DIY Ms.Monroe

Ok, So The other night I was really bored. 
So I did the logical thing, and decided to pierce something.
I'm no expert by any means, but I know enough to not end up in the hospital with an oozing mass of infected flesh hanging from my face.
So I went and found the biggest safety pin I could find, and jabbed it through my upper lip, took it out, then replaced it with a stud.
 

:D took less than a minute, and didn't cost me a thing.

Don't have the means to have a Monroe professionally done?
well then follow these simple steps to get a ghetto piercing :P

1. make sure your piercing utensil has been properly sanitized (boiled in hot water, rubbing alcohol) MAKE SURE HANDS ARE WASHED AND AREA IS CLEAN -you do not want to risk infection
2. make sure you have something to place in the pierced hole (labret, or ear stud)
3. You might want to take a pain killer beforehand (ibuprofen, etc)
Place Ice on the area to numb the skin/muscle/nerves for about a minute
4. Hold your lip tight and flat (this will help make sure you pierce through straight, the straighter your hole, the easier it will be to put the labret in)
- it hurts less to pierce from the inside out, but you can get a straighter, more accurate pierce going from the outside in.
5. When you get the safety pin in, you might want to ice it again
6. pull the pin out (this hurt >.<) and quickly insert the labret/stud within 10 minutes, because these holes tend to close up quickly
7. Insert the labret from the inside (duh) or, if you're using an earring, from the outside
-it may be difficult to insert it, if you let go of your lip, because you have all that mushy lip muscle to go through, so that's why it might help to keep your lips help tight between two fingers while grabbing the labret.
8. Take the top of the labret, and screw it on.
9. you want to disinfect your hands after this. and don't eat anything for 3 hours

Care:
use a light mouthwash/ brush after eating
use a disinfectant solution such as "Studex" (highly suggest) twice a day, on the area - or Neosporen, to reduce the risk of infection
If the area starts to swell, take some ibuprofen, and apply ice
There should be some clear discharge from the piercing, this is normal, like any piercing. If it turns green, or some other godforsaken color, it's probably infected, and you should consult a doctor.

Pirates V.S Ninjas/ Orchestra Palooza

So since I don't really have any premeditated topic this evening, these will just be more of my random ramblings, so please, just bear with me.

We officially have only five more days of school left this year.
Wow,  this school year has gone by so fast. Perhaps its just because I've only spent a semester @ this school [and the rest at some crazy reform institution] but still...... Dec- May has flown by so fast, its remarkable.
I still think that South High School is the lamest school ever, with a retarded choice of mascot, and school colours; but it's probably where I'm going to be spending the next three years, so I guess it will do.

I really have no foreseeable plans for this summer.
Most of the usual crowd I associate with are going out of town. *cough* China,*cough*  or what not.

Well, So Continuing my ramblings from last night, [Still have not thought of an interesting topic yet, please excuse me] Today is the last day, of the 2nd to last week of school :D [insert huge grin here]

Currently, i am sitting in my computer graphics class, in which I am supposed to be recreating an M&M's bag, down to the very last crease, in it's tiny little foil. I gave up, and instead, created a lovely picture showing the epic battle of a Pirate fighting a Ninja.

Ahhhhh The beauty of Creation.

So Anyway.

We just recently had our 'END OF THE YEAR ORCHESTRA CONCERT-PALOOZA EXTRAVAGANZA'

signifying that I No longer have to play with a class of students that care for the violin as much as a monkey, until August, when I get to deal with an entire new class of incoming freshmen....that probably can't play any better than than the afore mentioned monkey.

My teacher claimed that she was going to teach me how to play the Stringed bass, [part of me just wants to play it so I don't have to sit in a section surrounded with the stupid freshmen] but, she never got around to it....Summer?

And here I am rambling, I really have no idea what topic I'm talking about right now.

You would hate it in my head.

It's like that one dog from the movie UP "Squirrel!" ......"like I was saying----Squirrel!"

"oooohh look something shiny"

Arg.

Mylifeisaverage.com

Best website Ever.

People look at me awkwardly when ever I open it up in my browser though.

They're like, really? Your life is so boring, that the first thing you do when you go on the Internet, is go to a web page where you read about how average peoples lives are?

Wow, you're lame.

YES :D I am.

Ugh, There is still like 45 minutes of class left. Why does the school district find it necessary to make classes 90 minutes long?

Do they really think that it will help students learn more? Be more productivee?

Do they not realize that the average student has the attention span of a goldfish....[3 seconds]

and that being confined to the same room for and hour 1/3 can drive them mad?!

No wonder they act out, it should be expected. Teachers are bringing it upon themselves, making students stay in their little [uncomfortable, hard, small, ugly] desks the entire period, and expect them not to: talk, get up, breath, etc.

The 90min period is especially ridiculous for classes such as: Gym [mainly why I 'take a pleasantly long walk and/or drink break' around half way through, US History, English, Science [of any kind], MATH, i.e any class that's unbearably boring, or that 'teaches' stuff that you will NEVER use in your daily life --trust me, I never plan to take an  occupation in which I will use a2 + b2 = c2, or background knowledge of the Cold War.

Well. I do believe I am going to end this now, and start on a blog that will actually go somewhere, and have meaning? or at least a subject.

TortureCanyonSchool

A year ago From Today (May-15-2010)
I was sent to a Place by the name of Provo Canyon School
My parents of-course were GREATLY misinformed of his Place.
The Website, giving them a false impression that it was a 'fix-all' for their ''troubled teen''
That it could magically transform their 'rebellious' teenager into the 'perfect' teenager they wanted overnight.
http://www.provocanyon.com/ Filled with false pictures, And other false propaganda, to trick parents into sending their teens there
''Our caring professionals operate in a unique environment which helps make a positive difference in a teenager’s life.''
Theres a Bullshit Video --->
 
Here's the full one , if you ever feel the need to watch it--->  http://www.provocanyon.com/Welcomevideo.html 
 That literally makes me want to vomit it is so full of lies. Besides the fact that it was probably made sometime in the late 70's. No wonder my parents were so set on sending me to this place, They were pumped so full of this BULLSHIT. They believed this? But what they didn't know, was what actually took place behind the walls of what was supposedly ''the largest and most experienced treatment facility for youth''
http://www.torturecanyonschool.com/ <-------- This site contains only a few of the many testimonials of What happened weekly, daily, 24/7 at PCS.
That place was a ''Mormon Concentration Camp'' to say the least.
Residents were stripped away of their identities and were given a number to be adressed by.
For the entire extent of my stay, I was only adressed by #396
They wrote and engraved the number onto all of my personal belongings, and even now, when I find something with that number, e.g sock etc, I'm overwhelmed with flashbacks of that place.

It was the worst experience of my life.

My First Night There. May-15th-2010.
I was Restrained and Sedated. What kind of 1st impression is that?
Every day, every hour  there was always a girl being ''Dial 9-ed" (PCS Code for-'All the staff in the area jump on the nearest girl that may look like shes in emotional distress)

"We offer students the opportunity to work toward
their full potential through a supportive academic environment that includes positive
incentives for good grades"
That was impossible With girls always trying to shank each-other during class. And having adults, not even licensed as teachers, teaching the classes.
"the subjects taught include Ceramics, Sculpture, Drawing, Painting, Art Foundations 1 and 2, Commercial Art and Design, and Interior Design. "
...............Since When?
"The youth are Provo Canyon Schools greatest asset"
Don't Make Me Laugh
"Provo Canyon School operates independent boys and girls programs on separate campuses with opportunities for supervised interaction"
I got to see Male Humans maybe once in my lifetime???
OHHHHH and then this is the best part
The photo gallery :D
The fake photos they have of the Campus on the website. Sure, the outside is the real thing, but the inside, They show a completely DIFFERENT BUILDING. like WTF WHERES OUR POOL?

Girls Campus X( (notice how they have the mountains in the background, to give the impression that we receive plenty of fresh mountain air)

Not Included

Also not included....rip off

A picture to show the 'diversity' in our classrooms, and our love for learning, i mean, look how eagerly they're raising their hands :D

WTF....THERE ARE NO COMPUTERS

also not accurate, we all have conformist hideous orange bedspreads :l

OKAY, FOR ONCE the ugly cafeteria is ACCURATE we did have those terrible blue plastic tables

ok. so yeah, i don't really know the point of this post, other to inform? or rant? Maybe it's just a sentimental thing, it being a year since I was sent to this godforsaken place, and I want someway to celebrate my freedom. I mean, a year ago from now, I was spending the night in a small cement cell-type-thing. Half naked, drugged out of my mind. And now here I am. On face-book, eating ramen, in my house.
I'm happy where I'm at.
My life may not be perfect, but it's much better here, then it was there.
I spent seven months in that hell hole.
And I'm glad to say that the specific campus i was at, has been shut down (or so I've heard through contact with residents still in the program)
But programs like that still exists. And no ones doing anything about It.
There is a foundation called HEAL, that was in the process of suing PCS, but, then they just went right back and sued them.
So there's really noone out there helping these kids that are stuck in these terrible situations.
Not even their own parents.
Heck, When i tried telling my parents what were going on (I wasn't allowed to contact them for two weeks until after it happened) they just said, "that's a really nice story, maybe you can write your own book when you get out." THANKS FOR HELPING MOM AND DAD :D XO
so There  really isn't anything [we] can do, but to inform potential victims, and their parents, to NOT send their teens here. it will not help your dire family's troubles. Just give the kid some cash, an ipod, and he/she will be good until they turn 18 and out of your life. 
There is no need to resort to sending them to a place where they will be scarred for possibly THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.

I am wasting your time/ Johnny Depp is a Douche

Its true.
This blog post today has no relevant significance to any certain topic.
So i completely understand if you just stop reading right now.
It's your choice. Proceed with caution: This may contain nothing but boring material from my daily life and my random thoughts ----->
Right now i am sitting here in what they call ELO at my school
Its a study period used for students to catch up on missing assignments, and to get caught up in their school work.
The disciplinary challenged and failing students have ELO
_______________________________
the fire alarm is currently going off ttyl
wow... that was the lamest drill in my life.
i just stood outside for like two minutes. trying to locate my friend via text message. standing in the wind, in my pajama bottoms (because i claimed today unofficial pajama day)
________________________________________________________________
Well since i was so rudely interrupted
back to what i was saying.
The students that are failing, or that have missing assignments have ELO, the good kids, have Study hall. I have ELO, because my teacher is a bias bitch and refuses to enter any of my work into the grade book (yet i still happen to somehow maintain an A) and so I have her ELO every week. So i just sit here and type on my blog, while i suppose i could be working on something a little more productive, but no i shall do this instead, just typing the first words that come to my head. because i can! :D [ insert creepy face here ]
So i guess since a blog is like an 'online diary' i could just do the normal douchey thing that some people do and describe all my normal daily happenings in chromatic order, minute by minute. i.e
12:01 am Sleeping
12:0.2 am Sleeping
12:03 am Sleeping
but you see, That only works with famous people like Johnny Depp, people only would want to read about famous people like Johnny Depp's' sleeping patters.
So i will only describe to you the only some-what mildly interesting high-lights of my day, or the small fraction of my day (considering it's only 11:06 am)
_____________________________________________________
Well, today is unofficial pajama day - considering that I'm just extremely lazy and just didn't want to get dressed this-morning, so i just text-ed my friend (same one that i was attempting to text earlier) and got her to wear her pajamas also, so i wouldn't look like a complete loser, and to look as tho i actually had a purpose to be wearing my pajamas.
so that people would be all like
"hey, look at those girls! with those awesome pajama bottoms [ insert looks of awe ]"
"It totally doesn't look like they just wore them out of sheer laziness"
"Of course not! They look so stylish ;D"
"Especially with the betty boop, and is that perry the platypus?"

Well, it didn't exactly go like that. People haven't really commented. To my face at least. Yeah.
soooooo
Last week, my amazing comrade and I went to the mall, and purchased some epic giant Jawbreakers. They are about the size of your head! well, not quite. But they're too large to fit inside of the average jaw. So we must carefully hold them in our palms and lick away at the deliciousness. Mine is blue, so i ofcouse had a blue tongue for the rest of the morning after tonguing away at it.

I have Gym 1st Period on a B Day. Which Thursdays  just so happens to be (Today is Thursday) I have had Gym first hour every year since seventh grade.....that is so depressing. I think it's a Karma thing. Like, perhaps i ate babies in a past life, and now I'm being punished for it by having to suffer through gym first hour every year of my life until i graduate :'(
Well, anyway. I just-so-happen to be the only female in my gym class, not so lucky. My gym class is retarded, to say the least. There are only a few people who are actually decent in there. (INCLUDING UNICORN BOY, mentioned in previous blog.)
today we had to run a mile around the track. We had a sub. No one ran. I listened to my ipod, and text ed. And made a lovely 20minute mile :D walking in my solitude
Second hour, I have my "Geometry class"
It isn't really considered a class. It's labeled as a 'release period' on my schedule, yet i still have to go sit in a classroom, and do work on the computer on math subjects. It's terrible. I can basically comprehend basic math, with a teacher present, let alone do geometry as an independent study D:
So after retaking the same test for the 3rd time (stupid program makes you keep taking each assignment and won't let you move on until you at least get a 80%) , I just finally give up and go on MLIA for the rest of the period. :D
Then. I go to ELO. In which i start typing this. During ELO, The alarm goes off, for god know why. My teachers is concerned that i don't stop typing while the alarm is blaring. ^^^ (Refer to top of page, as i blog about how the alarm is going off)
After ELO I go to lunch with my fellow pajama wearing comrade and other great peoples. I eat my amazing jawbreaker. It turned my tongue blue :P [blue tongue] My friend grabbed the top of it, the part which i was licking..... yeah
And now I am sitting here in my computer graphics class. I just started creating a lovely wine glass. And should probably be doing my work,  but i would so much rather be doing this, and considering the bell is going to be ringing in five minutes, i don't really find that much of a priority right now.
I have orchestra next hour. The last hour of the day. I fairly like that class. The people in it are great. I enjoy playing the violin? The teacher is alright.
We spent Monday and Tuesday roaming the halls of our rival schools just so that we could be judged at our violin playing, and today we should get our scores. The class did terrible, only half the class showed up, and one kid wore a neon yellow shirt (our uniform is black (girls dresses resemble wizard robes))  And bluntly, only about 3/4 of the class can actually play decently.
Me and my fellow violinst played an epic violin duet by Mozart, called 'Duet' Is that not the most amazing name?
___________________________________________________________________________
FYI the "M" Key on this school laptop sticks. So just for the record, even though i do have poor tying skills, and bad spelling, if there are some missing 'm's that is probably why.
__________________________________________________________________________
Well, Last hour of the day went Great (It is now Friday and i just thought that i would conclude this post)
We watched this amazing video/concert, featuring musical group 'bowfire'
------> http://www.bowfire.com/
it was pretty great.
We also got our Orchestra Festival scores back.
As a group, we didn't do as terribly as I predicted, but we didn't do that phenomenal.
BUT I AM COMPLETELY ENRAGED AS TO WHAT WE WERE GIVEN FOR THE DUET.
sure, I don't want to sound big-headed, but me and my fellow violinist are quite decent players (we have always at least gotten a ranking of a I-Superior) but this time, we were the only ones to get judged by the 'mean' judge, who apparently judged us at a college level, and ranked us at an abominable level. So outrageous that i can't even post it!
I proceeded in taping the little 'complementary' certificate that they give you for participating in the Festival, above the water-fountain (containing my name, and the crossed out ranking (now containing a "SUPERIOR :D)) In protest.
________________________________________
Then, Since It was a Thursday, Like every Thursday, I stayed after school until 7.
7am-7pm. sounds fun isn't it? spending and entire half of a day at school.
The reason being because I have yet another orchestra practice at 6......
sure, i could just go home, and get a ride back to the school like a normal person.
But no, then i would miss out on all the fun experiences that happen at school once its dismissed.
The loitering off the hallways, etc.
For the majority of the time waiting, me and my two fellow students waited in the secluded harp room, (We have dubbed the Harp 'Hippo') Listening to music, And continuing to tongue our ginormous Jaw-breakers. I have now managed to get through three layers :D it is starting to turn white.
Then I retired to sleeping inside of the harp-case for a while (quite warm and comfortable. I should suggest making sleeping bags of such material)
THEN, My friend decided to steal Sparkles, My unicorn,  and i chased hi throughout the desserted school hallways, in socks, which doesn't really work (running in tiled floors in socks that is.) I almost died.
We somehow ended outside where one of my other friends showed up, and convinced me to walk with her around the track, where they were hosting a track-meet.
Track meets bore me.
Sports in general bore me.
I find them conforming.
Tiring.
And pointless.
That is why I am somewhat happy I am the only female in my Gym class, It requires much less participation on my part in team sports (With them hogging the ball and such.)
So we walked the track for a while,  with me pretending i don't know her ( she has picked up an odd habit of jiggling her boobs in public places) we returned to the school just in time for practice to start\
_____________________________________________________________-
This extracurricular orchestra group is called the (CYS) Cheyenne Youth Symphony
because we are from Cheyenne, Wyoming. We are more-or-less youth. And we are a symphony.... so the name is quite fitting.
---------> www.myspace.com/cheyenneyouthsymphony
It's composed of Jr.High and High school Students that appreciate the art of stringed music...or something along those lines.
I've been a member since I was in like 6th grade, And this is my last year I can be a part of it, because of age'n shit. Stupid policy :/

wow, i am such a bad procrastinator.
Here i am, sitting in English, like a week and a day later, than when i started this post. and it still isn't even posted. yeah..... >.>
this is the same thing that happens with my mail.
like, sure, when i receive a letter, I'll reply right away, I'll keep adding, and adding to the letter, but then it will just sit there for like a month. even though my mail box is like five steps away...right outside my door.
Procrastination is a wonderful thing :D

yeah. sure.
i think i shall post this now. and just start a new post, or actually do my English assignment... or not
