie's doing great!" etc etc etc. And i was like...hold up... Stephanie (my twin sister) was behind me...i lapped her a few times and i knew i did more than her. Later, i found out that they thought i was stephanie while i was swimming...i was like..NOOOOO! see...i NEVER get any credit!!! aahhhh! I HATE being a twin. grr...o well. im still happy.
Though tomorrow...i wont be. ill be in the car for 12 hours on the way 2 Maine....what fun.....boo.....

hey all! Yay! 2day was great. I had a field trip to Camp Schmidt w/ GLOBE clube. it actually was fun...we learned stuff...but we were acting slow. Lotsa jokes and funny stuff. i had fun. And i missed swim team practice in the morning cause of it, and had no after school stuff. YAY! I finished the little homework i had. Now i must study for Adkin's huge 2 day test...mayn...i WANT an A in his class...and an A on a test...just once..i wanna make it to the "promised land" (aka get an A on his test)....just once...and ill be happy. Now, im looking for a science fair topic...boo...need one by Friday...darnit..

Which Disney Princess are you?

Hmm...i dont think Belle is really me...im not a bookworm (though thanx 2 Lindsay im finding some good books and have started reading again) i dont think im stubborn (well...ok..just a little lol) and i dont think im surrounded by idiots!! (if anything..pple make it clear that im the idiot! lol j/k :)

**Please sign guestbook. For some reason, my links arent coming up....bummer. So ima be ghetto and put my guestbook in every entry. Ill work on my other links later....
hey guys. im bored. was just talking to Sharis and looking for a sciene fair topic. I think i found one. Me and Valerie are doing a project together.
Im also at Kazaa downloading songs...it takes forever since i have a slow old computer. Im listening to "On Bended Knee" by Boys II Men. i kno..its old. But they are one of my old favorites...some great songs. I downloaded that a while ago. I've just finished downloading P.O.D.'s "Youth of a Nation." I sorta like that song...ever since it played on Boston Public...i like that show. I missed this weeks episode though...im not a real loyal fan to any t.v. show....except for American Idol...can't wait til AI2 starts up. I dunno why i liked it so much...it had the most commercials i ever seen!! but im a sucker for reality t.v.....Real World..American Idol...Making the Band...that rap talent search thing P. Diddy does on MTV....Road Rules...Survivor...Big Brother..Dog Eat Dog....all that type of stuff i like....dont ask.
Anyways..now im downloading Dirty by Christina Aegulera (sp?). Love the song...hate the video and her...o well.

Hmmmmm... i hate web pages. Did u kno i hate web pages?? They are so hard to change...even bloggers hard...grr.... Im soooo....not up to date on this technology stuff...which is a shame, since im supposed to be a part of this "young, new digital era." boo....arent i lucky.... Computers drive me crazy...and yet...how did i ever live without one?? Like..think back to before internet was big...for school projects...I ACTUALLY WENT TO THE LIBRARY!!! omg...wow... Now..i rarely go there. Not that i hate the library...books r cool...but, its just such a hassle... Now, you can do research and study right in the comfort of your own home. ah. how refreshing.
But now, you got all the problems too...like..teachers now expect you to have access to a computer or internet. In perticular, this happens around summer and winter vacation. A teacher (theres always one) has to ruin vacation by giving a project...that has to be typed size 12 font double spaced. Now...heres the problem. On vacation...i actually go places. But most of the time, the places i go there isn't a computer or internet access around. Now...that sucks. But the teacher still expects you to do it somehow. Isn't technology great?
And then, theres people like me: who dont know much html, who cant do much online besides check out sites, do homework and email. But, like me, these people try to stay up w/ their computer-literate friends (aka Rajni, Hope, Sarah..) and make a web site for themselves. Now, i started w/ a website...a real web homepage. I actually had 6..but..i delete one, make a new one....delete...make new...delete...ya get the picture. Well, at first, i ACTUALLY thought i could make a cool site....but after like 4 hours of attempting, i gave up. And i settle for stealing someone elses background and another persons pictures. Eventually, i realize how hard a page was...and i became smart and moved to have a simple blog...hence Unlocked Journal. Actually, it started off as "MD's Rants" for a day, then became "MD's World" and then for a few weeks "MD's Lil Book of Stuff." Then, permanently it became Unlocked Journal. wow. good stuff. Problem is...since it became that...its only had 2 layouts. Which is why i tried today to change it again. Quite frankly, i dunno if it changed. If, as you are reading this, the background is yellow, this is a new layout and YAY everything worked. If this is red or blue, ive failed in this attempt to change my blog and im mad. If you can't see this entry...something went terribly wrong and im too lazy/mad to fix it....so there....hopefully it worked.... peace. :::Lynn0488@aol.com

:::just went 2 rajni's page...that gurl makes the best layouts!!! aahhh!! i feel so slooooowww compared 2 her!!! aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! lol. i need help::::

hey all!!
Yesterday was fun! well, the end of it was. Me and Steph went to Lindsay's house for awhile (i love having some1 in my neighborhood now!!! lol). We watched "A Walk To Remember" (that is like...THE sweetest and saddest movie!! I LOVE IT!) and had pizza. Then, Karate Kid 3 was on Disney Channel...that is the most RETARDED show!! but we on and off watched that (while talking about how slow it was) while we talked about all sorts of other stuff. Had some good conversations about some random stuff...houses...how real life is so different from t.v.....blah blah blah...just stuff. :) It was fun. And mayn...did i tell u she has like the coolest house??!! Its so neat and clean and theres all this cool stuff from like Japan and other countries. Its so nice!! Im like...darnit...why does my house gotta suck?? lol. She did inspire me to clean my room though. Its quite a bit neater now...i cleaned it last night. Cause..ok..i got back from Lindsays at like...10:15pm about. Then i watched South Park on t.v. (they talk SO FUNNY!!! lol) when i remembered...i had put my bed sheets in the wash earlier that morning...and forgot to put them in the dryer!!! So i went down and did that. And while i waited for them to dry i cleaned my room...and finally got to bed around 1:30am. Whew! lol. o well...now my room is walk-through-able. :)
