The title of this post is exactly what I yelled at the TV tonight when Brooke White was voted off of American Idol. I can't believe she's gone. :( I loved her! She was a good singer and she was soooo nice, she had one of the best personalities. She and the two Davids are my favorites. Now I will say that I do think that the Davids are stronger vocalists than she is, so one of them should win. But it is soooo unfair that Brooke went and Jason is STILL in the competition! I mean, how ridiculous can it get? Again, nothing against Jason personally, and I don't blame him for what happened. But I do blame all of these fangirls who only vote for him because they think he's cute! I'm sorry, but he's got to go next week. There is NO way that he should beat Syesha and the Davids. But seriously, I'm so sad. :( I felt so bad for Brooke, she was so upset! I voted for her a bunch of times last night to try to keep her in, but sadly, it didn't work. :( Well, at least we might go to one of the concerts this summer when the top 10 idols go on tour, so I'll get to see her then, and also I'd get to see my other favorites, the Davids and Michael Johns (who also should NEVER have gone before Jason!). I love you Brooke!!!! lol.
Well, everything at school is going okay. Unfortunately, we are starting our research paper this week. Gah! I really don't like research papers. But, who does? lol. I just try to think of how school will be over in less than three weeks and I'll be free! lol.

Omg...even more craziness at school! lol. Well, let me just say, the people who run the bus system here are a bit...clueless I think is the word I'm looking for. First of all, we only have two sub drivers for the whole school system, and many of our regular drivers call in "sick" quite frequently. So, half the time we have about 5 drivers absent and we aren't able to get any sub drivers since they've already taken jobs at other schools. So, lots of buses end up having to double up and take another group of kids home. Luckily, there are hardly any people who ride my bus, so whenever we have to double up it's still not very crowded. However, last year at my middle school my bus unfortunately was not very small, and I have some not-so-fond memories of being packed like a sardine on some bus with about 80 people on it. One time a kid even had to sit in the aisle because all of the seats were taken (not to mention we had 3 people to every seat). Ugh. I just felt like getting that off my chest. Stupid bus people. lol. But anyway, back to what happened today. Well, my regular bus driver is actually pretty committed to her job and doesn't not show up just for the heck of it. But, now she has to get major surgery and is going to be gone for 3 weeks! It'll almost be the end of school by the time she comes back. But anyway, they organized it so that one bus will pick us up every morning, and then a different one will take us home in the afternoon. Well, unfortunately, this morning was the first day that my driver was gone and the other bus was supposed to pick us up, and apparently the driver of that bus, Mr. Trotti, forgot that he was supposed to come get us, and this became very apparent when I was still standing at the bus stop at 8:00 (school starts at 8:15). But finally, at about 8:05 or so, this other bus pulled into my neighborhood and got me. The lady driving (who happens to be Mr. Trotti's wife- she's a sub driver) said that he forgot to come get us. By that time, everyone on my bus had given up and gotten a ride to school except for me and one guy. So it was just the two of us, and when we finally got to school, Mr. Wilson (the assistant principal) was giving Mr. Trotti quite a lecture. We were really late, but luckily Mr. Wilson gave us late bus passes. So it was 8:30 at this point. I went down to health, which is my first class, only to find that my class wasn't there. I figured they must have either gone to the library or the AV room. I went up to the office to double check, and they said that the health classes were in the AV room (we go there once a week to listen to a presentation by the police officer). So, I ended up being even later! I finally did get down to the AV room, and that was quite embarrassing having to walk in there in front of about 50 or 60 people (both health classes meet in there). I quickly found my friend Shaun and sat down. We couldn't say anything since the officer was talking, but I held up my late bus pass and we both just rolled our eyes. We both have been victims of the idiotic bus system before. Well, actually everyone probably has. lol. But, hopefully Mr. Trotti has everything figured out now and will come to pick us up tomorrow!

Wow...well, yesterday was quite an eventful day at school. From broken shoes to tornado warnings, it sure wasn't dull. But let me start at the beginning.
Well, I was sitting in Spanish class, conjugating verbs into the imperfect past tense, when suddenly, the thing between my toes on one of my flip flops popped right out. There was no way for me to fix it, and as much as I didn't want to go down to the front office and tell them I have to call my mom because one of my shoes broke, I figured that was what I'd have to do. But of course, this happened right as the bell was about to ring to dismiss us for lunch, and I knew that if I went up there now, I'd miss lunch. So somehow, I was going to have to walk all the way to the cafeteria with a broken shoe and wait to go to the office afterwards. So, I tried my best to make my way down the hall (I'm sure that looked pretty comical, considering I had to drag one of my feet along the ground). But eventually I ended up getting behind everyone else and it took me a good 5-10 minutes to get to the cafeteria. When I finally did get there, a janitor noticed my shoe and asked me about it. He told me to go up to the office to call someone so they could bring me another pair of shoes. I asked him if I would still be able to eat if I did that, so then he called over Mr. Wilson, one of the assistant principals to ask him if he'd let me just come to the last lunch (luckily I have 3rd lunch, which is the second to last lunch period). So Mr. Wilson told me to go ahead and go to the office to call home, and told me to stop by his office afterwards to get a pass so I could just go to 4th lunch instead. So, again, I got to walk through the halls dragging my foot along the ground, but luckily I didn't pass very many people since classes were going on. I suppose I could have just taken my shoe off and gotten there way faster, but that would have looked weird too, and besides, I didn't really like the idea of having my foot touch that floor that thousands of people have walked on over the years. So, I finally did get up to the office and I called my mom, and she brought me another pair of shoes. So then, I went back to Mr. Wilson's office and he called my Spanish teacher and told her I would be going to 4th lunch. So, I did get to miss the rest of Spanish class. lol.
And, throughout that day, it had been looking extremely dark and gloomy outside. We knew we were probably in for some storms. Things got a bit more extreme than that, however. We had just barely gotten to 4th block, the last class of the day. I was in English class, and my teacher had just passed out our vocabulary quizzes, when suddenly, someone in my class said that they thought they heard the tornado sirens going off. My teacher opened the window, and sure enough, they were going off. Then our principal came on the intercom and said that we were in a tornado warning and he told us to all go to our assigned areas for tornado drills. My school is really not a safe place to be during a tornado, considering it is busting at the seams with over 2,000 students, which is over the capacity that the building can hold. Not only that, but we have to cram everyone on the first floor of the building, and not everyone even fits in the hallways, so some people have to stay in classrooms and sit up against the wall. My class had to sit in a classroom. Our classroom was pretty small, but at least we got to go into another classroom that was bigger. No one was really worried or anything, since every time the sirens have gone off here, nothing bad has happened. The last time we had a destructive tornado here was years ago, probably before any of us were born. But, we still had to stay in the classroom until the warning was over. We ended up sitting there for almost the entire block, so it was almost an hour and a half. That was really not pleasant, considering it was quite boring to just sit there. People were talking and stuff, but I didn't really know anyone in there, so I just sat there the whole time. And, lucky for me (that's sarcasm just so you know), these two guys who were sitting right next to me decided it would be fun to pull out their iPods and sing along to their obscene rap music as loud as they could. But thankfully, about 3 minutes before we were supposed to get out of school, they went ahead and dismissed us since things were clearing up. So yeah, that was quite a day. Luckily everything did clear up, and by about 5:00, the sun was back out. So we still ended up having our musical at my school that evening. My parents and I decided to go and see it even though I didn't really know anyone in it. It was pretty good, and I was amazed at how well some of these people acted and sang.
Well, I guess that's all for now. Later. :)

Nooooo! Michael Johns has been voted off of American Idol. :( I am so sad, and I feel guilty for not voting. But I guess one person wouldn't have really made a difference anyway. But omg, I can't believe he's gone and Jason Castro is still there. I have nothing against Jason Castro, but seriously, if you compare the two it's obvious who has the stronger voice. Jason, unfortunately, is one of those guys who beats some of the really good singers because of all the girls going all ga-ga over his looks. It seems like Amrican Idol has someone like that every year. But personally, I think Michael is better-looking anyhow. :P Again, I have nothing against Jason, I just can't understand how Michael should have been the one to go. Oh well. I guess I better start voting for David Archuleta, my other favorite. And, since Michael has such a good voice, I'm sure he'll still end up getting a record deal, and he'll still get to go on the Idol tour this summer.

Guess what? I now have Dakota Fanning's autograph! lol. No, I did not meet her or anything (that would be pretty cool though. lol). But in my business tech class, we all had this assignment to write a business letter to a celebrity last month, so I wrote to her. So I ended up being the first person to get something back! We get bonus points if our person writes back, and double bonus points if they send something for our teacher. Well, thanks to Dakota, I get double bonus points for that class since she gave both me and my teacher a signed picture. It's pretty awesome. :P We had to ask them what they think about computers (lol, I thought that was kind of weird). So Dakota wrote on the picture, "To Hannah, Computers ROCK! Peace and happiness! Love, Dakota Fanning". So yeah, it's really cool. :P
And, coincidentally, Dakota's little sister Elle's birthday is in two days! A lot of people aren't familiar with Elle, because Dakota has starred in a lot of major movies, but Elle mostly does independent films and guest spots on TV shows. But I recommend watching Elle's movies and shows too, because she is very talented just like her sister! And they are both so nice. :D But anyway, yeah, Elle is turning 10 in two days so I'll go ahead and wish her happy birthday now.

I just came across this video clip and I thought I'd share. It's about Dakota Fanning and how far she's come, and it talks some about the movies she has coming out in the future. You can see it here: http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1584008&vid=218418
Well, I've got the most shocking news about my admirer, Jared. I kind of guessed in the beginning that he wasn't exactly a goody-goody, but you won't believe what I found out yesterday. He was talking to me and two other people in my class, and he said that he was in jail for three months last summer. The other girl he was talking to asked him what he did, and he said he stole a car!!! And I thought to myself, "omg, there is noooooo way I am going to date an ex-convict!" I mean, I wasn't even considering dating him before, but I know for sure that there is absolutely no way I'm dating a car thief! I'd take Shaun over a car thief any day. :) But yeah, I suppose I have a really good excuse to not date him now, all I have to say is that I'm not allowed to date someone with a criminal record. haha. But still, I can't believe I got asked out by a criminal! Scary.
Well, not much else has been going on. Today I went to dance and I'm getting ready to watch the American Idol results show that's coming on in about 40 minutes. I don't know who will be getting voted off, but it better not be David Archuletta or Michael Johns. They're my favorites. lol. But they're both really popular so I think we can be pretty sure they're safe. :)
And tomorrow, my grandparents and my mom's aunt and uncle are coming! They pick the most random times to come down here and visit, but we're still happy that they're able to come! At least they'll be here over the weekend so I won't be in school all the time that they're here.
Well, guess that's all for now. Later!

Yay! I'm finally on spring break. :) So far I've had lots of fun already. :) My brother came home from college last night, so he's here now. This morning I had a doctor's appointment, because my doctor's office closed and I had to get a new one, so today I went to get signed up and everything, and the doctor asked me questions and stuff. And I found out something amazing- I have apparently grown an inch! You know how before they take you back to the room, they check your weight and height? Well, that's what they did, and the lady said I was 5'1"! I thought I was going to be stuck at 5 feet forever. lol.
Then later, I went shopping with my friend. Her sister and her friend, who are in 6th grade, also came. We had a lot of fun, and luckily the mall wasn't crowded- there's nothing I hate more than trying to walk through an overcrowded mall. But anyway, I bought two shirts. Here are the two that I bought, if you care to see. lol

(I got this one in the navy blue color- I absolutely loved this one- it's sooo pretty!)
http://www.limitedtoo.com/detail/3132746 (I bought this one in the black stripes)
I told my mom that I am officially done shopping for clothes for this season though, since I've looked in all the stores that I like and seen everything. lol.
Oh, and of course I have to give you the update on Jared! haha. Well, after Tuesday, which was the day he asked me to date him, everything finally sank in and I don't feel so shocked anymore like I did when I wrote my last post. Well anyway, I did tell him that my parents are really strict and they still won't let me date, so that at least settles it for now. On Wednesday he kept harassing me about when we were going to be able to date, but I just kept telling him I didn't know, and by Thursday he finally let it go. lol. My mom says she thinks he's a little too aggressive because he kept asking me when we were going to be able to date! I kind of agree, and I think it's kind of weird how he's so determined to date me and he doesn't even really know me! lol. Oh well. At least I don't have to worry about anything anymore, at least for now.
