someone donated 25 dollars to my account for up with people. I had 229 in it and my mom put it her account so she could take out 500 for my security fee that saves my spot for up with people.
this morning the lunch ladies gave me ten dollars for it. i started to cry. Frau sam gave me five dollars. Tyann is going to give me something for it. Ralph's brother is going to give me something. maybe the huron community will step it up and i'll get to go in July. I'm really excited to go. :)
My mom asked me if i was excited to go... well yes i'm excited to go. -.-

I don't believe that. People aren't paying for net just to look at porn. Porn is just a huge perk to having internet access.

sam better watch what she says... she was talking about how being big is wrong and she doesn't know her true weight and every mirror she sees makes her look fat. well she's starting to look like a carrot again... and she's no freaking skinny head either...
sarah has a theory. small people can walk easier in heals than bigger people can... they use all their weight with their feet. I wanted to punch them both... -.-
I feel like being generous today. all the profiles i've rated i've given tens to, except one, and i gave that profile a five. Maybe i'm being too nice. (: oh well... this 'giving ten' mood might last :P.

i fucking hate sarah too. I lost track of time, and didnt go to studyhall. She's pissed at me because I was at school up untill studyhall. I was there till 12. She was no where to be seen. She was with Samantha. I did do research on the stupid poet. I had it all done. I just forgot to go to studyhall today. So she can be fucking pissed of at me. I dont care. I was watching a movie last studyhall and didnt do a thing to help her. I did to. Oh well... i dont care. she can go fly off a cliff for all I care. :)
sam fucking pisses me off.
i have to go home and take my kuchen and cheesecake hom and all she's fucking worried about is the fucking project i have to do with Sarah. I might just fucking skip the damn project and send the stuff to her and not do it.
Three hours of studyhall in a row gets a little boring after awhile... Ive sat there this whole semester for three fucking hours. I'm leaving today and I might not come back.

i was thinking of this, this morning on the bus. you know how people that are gay have a gaydar, do other people that aren't gay, have a gaydar? do they have some kind of 'radar' or something? this is what happens when I start thinking...
COMMENTS
everyone has a radar of some kind but knowing how to access it is a different thing . and as for the "gaydar"why would you need one. they are just like everyone else , and as long as they don't prostitution you if you don't want them to , they make the best friends and they are more truer then others.
well... it was just a thought. someone might make a big deal about it or something... maybe it's just me, but everyone seems to judge everyone, even if they aren't gay. They judge people if they are gay, they tend to judge what's on the surface... I know they're like everyone else. they're amazing people. Being gay isnt a bad thing... I love gay people. One of my friends, i was going to say best friend, but he's not my best friend, is gay. He's an amazing person. People tend to judge whethere someone's gay or not... they judge if you're big, they judge if you're small, they even judge what you're wearing. you know... this is what i get for thinking... I'm not bashing gay people either... I happen to love everyone even they are or aren't gay. Why would you need one? Maybe someone wants to judge another from the surface. I tend think about this kind of stuff, and most of the time people don't respond to it... again it was just a thought that was kind of bothering me... -.- i tend to write pointless entries about stuff that kind of bothers me...
And MyBleedingReaction you are so right (of course you no this bc we jsut talked bout this) about that i mean ok you may be gay and may not be but wat makes you any different from someone whos not gay and as far as judging other such as how big or small or wat you wear goes its pointless no use no benifit comes form it but your own plessure of making ppl feel bad ppl even judge bout what someoen has what color hair they have who they are dateing and so on.. and the the only reason people judge others is bc they are noticeing what they dont like bout them or wish they had or evne for that matter what they wish they didnt have so this term " gaydar" isnt bashing or anytihn on gay people its something that if your gay its liek you ccna sense that there is a nother gay present so its nto a bad thing so nayone woh has a problem with gays and anyother people or
"gaydar" can just think to themself bc there is nothing wrong with it and judging peopel dosnt make you any better so anyone woh judges cna just shut it... soo..ladySnowStrixx you can jsut shut it bc shes my friend and i agree with her and this is the point she was trying to get at and i just nailed it!! thank you im done now

I'm currently watching Brokeback Mountain, and I soo hate the wives in there. Enius's wife is a total bitch... she suspected enius and jack had something going on the moment jack came and visited Enius the first time. and the other wife is okay... kind of annoying, but i guess she's okay... she doesnt know about Jack and Enius... except that Jack goes and sees enius all the time.

lastnight i watched brokeback mountain. I was up till 12:35 watching it, and i was thinking to myself that the relationship between Jack and Enius is like my relationship with Tori, except I never get to see Tori. I never get to hug her, I miss her all the time, and we only talk through messenger, never on the phone or anything. :( I think she's cheating on me too.... = She said she'd never cheat on me, but once a cheater, always a cheater... >.< Jack Twist is uberly in love wtih Enius, and I believe that Enius is really in love with Jack at the beginning of the movie, but gradually falls out of it. I liked the part where Jack first comes to town after four years and Enius storms down the stairs and attacks Jack in kisses and hugs. It makes me smile. :) I also like the part where Enius goes to Jack's parents and goes up to his room and eventually finds his shirt that Jack kept all those years. It's sad in a way cause Jack died, but it also meant that Jack was hopelessly in love with Enius. anyway.... enough writing about the movie, I think it's an amazing love story that everyone should watch, even if they are homophobic.
I think Tori's cheating on me, and I can't ask her cause well I'm afraid to and she'll never break up with me cause i dont think she's like that... I wish Darrell was here so she could talk to tori for me. :) hehe I love tori a lot and she means a lot to me, but i'm starting to think that she really doesn't care for me and the relationship is just a phony. -.-
kayy i'm done for now. :)

My name is Rachel Hansen. I am currently eighteen years old and am enrolled at Huron Highschool as a senior.
I am writing the vr world because I got accepted into Up with People and on the fundraiser sheets it says post to a website. Soo that's what I'm doing. :)
I applied for Up With People in November and we had many interviews set up, but the lady never called us back. The day I turned eighteen I got a call from A guy named Nicky and he asked if we could do the interview the next day and I said sure. The next day he called and we did the interview and after it was done he told me that I should start doing fundraisers and I should hear from them in 2-4 weeks.
Nine days later I had to take my computer into the helpdesk cause it was being a hobo. I had no computer at all till 2:30ish. At three I checked my email and I had four from my friend Samantha and one from Up With People. They were telling me I had gotten accepted. I wanted to cry and laugh and scream at the same time. My mom wanted to cry and everyone was happy for me.
I have to raise 14,250 dollars to go for six months. That covers all my airfare, busfair, and traveling. It also covers food, places to stay while on tour, and back to the states when the tour is over.
Soo I'm asking for your help. Anything helps. like sending stamps or something. Every little bit helps. Even if it's a penny, it's one penny closer to my goal.
I recieved papers today and we have to have the money by May 15th. Sooo all your help will help me get to my goal.

i guess sam's not mad at me... or that's what she claimed in the email she sent me today... she's mad at rachel holler for ignoring her when they dated. and this one chick, i think her name is lannie or something, wants to yell at rachel. she's bi too and is afraid to tell her mom, but second mom doesnt care if she's bi or not.
i've got to pee really really really bad, but we're going to be taking another quiz soon.
a couple juniors in my la 11 class started digging themselves in a whole. they started bashing the senior class, and next year they'll be a better senior class with more school spirit and stuff. i kind of angry with them, wanted to start screaming at them, but i didnt, and i let them bash the senior class. sooo sorry i dont have any class spirit juniors, i dont like basketball, volleyball, or football. golf, wrestling, track, cross country, gymnastics, and any other sports, i hate them. you're not going to have that good of a senior class next year anyway. well in team spirit anyway. i know you have lots of preps that will be all for it, but there are ones that aren't for it. soo no need to bash this year's senior class for team spirit.
Jean freaked out this morning because i told her about sam being mad at me for rachel hugging me saturday. she wanted to know if they were both bisexual or lesbian or something. i giggled the whole way through it because of the way she said it. and i ended up telling her that they rachel is jumping off the cliff and sam goes both ways. :) hehe

i had a dream lastnight that Huron had a pride parade and there was a group of pepole that were handing out flyers about this meeting they were going to have the next day and it was at a beat down resturaunt. i went and i had to sneak through the back cause the front door was locked. soo i went and i walked in and it was a group of older people and i sat down and this one guy was speaknig in code telling the lady i was here or something like that. and the cops came and this one guy that i was sitting with started yelling at the cops and one cop shot one of those arrow things that make animals go to sleep. and the guy that got shot with the thingy fell asleep instantly and on my arm. and the lady told the cops to just calm down. so they stopped and stood at the back and the lady got up and started talking and it was about gay rights and stuff and the history of it. and i was amazed. and then we talked about the next thing we were going to do. and it wasnt white people. it was african americans. all of them. except the cops and me. and they were all older than me. and i specifically remember the lady speaking in code when the cops came. and the sign on the door said "go around back" so i had to go through trees and jump over rocks. and the place resembled dairy queen, but it was run down. and inside the floor was carpeted and the tables were set really nice. and there was a screen and projecter. and then i woke up when the lady was talking about the next thing we were going to do at the next meeting.
happy february first vrians! :)

That is 1 theory. The other main theory goes along with the theory that the entire movie is based on the gold rush of the USA. And that Oz stands for ounce, and if you read the actual book you will see that the shoes were silver (another well searched for metal in this country that caused a "rush"). There are many other things including that the characters that are with her stand for people in American history (including Theodore Roosevelt and many others).
