you'll always be my thunder

I missed posting on here!
Rainflower is: thinking about all the changes that have happened! Driver's Ed is over, and for all of you who haven't been keeping up, no Driver's Ed=no Thunder =[ which is sad. Yeah. So if I'm being a bitch at school, I guess you guys'll know why...hugs would be appreciated=]

I'm experimenting with layout and stuff...I've added icons on the left and the content will be kinda different...? Someone told me that I should start an "advice column" type thing on here where people can anonymously post their problems and get responses from me. idk. If you want to, go ahead, if you think it's dumb then...whatever. I don't have much news because honestly...I don't remember =]

NEWS
***Ponytail: good news, she is wearing a bra again! Bad news, she does not understand the concept of clean hair. We'll work on this, but I'm glad she made progress! Girl power...?
***I heard some rather disturbing things about me and...let's call him Gum. I mean, just because we have to sit next to each other in one class and we happened to sneeze at the same time does NOT make us soulmates! I don't even like him! He's a weirdo in the worst way! Besides...yaknoww=[
***There were some pretty great shots of Bubbles&Sand from a weekend party<3 smile="]">

***Tramp, you're so fake. The guys see you doing your self-called "cute walk" down the hallways but they don't stop to look...because you're always frowning or extremely pissed at a bunch of people...what can we do to make you change?
***Swing has the creepiest girls in the history of...girls..."going after" her guy. Yeahh umm...if you've seen what they define as "going after" him, you'd be scared too.

***I don't really know what happened between Sweater and Blue...but Flower was definitely ALL OVER SWEATER while they walked to lunch TOGETHER. close. really close. Either Flower is a skank or Sweater is a pimp...?
***Lemon has a crush on cute-boy-from-Logue aka Helmet.
***Hawaii&Note? Where'd they go? Last spotted...no where...
***Shuffle needs a therapist.
***Bread was flirting in the EXTREME today with Monster! She had the whole laughing 'cutely', arm touching, hair stroking, and lip biting thing going...will this work though?
***Ice has a new boyfriend! And this one's a good match for her...they're both tall and extremely smart! Awww.
***(friends: this is what i told you to read in the facebook message i just sent...)I don't even know whether I'm still friends with Carpet anymore. I see her sometimes, and we say "hi" to each other, but we never talk outside of that, and I'm not even in her top friends on Facebook but all of my other friends are...can someone txt me with what's going on? Because I'm planning something and I don't know whether I should let her in it or not. I guess we're just not that close anymore...? idk. I don't want to have her let in on all my secrets if we dont really know each other anymore...

RAINFLOWER
***I found out I could tie a cherry stem with my tongue...what can I say? I've had practice, if you know what I mean=P JKAYY
***My friend from chem's friend from elementary school's friend's best friend's sister is dating NICK JONAS ASFNLEJWGBGLIRWGBA 6 DEGREES OF SEPARATION AGH
***Current favorite song: Thunder by Boys Like Girls. Not just because of that...I've liked this band forever and it's just a really great song. You should download it...or give me your email and I'll send it to you. Here's some of the lyrics:

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

***FYI posting "anonymous" hate comments doesn't mean you're cool, it means you're too scared to say it to my face. I know who you are. Stop it.

QUOTES [from everywhere!]

could've sworn i saw you smile at me
standing in the pouring rain

& I hope the weather holds,
but you don't need the sun to make you shine

Maybe our hearts were just next in line,
& maybe everything breaks sometimes.

when you're down
i may not be able to pick you up
but i promise i'll be laying
down right beside you

There's a big world out there.
Bigger than prom,
bigger than high school,
and it won't matter if you were the prom queen
or the quarterback of the football team
or the biggest nerd.
Find out who you are
and try not to be afraid of it.

run in the rain to get wet, call a friend just
cause you care, smile just cause you
can, & laugh just to make people stare.

if it's cold outside,
show the world the warmth of your smile

she can be young, she can be dumb,
but she has a heart.

I've been hit where it hurts.
Sure guys have balls, but girls have hearts.

Someone once said:
Even though your heart is on the left, it's always right <3

Comments would be greattt=]
(I'll only update again if I get enough comments!)

i'm all over you, i'm not over you

Rainflower is: tired beyond belief!!! AP US History projects=death. I stayed up really late last night doing it...not that it took that long but because I got home super late and I had a bunch of other homework/obligations. So that's why there wasn't an update yesterday.
I changed my mind about Driver's Ed. No matter how great it is during break time, class is so BORING. And I fell asleep today when he was talking=D My teacher did mention a girlfriend today so the gay hypothesis just...died.

-Stuff from today-
***Disregard anything previously said about Shark! I found out that my sources were wrong and there was nothing romantic there!
***Strawberry decided to leave Ninja alone, which I think is better for her, because nothing would've happened except for maybe making their friendship a little awkward
***I am in Tacky's Facebook picture. Yes, it's the picture where my boob looks like it's falling off my chest. Seeds needs to MAKE HER MOVE before things go back to what they were!!! And then they can bond over their love of music and traveling and whatnot.
***Glasses was hit on today during third period by Yellow when she was sitting next to him. He admitted that he doesn't go for sophomore girls though
***Lotion made a wise decision and is now coolly neutral.
***Thunder was sweet again today=] hmmmm
***AP US history nerd love? Koala and Air...pretty interesting...
***I haven't talked to Ponytail lately but I know that things have NOT gotten better=[

-New Predictions!-
***Fire's bash will have an awesome turnout.
***Seeds will finally admit her feelings to Tacky!! [JUST DO IT ALREADY GOSH]

-Random stuff-
***I think all my titles have been song lyrics except for one. I think.
***Fall Sports Awards was fun. Those brownies...my new lover?=]

we'll dance inside the song

Rainflower is: just back from Driver's Eddd=] Mmhmm. I think I'll actually enjoy it from now on instead of being BORED OUT OF MY MIND. I was passing notes today, and I wrote really big on my paper "Why is this so boring? Because he's so GAY!" and then after that I wrote "I really hope he doesn't collect this sheet" (because we were writing all our notes on the back of this weird crossword puzzle) and then right when I finished writing it, the teacher walked by to check all our papers. It was soooo great =]
Rainflower is also: such a trend setter! I think I started a blogging revolution! So many of my friends from school and work and stuff all got blogs! I'm cool like that :) Right before this I was looking at a friend's blog and I was reading it and it was so weird because I thought it was someone else's blog because she changed her layout to the same one the other person had. But they're still ubercute! =]
Rainflower is also also: short on new news today =[ I was too busy doing my homework from the weekend during my classes, so I didn't get to talk to sources or observe people. (So I included a bunch of stuff that seems like news but isn't to make it seem like I have more! Exactly what I do in AP US)

-Stuff from today-
***Heard that Tramp was acting spoiled again. (I'm kind of concerned with my sources because they have proven to be a little off before but if it's really wrong, just IM me or something. I need to know these things =])
***Bubbles&Sand seem to be back on track! Maybe a seat change is required in their sixth period class so they sit next to each other instead of being diagonal for better conversations. SO CUTE!!
***Poor, poor Ponytail. I'll keep you posted because this is such a sad situation. What I would do to give her a makeover...
***I don't think Waves knows what an OPINION is. Can this girl think for herself??? She's so nice but I want to hear what she thinks, not what everyone around her thinks.
***Ice&Mouse=never happen. Even if they would have skinny, tall, insanely smart kids, she's absolutely gorgeous and he resembles his code name. We used to think this was going to happen though during freshman year=P
***Thunder was nice to Rainflower today=] Umm basically I love Driver's Ed...??? Haha.
***Is Fire still alive? *worries*

-Predictions?-
***Tramp and Waves will meet and become BFFs because they complete each other.
***Strawberry will make her move on Ninja.
***Ponytail will be presented with the idea of a nightly shower.

i feel like a hero

Rainflower is: eating tiny Mandarin Oranges--they're sooo addicting! :) Seriously. Sometimes I eat them at Driver's Ed just so people can be like "OMG! I smell citrus! OMG!" (Some of the girls are the biggest ditzs ever. And get scared at the sound of a horn honking.)
Since there's nothing to update on today, I guess I'll use Sundays for some deep-introspective life evaluation crap. idk. It depends. It doesn't have anything to do with anyone so if you are in a gossip-hungry mood it really won't help.

Today's topic: Love and Friendship and Blame. Because isn't that what most people love asking others about? I mean, when you go see a counselor for an emotional problem, they always ask: "Do you have any boy problems? Do you have any girl problems? Is there anyone you would like to talk about?" I was in the eighth grade when I got sent down to the office for being apparently suicidal when I wrote "I'm so sick of it all" (I was as pissed as an eighth grader can get) in my school journal. Those were the exact questions that the principal asked me and that the social worker who I was forced to talk with instead of going to my last period computer class and making 3-D donuts in a CAD program asked me. It's so repetitive, but I guess it gets a lot out of people.
But I don't want to talk about them separately. I'm talking about them as a whole.
As girls, we're all waiting for a guy to come around and totally sweep us off our feet (with the exception of Ponytail. Sorry. I had to add that. =P) Some of us are patiently waiting, while some of us are creepily desperate.
You guys have all read about this guy I call Thunder. If he was to say something like "I'll be your boyfriend, but only if you stop being friends with so-and-so and dedicate odd weekday nights to me" I would probably bitch-slap him and be like "WTF? You ass!" and my opinion of him would go wayyyy down because I'm definitely not that desperate. Besides, there's this thing called Chicks before Dicks, Friends before Lovers. I guess that's always been my personal philosophy (Hakuna Matata =P) ever since I needed it.
That's where friends come in. If you had a boyfriend that was that demanding, what would you do about it? Think of it this way: you don't go through high school to meet your future husband. You go through it to meet your future bridesmaids. Your best friends for LIFE. Missing out on one boyfriend opportunity may seem bad, but not maintaining a close bond with your favorite people is worse.
Then we have guy friends. Some girls I know are afraid to have them, because they think that having them will prevent them from having a real boyfriend. I think that they're thinking of it totally wrong. Having guy friends actually prepares you for a real relationship, because you'll know how to talk to them and what NOT to bring up in a conversation. Plus, they can teach you about other girls' mistakes in past relationships. Other girls I know won't make friends with boys unless they see themselves as a couple sometime in the near future. I also think that that's kind of dumb. You shouldn't see guys as potential boyfriend material but rather just as...people.
Then comes blame. As human beings, it's only natural for us to put the blame on other people whenever we can. But one part of a strong friendship is that when there is a problem, understand that it's not all the other person's fault--each person has something they did wrong. Once you understand that, it'll help problems go away faster or not even let situations escalate into problems. But some people are ALWAYS blamed for problems. I know a girl who people get mad at just because the problem had something to do with her--even if she wasn't a part of it, she would still get the blame. And then there are others who aren't even part of a problem and take the blame anyways because they want their friends to stop fighting. It made me think of something my friend was saying in Chemistry: "Maybe I should just join Logue so the News Editors can dump the blame on me instead of each other!" I don't know. To each her own, I guess.

This is really long. My DBQs for APUSH are never this longgg!!
Haha. over&OUT

(p.s. this isnt proofread yet. g2g to workkk)

i don't wanna miss a thing

(I'm gonna do this the Facebook way now.)
Rainflower is: going shopping with her little sister soon! This hasn't happened in such a long time that even the weird Canadian people over can't make me angry...
So yesterday after I came home from school (sadly, no strike) I was tired as heck and so I fell asleep on the couch at like...4 o'clock and when I woke up, it was this morning. There wasn't much to update yesterday though so today's post is extra short...I think.
Have you ever gotten the feeling where you just want to get away from it all for a bit? Where you don't even have to do with any of the drama at school, home, or just between your friends? I honestly hope that I'm not the only one. But things are looking better already and hopefully by the next week it'll be all cleared out.
To all of my friends: I know that this past week hasn't been the greatest. We're all going through something different, but if you ever need anyone to talk to, know that I'm always here and anything we talk about will NOT be posted on here or shared with other friends.

-Stuff from Friday!-
***If someone didn't ask you to help solve their problems, don't go ahead and do it for them. Because chances are they would rather do it themselves, and you might say something wrong.
***Apparently the couple brought up that day was Apple&Sand...? Bubbles&Sand are still cuter. And more likely to happen ;)
***Tacky joined the group "Cuddlers Anonymous" on Facebook. I'm scarred for life. I think of him cuddling and I taste puke. But Seeds is also in that group, so maybe...yaknow??
***Talked to Pumps and Sharpie during class. Pumps can't decide between Glasses and Monster because they're both so cute. This reminds me of that song "4 Mots Sur un Piano." Except it's in French. And in the song both guys are in love with the girl. Just kidding.
***Ponytail has reverted back to her OLD SELF?? NO MORE BRAS?
***Cookies is such a nice person at heart. Why is it that she always has to deal with so much crap?
***After math class, Ninja was seen laughing with Umbrella. Wow, he's popular with girls.
***Number of days until Rainflower gets to talk to Thunder again: 2!

-New predictions-
***Rainflower will talk to Eraser at some kind of social gathering. We have no classes together so we barely see each other!
***Ponytail's parents will be upset because of the fact that their daughter is a son.
***Tacky and Seeds...since they are already getting closer, something will happen between them at SYSO.

I used a lot of question marks today.
Comments would be lovely! (you can leave one even if you don't have Blogger/Gmail)
