SOOOOOO... interesting couple of weeks
I got sick last sunday i think and I feel like crap
it's just like been getting worse I think.... I hate this....
Anyways I went to school for two days I went yerstady but I was feeling especially shitty
on that day. My second to last class was drama and my teacher is
pretty cool and he like lets us listen to our i-pods n' stuff
me and my friends were working on a group project and I had
just finished choreographing a dance for the project so I was like slumped on the side of the
stage all like :icon=de-mote: and everyone's like WTF is wrong with you Alicia
because usually I'm busy running around the room pretending I'm an airplane
or something like that. Then the stage got to hot so I went back into
the classroom to cool off. But then the classroom got to hot
so I went back to the theatre
Honestly, it was pretty pathetic, I was running inbetween rooms with
a cold water bottle presseed to my face whimpering like an idiot
it sucked. After a while I got tired of doing that so I just
layed down on the floor and coughed up my internal organs for a while
after about fifteen minutes of this my teachers all like STFU PLEASE!!!!!
so that's what I looked like and my teachers like
then he stormed off and left me there coughing
then he came back and I like feel asleep or something, because the next thing I knew
my teacher had shoved two lollipops in my mouth so that I would like finally shut up
then I started rolling around on the floor becuz I felt gross. So after that I went home and I stayed home all day today. My mom woke me up at 1:00 today! I slept a lot
my parents think that the reason I am sick is becuz since i got to sleep at like 12:00 every night
they think that my immune system is all FAIL and stuff.... psh..... whatevs I just don't like being sick. if this journal doesn't make sense it's cuz when I get sick my brain doesnt work very good.
ALSO!!! I was on youtube the other day and if you guys no me well enough you should know that I am the clumzy human version of Alice right?
well I was on youtube and I found Alice's official like theme song thing and it was perfect for me too! so I looked like that it is such a cool song!!! it is especially awesome since it is the soundtrack of my life and perfectly describes me! XD Okay I'm gonna go cough for a little bit... FEEL FREE TO MAKE ME GET WELL GIFTS/STORIES cuz I am lyk SUPER bored right now.....
U know you love me!
