Lost My Phone

Okay, this happened YESTERDAY, but I didn't have time to post.

Anyways, this is what happened. I was at lunch w/ my friends (ingen duh! =D [for Karoline!]). blah blah blah we were eating lunch blah blah blah it was the end of lunch.

I got up to leave.

I was like 'high'-ish because I had candy, and most of my friends know what happens when I have candy. Anywho, I was laughing and giggling all the way to my next period, English.

When I got there, I realized that I didn't have my phone. Uh-oh. Big trouble. Then thing was, I had it in my back pocket. It must've fell out when I was getting up and leaving.

I was in MAJOR panic mode - my parents would kill me. So I hurriedly went up to my teacher and asked her if I can go look for it. She said yes [THANK YOU!].

I searched all over the place. I retraced my route and everything. But none. My phone was NOWHERE to be seen.

I returned to the classroom. And I was miserable.

I told Rain that I couldn't find my phone. She suggested that she go and look w/ me. After all, she said, two eyes were better than one. I felt better, but was still worried.

After we finished our journal write, I asked my teacher if I could go look for it. Rain didn't know if she could go, but she went w/ me anyway, sneaking out. =D

Later when we came back, we had empty hands.

"Find it, girls?" Mrs. Gousios asked. I shook my head. The class asked what I had lost. And I said my phone.

Back in my seat, Jacob asked me if I lost my phone. I nodded. I felt miserable. I was feeling so sorry for myself. But I was freaking out. After all, if I lost my phone, then my parents would kill me and they wouldn't let me have my own camcorder.

We did our work and sometime after, an office helper came in holding my phone. I recognized it before he gave it to my teacher. It had a sticky note. On it spelled my name - wrong as always. >.< But I was still SO happy that I got it back.

Funny thing is, before that, Jacob had left the classroom to do something. I'm not sure what. Oh well...*suspicious*

The class applauded like I won some prize (which I kinda did). Made me feel better and I was happy I got my phone back.

The End. =D Oh wow, what a lame-o entry. I still needed to write it though.

Whoever turned in my phone, thank you. I really want to know WHO because I want say thank you to you in person. Hope if you read this, please reveal yourself.

Parental Anger(management?)

Scenario: You're just doing your homework when your father storms up and starts yelling at you. You don't know why. You talk back to him, telling him that you're just doing your homework. He yells and says that that's not what you're doing.

What the heck? What is wrong with them? Sometimes, I believe that they need to calm down and think before they yell at us.

That's is similar to my own scenario, though it's not the same. I just don't understand why they just get mad. Maybe fathers PMS too? Haha.

School's a chore. I seriously believe that the reason we have to go to school is to make sure we don't plan an invasion and take over the world. I'm SO positive that's the reason why we have to go to school. See, each school year is 180 days. One year has 365. That's basically half a year we're in school.

And if you multiply that by...[counts]...12 grades (not counting kindergarten or preschool) - each grade is half a year. 12 grades is...6 years.

And we start first grade around...6? So that would be approximately 12 years we spend in school. That's a lot.

That's not counting college. College is 4 years. So that would be...16 years in school. Sometimes, we take MORE than 4 years in college. Sometimes we go BACK to college. Our life is spent SO much around school...I believe that's indoctrination and keeping us from ruling the world. >.< I shall rebel and overthrow the dictator. *mwahahaha*

Back to the topic. As if we aren't stressed at all. Parents get mad when THEY are stressed at work. They believe that they have it the hardest, that we, as children, have it easier. It's TOTALLY wrong. There's so much drama at school, homework, teacher conflicts, etc., it never seems to end.

So what is it? What is the problem? We all have our own problems to deal with. Why do we take it out on others? Why do we burden others with our OWN problems?

Photos

Okay, I've always seen those cute and absolutely adorable doggie calendars and notebooks. Now, I know how much work they go through to take them.

So, this week is Halloween. In my photo class, we're having a Halloween photo contest with the themes being: Gory, Humor, Costume, Sweets, etc.

I LOVE my dog to death so I decided to use him as my model. (Just so you know, he's absolutely photogenic and LOVES being prettied. He runs towards me everytime he sees me with the camera and would sit right in front of me. He's such a sweetie. =D) Back on topic, I was trying to get him to behave when I put a party hat on him, but Frisky, being the naughty girl she was, pulled it off every time. Sunny got annoyed and decide to pick a fight. They wrecked the hat and also a lei I put on him.

That was in the afternoon. When I fed them later, I locked Frisky out. I put Sunny in a Home Depot apron and he looked so adorable. But he kept on moving about, so I got out a treat. That's when the world turned upside down.

Sunny saw the food. He went CRAZY. No, I'm not exaggerating. If he was hyper before, this was like he was on doggie steriods. No kidding. He FLEW all over the place, hopping up and down. He kicked the carpet away (I had him sit on a carpet w/ a 'Happy Halloween' sign in front), crumpled the sign, and basically was crawling on me. >.< He's not that light.

Finally, we got him to sit still for a few seconds. I also had to worry about my camera running out of batteries (it drains them like crazy. =.='). It took a LONG time. I'm not sure if they turned out right. I'll have check tomorrow at school.

What a crazy day. Taking pictures of animals is already hard. Imagine having to FILM one!

Cheerleader Took Flu Shot, Now Can Only Walk Backwards

WASHINGTON, D.C. – An Ashburn, Virginia woman is in the fight of her life after suffering a very rare side effect to the seasonal flu shot.

The vast majority of doctors say flu shots are safe. In this case, the FDA says they found nothing wrong with this particular batch, but sometimes there are complications.

That’s apparently what happened to Desiree Jennings, and now her life will never be the same.

At 26 years old, Desiree Jennings was the picture of health. She’s a Washington Redskins cheerleader and an avid runner. Her life changed forever on August 23 when she says she got a seasonal flu shot at a local grocery store.

“I was training for a half marathon then,” said Jennings, crying. “It just all went so fast.”

Ten days after receiving the shot, she came down with the flu. After that, her health spiraled downwards. She started passing out and had to be hospitalized twice.

“We went to an urgent care place and they wouldn’t even let her get out of my truck because she was seizing in the back so bad, so they called an ambulance immediately,” says her husband, Brendan Jennings.

Doctors at Fairfax Inova and Johns Hopkins diagnosed her with a rare neurological disorder called dystonia. They think it was caused by a severe reaction to the flu shot.

Desiree now has difficulty speaking, walking, and even eating. During an interview with FOX 5, she had several seizures. The effects are irreversible.

“The symptoms will get worse if I use my voice or walk when the brain signals are misfiring,” says Jennings.

Desiree reported her health problems to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) thinking there might have been something wrong with her vaccine. We also contacted the FDA and we were told they found no problems with the particular lot of flu vaccines that Desiree received, and the agency has not received any other reports of adverse effects from this lot.

Health experts stress that overall, extreme side effects are rare.

“The flu shot is safe for the majority of the public, and as I said before, your heart goes out to someone that experiences this sort of thing– thinking that they are doing something great for their wellness and their general health, but it does happen in extremely rare cases,” says Rachel Lynch with Fairfax Inove Health System.

For Desiree, she just happened to be one of those rare cases.

“I just don’t want this to happen to anyone else,” says Jennings.

Desiree and her husband plan to visit the Mayo Clinic in Arizona in November. They’re hoping to get more answers about this disease and how they live with it.

Desiree has received flu shots before in 2007 and 2008.

This is really sad. She's one of the million to receive the side effects. I'd much rather fight the flu and build my immune system. I never go to the doctor's anyway, if I can help it. =D

I hope they find a cure for this.

ANOTHER BLOG!?!

Yes yes, I know. Why would I have yet ANOTHER blog when I have like a kabillion others?

I can't resist. But this time, this is for reals. I'm not creating another blog, not in a LOOOOOOOOONG time. My other blogs will be closed down. The only other blog I'm keeping is imaginations roam free. It really like that one. It's really pretty. =D

Anyways, this is my first post. Wha-la. What is there to say?

Any updates I make on ANYTHING or whatever I feel like chatting about, will all be here. Maybe you don't want to listen to me wail, rant, complain about the oh so horrible! things in my life. Well, eh, too bad. You can leave or stay.
