I'm so proud! I got a comment! Thank you, whoever you are (Sorry, I still haven't quite figured out how to check the comments properly).
Today was better, but still a little hard. Mostly because in both English and French we have received projects involving writing a story with a partner. Personally speaking, I very much prefer writing alone. The English project is not so bad, because I am working with Charlotte (who also has aspirations to be�a writer) and we work well together--when we're not laughing hysterically over something that no one but us understands. We are managing to turn out a pretty decent Balcony scene (Romeo and Juliet, comtemporary style. It is basically a competition to see who can make the least clich�d one. Some people have gotten the idea, and others... are straight from whatever shows the girls watch).�The French project.... is not going along so well. My partner Talia continues to claim that she "doesn't read. Seriously, Annabel, I have NO ideas." It is just about the most frustrating thing that can possibly be inflicted upon me: being saddled with a partner who's just there for the ride and having one of the "smart kids" (as I am unhappily known as. As in, I wish I weren't known as that.) do the work for them. I really don't mind Talia as a person, but honestly, it is completely infuriating to have to do ALL the work. She gets mad at ME because I made the mistake of saying, "Oh, wait, I�have an idea--" and then saying that I didn't like it. She�flipped out, and began to complain that I was being annoying. I have actually written and come up with the ideas for EVERYTHING.
Sigh. I will stop complaining. Right...... now. *blinks*...... Ok. That didn't work. I seriously want to, but whining won't get me anywhere right now. I will stop. Or at least do it very, very quietly. Ahaha. Tiny writing. It takes very little to amuse me. Just ask Char or Mara.
I must go now, because I have to help with supper and my piano teacher should be coming tonight, so I have to boly my food.
Recommendation: How about some classical? (My piano teacher would love me�) Hmm. This is a pretty well-known one, so you shouldn't have trouble finding a clip of it. The Four Seasons, by Vivaldi. Particularly Spring. I love them.
I must away.
~Annabel
敦敦的第一首歌
�
���由春入夏之际, 孩子从身体到情感都是最敏感的阶段, 记得小时候, 每到这个季节, 皮肤,关节和肌肉都发痒,内气上提,走起路来都轻飘飘的。借着这柳树抽条的感觉, 敦敦完成了他的第一支歌的词曲创作. 昨晚睡觉前他请求我们听完一遍他的歌。敦爹郑重地录下了儿子的这首处女作。
Let the time slowly pass
Let the time slowly pass,
don’t let it go away so fast,
sometimes I felt the time dash by,
I like it slow don’t ask me why,
so live life slowly,
cause it’s the only
time that you and me,
will have.
���这首歌是孩子对时间的一种十分独特的感受,他感到在日常的忙碌的生活中时间流逝得很快,他试图用心努力使时间慢下来。
���不论对大人还是孩子来说,时间始终是一个很抽象的概念,我们每个人一生能拥有的时间有很大的不确定性,我们每天利用时间的方式也是千差万别的。你可以选择跑步去做十件事,你也可以选择散步去做一件事。哲学一点来看这两种选择都不错,根本区别是在于你在乎不在乎那九件事,能否放得下。我们每个人每天都在忙碌地活着和有滋味地生活之间作选择。
If you will forgive the melodrama, today was the beginning of the end.
We had a Course Options session today after school. There were two categories: Arts and Sciences & Languages. For Arts, I chose Band (of course). But for Sciences & Languages, I watched my future slip away as my mother circled the only science option. No languages or fun courses for me. No, Anna, stick to the doctorates. That's all you're good for.
Grrrr. Life sucks.
I want to read.
So I will go read.
I am too pessimistic to form a thought related to something mildly happy, so I will save the recommendation for another day.
Back again...
I just got back from my friend Malaea's sleepover birthday party. It was pretty fun. All my good friends from school were there. Charlotte pretty well went NuTs every time someone said the name "Edward" and started rocking back and forth and stuff because he isn't real. (Twilighters know what I'm talking about) She was close to tears.�It was slightly scary. That someone can be that obsessed.... Don't misunderstand me. I am obsessed as well. I just have more practice at hiding it (and all subsequent emotions). While all of them watched the Alien movies, I went downstairs and read. Sorry to inform you, but�I cannot and WILL not do science fiction. Never. I just can't watch it. It reduces me to tears, it scares me so much. Other than that, though, it was great. My friends were all in good spirits and as strange as ever.
Besides that, I got a chance to notice how absurd they all are. Don't get me wrong, they're all great people and I like them a lot. They're just so--forgive me for seeming like I think I'm better than them-- immature. It's incredible. We went out for supper to a buffet, and one of my friends (Mara) and I had to beg them, "Please, PLEASE don't fight or punch each other or talk about sex in loud voices." It's embarrassing. And I like them all, they're great people, just sometimes it's frustrating because... well. At times I find their antics very inane. I know I sound stuck up or whatever, but really. We're just very different, I guess. I would not be able to talk world news with a single one of them. (Well, maybe Mara, because she claims she listens to the news and reads the paper) Of course, you would hardly expect world news to be a topic at a 15-year-old girl's birthday party. But I can't help feeling so separate from them.
I have been feeling older than I really am lately. I don't know why. I've been feeling like I'm in my twenties or something... I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's pretty strange. I get a kind of jolt when I realise that I'm still 15.
Life's hard.
Suggestion of the day: Streetcorner Symphony, by Rob Thomas. Good song. He usually has good songs, so check out his other stuff if you want.
I'm going to go now. I have a ridiculous amount of homework that I can't get away with not doing.
Started studying for the ap calc test today.... test's in 10 days.... I'm so screwed.
its been a fair weekend,i watched castaways by tom hanks got a couple more movies for tonite and did a little housework,then i had my first cookout,the grill acutlly worked so im gonna make this a ritual,it is starting to cloud up� probly more rain.samson the cat has discovered the toilet,he likes to stand and look into it and watch the water move when its flushed,its funny to watch him do this, castaways was an excellent movie,i had never cooked out before i got lucky this time i didnt set the porch on fire even though i spilled some starter fluid on it,itsbeen a very quiet weekend lots of sleep,been very tired lately anyway,it is so hard to be alone,
So, I'm gonna start doing this again and not just ignore the emails XP
Spent 11 hours in the car Friday coming back from North Carolina. XP I love my cousin Nick.� I swear, he's the nicest person in the world
Yesterday was Konrad's birthday party.� I swear he's also one of the nicest people in the world.� We went out bowling, then to Applebee's, the to the movies.
I have this bad ache in my chest...i really need him i cant sleep its 4:00� *cries* i wish i knew he was gonna make me this unhappy....it hurts very bad
Oh my god why does it hurt so much *keeps crying*
当青丝中有了白发
我每年都尝试着变换发式,今年我选择梳小辫,突然找到了小时候的感觉, 不仅顿时感到青春焕发,还能在很大程度上遮住自己的白发。我大概是属于有十四岁的心态的四十岁女人一族.
刚开始家里两个男人都有点看不惯, 老公觉得我有点疯, 儿子认为我有点癫,可是过了不久, 他们又都一致认为目前只有这一款发式最适合我。我换别的发式时他们会不舒服.
为了证明我卓越的审美观, 我请敦敦试着在上海大街上寻找跟我类似的发式,结果他在繁华的南京西路上逛半天都没瞧见一个,突然有一天在电视上看到一位明星梳着优雅的长辫子, 看起来很有韵味, 这位90后才承认老妈的 ‘怀旧’ 实际上有 ‘前卫’ 的成分 .
刚刚改革开放的时候, 女人们的头发也跟人们的思想一样爆炸了. 爆炸式的大波和小卷代表人们厌倦刻板的辫子, 在‘庐山恋’之后,披肩发和马尾辫子大概风行了将近二十年, 90年代年纪轻的女人们都纷纷把卷头发烫直, 认为有必要PK山口百惠的玉女青纯. 二十一世纪的熟女们选择川岛芳子的中性发式,潇洒干练得让男人们觉得自己都不够阳刚.
头发由长到短,由卷到直几经折腾,女人们在彰显现代女人味上可没少花钱。本人的切身体会是,到了一定年纪的女人应该找适合自己的发式。你的头发不但应该点缀你的脸庞最好还能衬托你的内心。
