Bussing Randomness

I was driving down the road today and I saw a bus from the First Student bus company.

In a random, spur-of-the-moment thought, I cried out, “What about the second student? What about them?”

Thank you, that is all.

Character Day

Some things in American schools are strange, and today was one of those things! It’s called “spirit week” and I forget the real cause of it, but throughout the week we have to dress up as certain things (well if we want to). Yesterday was nerd day, the day before was college day, etc, etc.

So I took photos of my friends, and they let me show them online :D.

Brae - The Black Superman

Brae - "The Black Superman"

Brae told me he was “The Black Superman”. He had to hide behind me so he didnt get caught with PJ pants on though >:D.

Mike - Dorothy

Mike - Dorothy

Mike decided to be his icon; Dorothy. He was hilarious and sauntered into the classroom yelling “these heals are killing me!” He shaved his legs for the part, but somehow missed his face LOL.

Jessica - Misa from Death Note

Jessica - "Misa" from "Death Note"

Jessica surprised me; I was so happy to see she had done her hair exactly like Misa :D.

We had a few others too:

Poison Ivy

Poison Ivy

A Pirate

A Pirate

The Best ones are last!!

Kaya - Paris Hilton

Kaya - "Paris Hilton"

Kaya (pronounced K-eye-a as far as I know) was “Paris Hilton”. She was literally unrecognisable, and the only way I knew it was her was because of her obvious energy and charisma!

Brant - Dr. House

Brant - "Dr. House"

This would have to be the most awesome photo ever. Brant looks like House, but younger. I LOVE House!

I had nothing to dress up as, so I didnt join in. I did, however, enjoy watching the others who did :D.

A place for writers…

I wanna start another forum. I want to restart the forum I had not long ago, for writers. It was for poets, playwrights, storytellers, journalists, lyricists, fanfictionists, etc. anyone who wrote. Anyone who just wanted to write.

It was in existence, but I never launched it. It was SO unbelievably good looking. It looked cool, it looked awesome…but I never launched it.

It was for writers over 18, who had a passion and desire to write. Who wanted to share their works, and we had sections for everything…if we didn’t have it for something it could be easily requested and implemented. We had a spot for poetry, short stories, long stories and serial stories (the one’s that come in parts/chapters), a spot for journalistic entries, and lyrics. We had a spot for plays, and other scripts. There would be room for all sorts of stories, and it was all really well laid out, nice and neat… and it honestly looked sexy.

Part of the reason it was never launched was fear. What if it never took off? What if it did, would I have the time and knowledge to keep it up?

Another part of it was that my domain name was attached to it. I didn’t want a subdomain, I wanted a new one. The domain I want is free, I just cannot find a cheap registrar or something. Maybe I will look into one for registration and hosting in one.

My writing has been looked down upon many times, but usually when people see my essays and letters they shut up. I know I’m not a professional writer, but I would really appreciate being taken seriously every once in a while.

Pregnacy scare tactics

I believe my teacher is using them. If not… they’re WORKING!!

It started all good, early childhood learning that is, with her telling us about the kids who would be coming in closer to the end of the year, how great it would be….

Then she started telling us about c-sections (Caesarean sections) and epidurals… now normally I’m okay with this but she got kinda graphic, telling us how they cut and where and what they do… Telling us about the needle and stuff.

I don’t faint at the sight of blood or anything like that….but I was so close. Once you start talking of cutting or stabbing (needles) living people…

Then, she decided to let us know the state we live in is number one for STDs…

The last part was the project to show us how expensive babies are. I surrender! I’ll never have sex or make babies :P.

Obviously that was sarcasm, but naturally that form of contraception is certainly working on me. I love that class though, I’ve learnt a LOT :D.

Jades-World New Look (released!)

So it’s released. I took the cheap way out and ported my WP theme lol..

Yeah, sad isnt it. I’m not much of a designer. I would be happy having everything in tables but apparently semantic code is the way to go.

It’s SUPER easy for me to update, and yes, along with the new look we’ve had to say goobye to some things. I will no longer be continuing the artwork section, only that of poetry and graphic design. You can still buy artwork if you wish, just shoot me an email and I’ll shoot back the price and all the details about the peice. People are still doing this so don’t feel weird about it lol.

Anyways, I will get around to fixing the “about site” page, as my FTP broke and decided it liked the file empty :(.

Anyways, The AC will be getting its new theme shortly, which matches the sites new look!!
