Police Confrontation XD

So I completely forgot in my earlier post what happened on Tuesday-and so I shall tell you! I could just go back and add it in, but it's epic enough and long enough to get a whole post to itself. This happened a while ago, March 24, but I've busy so it's just now that I'm getting a chance to write about it. 

So, it all started with a minimum day. Open house was unusually early this year, but it was, so we had a minimum day, as usual, but in March instead of the traditional April. We originally were all going to go get pizza, us in our little group, but it ended up breaking up because we had no plans, so instead Lauren, Olivia, Angie, Katia, and I went to get falafel. Well Angie didn't get anything and Katia went to get a bagel. But the point is, we were all together. And, although I was a little hesitant in trying falafel, it was quite good. So we still had a lot of time on our hands and decided to go to the Long's Parking Structure, since Olivia and Angie had never gone, and it's so awesome. Katia went to the library to work on a project, since she had to go back to school at 3 for play practice. And she's boring. But anyway.

So we get to the Parking Structure. And then we just kinda fool around. We were looking at this roof right next to one of the sides, and thinking about how you could probably jump over to it, but we wouldn't do it, since if you fell, there's this really narrow deep alleyway that would be very painful to fall down. And we were thinking how it would be a good place to hide a dead body, because so few people go up there at all, much less look down that chasm. It also involved seeing money and wanting to grab it, seeing blood-like stains on the concrete in the Chasm, and dropping pennies into the Chasm. Anyway, we were thinking about murder mysteries and the Da Vinci Code, and wanted to write a letter to a random person. Kinda like a time capsule, you know? Where you write a letter, then someone somewhere will find it one day and it's so awesome, and you just make their day? Yeah. So we were writing this letter, and we had Lauren's pencil pouch out, and all these highlighters and stuff were out, and we were like in our own little world. Then this car, a truck to be exact, comes and drives up, and we notice it and are wondering what's up, because no one really comes to the Structure, much less the top. And Olivia wanted to run because she thought they were creepy people. Not exactly in the way she thought... they were the police.

It should be noted (sorry the flow of this is going to be mentioned, but I believe it is important to the plot), that before, in between the Chasm stuff/wanting to write a letter and the actual writing of the letter, we decided to drop pennies off a side we could actually stand on, and see if they would bounce. We wouldn't be able to see in the Chasm, where the idea originated (and from the Lemon Launcher. Long story). So we were dropping pennies, Olivia and Angie on top, Lauren and I down below watching. And we see this huge carrier storage truck about to come by, and tell Angie to drop a penny on it. We weren't totally serious, but she did it, and it was really loud. like really loud. (hehe bold!) And the driver glared at us via his mirror. It was funny and really awkward at the same time. 

So, zoom back. The people get out of the car, unbeknownst to us they are police (they are plainclothes cops at the moment, in suits/shirt and tie). And they take out their badges and stuff, extremely legit. Apparently they were having some tagging (grafitti) problems up there. And they see us. With pens and pencils out. Luckily, the stereotype of shy girls came to our aid. So we said we weren't doing anything, just writing this letter (which I don't know is like, all that legal either. Not illegal, just not very... not something you tell a cop, you know?) and they asked us some questions and stuff. It didn't help that it was during the time where we would be in school. But it was a minimum day. Yeah. At the time it was very awkward and nerve-racking, and I was thinking they were going to ask us about the penny/car thing. But no. I guess this was better since we weren't guilty, but a more serious offense and we probably looked kinda guilty in the circumstances.

 So they left, and we were all *sigh of relief*-ey, and then finished our letter, dropped it in the Chasm (very dramatic falling, by the way) and left. Olivia and Angie went to get gelato. Lauren and our were talking about the book we should write. And all of us were saying how awesome it was, even though it was not at all at the time. 

And that's my police confrontation! I think there's some more details but I don't really remember and it's late. So that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Thanks for listening. How awesome. 

TGIF

At long last, the week is over. I can finally sleep more than 7 1/2 hours. 

The week has been very long, but has flown by at the same time. It's just been very busy. With finding out about this award on Monday, working on my project all week, GSA meeting on Wednesday, Youth in Government Day... It's been packed. I'm probably gonna crash after writing this, take a nap or read. But I want to talk about my week and maybe some other stuff since I was just complaining yesterday... XD

So... Monday. I had Outlet group. And before we started, Eileen told me I was going to be receiving one of the Youth Leadership Awards! I'm so so so so excited and thankful and surprised and humbled... Just all these emotions running around like crazy. It helps me think that maybe I can make a difference after all. It's a good feeling. And then heaped on with that, was Troy from OutNow Magazine, who is doing an article on Out to Eat (when I'll be presented with the award) and is mentioning me! It's such a great opportunity and such, it's just so exciting! My head has been kinda reeling about that all week. 

Then Tuesday I thought something happened, but I can't remember. I talked with Troy, so that's what I mentioned before. I don't think there's much other than that. 

Wednesday we had what I think was kind like our first GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) meeting. It went pretty well, but everyone burst out into some kind of conversation at every little word. It was a little irritating, but I think they'll get better. We have to work out some kinks, like hot lunch, leaving the lunch area, etc, but I'm hoping it will become more like an actual GSA. I have to organize some things to see what people want from it, VP, etc and also talk with Eileen and Ms. Jacobs about a few things, but I have hope. 

Then yesterday was Youth in Government Day! Overall, it was a fun, good experience. We had a mock city council meeting, which was interesting, but it would have been nice if I knew what I was meant to do for longer than about a minute. No one had told me, so I didn't know... But it was all good. No one really knew what we were supposed to do so I didn't stick out as bad or anything. I hope. haha. Then there was this tour of Mountain View around the area, like to the library, Center for the Performing Arts, Pioneer Park, etc. It was interesting and short enough at each place to not be dull. I was in the group without Lauren or Olivia, so I didn't know anyone very well, but it was still fun. Then there's this thing called YAC, or Youth Advisory Council, which I'm thinking of applying for. It's like the youth voice in the Mountain View government. Sounds like a good experience to be part of, and right up my alley. I hope I make it. 

Then today I had my presentation. It wasn't too bad, I didn't check the clock at the beginning, so I don't know how long it went, but hopefully it worked out. I don't know, it's hard to, since on one hand, Ms. Dorocak didn't really say anything other than good job (while she said Hayley's was one of the best she's seen, even though it wasn't that spectacular), but people also said I did well. I don't know. But whatever, I don't have to worry about it anymore! Yay!!!!!

So now, I'm getting excited for tomorrow's 3 am party, thinking about Smart & Final and animal crackers, watching some YouTube videos and thinking of reading or sleeping. And what else I'm going to write here.

Over and out for now. 

Geez....

So I don't really know how often I'm going to write in this blog. It relates to what it will be about.

 I'm going to try to write every day, with a few exceptions, but it might not happen. We'll see. 

Today has to be short, since I still have a project to work on, two people to email (one being the principal, but I might just talk to her tomorrow), classwork to review, a vocab quiz to study for, a review I should do, and probably more. I'll talk more about today tomorrow, since there was some interesting things. Right I'm just gonna gripe about how much homework I had. (I was gonna use a different word, but I'll keep it PG. Or PG-13. Though I suppose if you're going by modern rules, this is already R since the main character/person is gay. Stupid society.)

I had a long TBQ to do, Math homework, a weird worksheet about symbols and in which I had to write a summary via poem, and a weird note/worksheet page. It doesn't sound like much but it took a while... and all that stuff I mentioned in previous paragraph. I also gotta organize some GSA stuff for next meeting, talk about it with Andrea and the others. I don't really know what they want to make of it, and they don't want mission statements, or plans of action or something (claim it will make them take it less serious-irony!) so maybe next week I'll do a poll. Gotta get to that.

I am also distracted, or whatever by my excitement for Saturday night. Lisa, Jess, and I are going to have our 3 am movie party, in which we will watch RENT and Monty Python. It's going to be awesome. I would elaborate on another awesome aspect, but it's a surprise. :D I really enjoy talking to both of them, but since they're sophmores at Mountain View High, I don't see them that much... so hopefully these 3 am movie nights will happen more than once! Not to mention that I have a huge crush on Jess, so I look forward to spending time with her... I won't say much more in case she's reading this. XD

Yeah, so it took me a really long time to fall asleep last night because I was excited, and thinking about today, and just thinking about things in general. The crazy stuff that goes on in my brain. So I was really really tired this afternoon in particular. The morning was okay, but I wanted to fall asleep during my clarinet lesson (and therefore was very unfocused for that last bit), and then when I was doing all that homework, and now. I just want to sleep for a long amount of time. Sigh. 

Okay, I think that's it for now. I gotta go find more pictures related to rats, crosses, knights, and maps. XD

First Blog!

Hey everyone! 

I don't even know who is going to read this.

Probably no one. XD

Anyway, I just felt like making a blog, as a good way to vent things I don't feel like necessarily talking about.

Also spreading the word on stuff.

Of course, first, I have to decide what this blog is going to be centralized around. Is it a talk about my personal life thing? Is it talk about LGBTQQPDI (from now on going to be called queer or LGBTQ because that acronym is just insane) stuff? Is it going to be about the GSA? What? Yeah, so that's the question facing me now. Hopefully I'll decide at some point. Probably soon. It will most likely be a mixture of a lot of things. I could always make another blog if it feels like I'm talking about too much or something.
