my strange obsession with reading.

Lately, I've been reading a lot and HATING all those books.

I just find it so annoying that all the books written for teenage girls are so... mindless.

They all have the same plot: popular girls who become cheerleaders and get popular boyfriends and spend every hour of the day shopping at some mall, trying to look pretty or trendy or whatever.

None of these girls are shy or klutzy or not-exactly-the-prettiest-looking or imperfect in any way. They're all supermodels, sculpted to perfection. It scares me sometimes.

And what I've noticed is that there aren't any of them from "racial minorities" like me. (although since a lot of people at school are indian, i don't get how i'm in a minority group...)

They're so... unhuman. And unrelatable.

There are some good books though... like Divergent and Insurgent and the Hunger Games series. And some really good books no one's ever heard of, like Seraphina by Rachel Hartman. It's this awesome book about dragons that turn into humans and a musically gifted girl that's half dragon and half human... I happen to like scifi/fantasy books; don't ask why :P

That's why I never go to the teen section at the library. The books suck, and there are a lot of scary high school kids hanging around and reading the sucky books. And I'm just this tall but wimpy seventh grader.

If I write a book, I'll not make it so cliche-ish. Which is why I have to leave right now: to write a book. I have an idea, too. Maybe I'll post a bit later...

i got braces...

and they hurt. Plus, I look like a freak.
I know this is a short post.
Oh no, my computer's gonna explode~

A few hours later...
Haha, yay, I'm writing more.
My computer's just fine. I used my unicorn stalker skills to revive it.
And my braces still hurt. I'd post a pic of me but I don't want y'all stalking me.
So...
I have a really bad case of writer's block.
I don't know what to write next.
Bye~~~~~~~~~~~~ (lol i love those little thingies)

By the way...
SPRING BREAK.
I'm bored.

my "awesome" language arts essay

My teacher was being mean to her fifth period because of some people who were being loud (COUGHCOUGHCOUGH not me) and made us do this essay. Mine's weird. It's exactly 400 words :D


When you have a substitute teacher in school, it is important to be on your best behavior. This is because the substitute probably hasn’t been to Miller Middle School before and might come again if he or she learns about how amazing the kids are here. If we are being loud and disruptive, the substitute teacher might think that all kids here are like that. The next time he or she sees anything Miller-related, he or she will think, “Oh, look, it is Joaquin Miller Middle School. That is where I was the substitute teacher for a fifth period full of hyper, talkative, loud-mouthed kids.” No one would want their school to be associated with something like this, which is why good behavior is essential when dealing with a substitute teacher.
You shouldn’t take advantage of the fact that your favorite teacher isn’t in the classroom to keep a constant watch over you. If you misbehave, your substitute teacher will take a note of it and send it to your normal teacher, who will punish you when he or she returns to school. Remember that the substitute teacher is confused because he or she doesn’t know exactly how your regular teacher runs things. The substitute teacher is doing his or her best to run a classroom, and you have to try and help him or her. Taking advantage of a substitute teacher is just inconsiderate and mean.
Behaving really well can sometimes be very hard. Maybe you just ate too much sugar and are bouncing off the walls. The substitute teacher might pronounce your name wrong, scream way too loud and turn off lights to get attention, act weird, or not run things the way you’re used to. You just might be having a bad day, and want to get some of that horrible feeling out. Don’t treat substitute teachers meanly, though; they sometimes have no idea what they’re doing because it might be their first time substitute teaching.
The next time you feel like taking advantage of a poor, helpless substitute teacher, try to put yourself in his or her point of view. How would you like it if you were stuck in front of a class of hyper students, trying to pound a language arts lesson into their distracted heads? From now on, just try to show some sympathy for substitute teachers by not taking advantage of them.

how to not fail at hurdles (mostly for anchal because we're running in track together)

• Run fast. Really fast.
• Don't jump too high or too low.
• Don't shuffle your steps right before jumping.
• Make sure your starting blocks are the right way. If you use them, that is.
• Stay in your lane. Don't awkwardly stick your foot out to the side.
• Go over the top of the hurdle, not the side.
• Don't look behind you every five seconds.
• If you don't see black, don't attack (don't jump over the wrong side).
• Don't space out and forget when to start running.
• Try not to die in the middle of the race.
• Sprint at the end because there aren't any hurdles there.
• Tie your shoes.
• Most of all, don't fall down. You'll do fine.

issues with band

If the school year wasn't almost done, I'd drop band.
Just like S did.
Because the teacher picks on me. I think she's biased.
I didn't play today, and when I did, it was so soft even I couldn't hear. I almost got a CBR for playing soft.
Before, my teacher used to scream at me for being loud. Well, she can't do that anymore xD
Her favorite kid is this annoying and (slightly) fat dude who acts like he's the only person in the class. And he always has to use my music.
He's the section leader.
Once, I was the only one in my section who was ready
She screamed, "MEERA. Get. Ready. Now. Or else."
And the (slightly) fat section leader was spacing out and the teacher didn't care.
Why do people hate me?

elective night

It was so much fun!
I performed and didn't mess up.
Someone might have squeaked, but other than that it was really good :D
I DIDNT FAIL ON SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION! :D YAYZ
Shuyang and I walked around singing CHOIR songs while wearing BAND uniforms!
I had her flute and she had my drumsticks. She screamed "YEAH I'M A DRUMMER BOW DOWN TO ME!!!"
We saw Annie/Anne of Green Gables/Isa (the same person xD) and these stalkers from the swim team in choir.
We walked in front of them and sang the Bumblebee song (from choir. THEY ALL SAY YOU CANT FLY...) really loud.
I taught Shuyang "Gift to be Simple" (tis the gift to be simple tis the gift to be free... etc) and me and her and Annie were walking around screaming the words in each other's faces.
