parkplace's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My "Special" Swan Listening To: Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional Yesterday, in school, I was in global studies class and My teacher, Mr.Maguire, was talking about the fricken midevil times. So this EXTREMLY ditsy and very stupid girl (one of those valley-girl type girls) inturrupted him. Do you know what she said? Or, better yet: Do you want to know what she said... "MR. MAGUIRE GUESS WHAT!?!? A NEW WORD WAS JUST ADDED INTO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!! GUESS WHAT THE WORDS IS!!!!!! IT'S BLING-BLING!! ISN'T THAT AMAZING!!" ... Can someone please painstakingly kill me now, before I have to put up with these fucking IDIOTS in my high school agian?!?!
Anyhoo, Julia and I slept over Kelly's house last night. I brought all my gifts I bought for them from New York City to her house. They both loved them. I gave kelly a red metal makeup mirror type thingy (I have no fricken idea what its called, i'm a guy) and I gave Julia this funny picture-book called "Yes, a Cat Named Marty Cohen." Then I both gave them this mtv product called "Mixo Cards". It's like stationary. Overall, they bothed loved their presents I gave them. AND THEY BEST BE LOVIN THOSE PRESENTS CAUSE I SPENT MY BIRTHDAY MONEY ON THOSE BIZZICTES. REPRESENT REPRESENT!! ... MOVING ON, Kelly woke me up this morning. I had a wierd dream that Ben was being the biggest fucking asshole to me. You know, the way he usually acts to me in real life. Well, Kelly woke me up and I immediatly was swept off with Julia to her house because Kelly had to go to work-out. So at Julia's house, I was looking at her book case and I found a japaneze origami kit, full of multicolored square pieces of paper. I asked Jules if I could try to make a swan with the kit, she told me that I could, so I opened up the wraping. The only problem is is that I couldn't find instructions on how to make a swan. I was thinking in my head "WTF! If they have paper swans on the fucking cover, then I want make a paper swan!!" Eventually, I found that the intructions were on the back of the paper cover. You know, the last place that I would look... Little did I know that that was to tip of the iceburg.. So I grabbed a piece of red paper and I started to fold the paper according to the first step. Piece of cake. Then I did the same for the second step. Not a problem. Then I came to the third step. That good old third step. I looked at the diagram and I tried to fold it according to what the steps said, but MY FUCKING HALF-WAY SWAN DIDN'T LOOK ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THE THIRD STEP SHOULD LOOK LIKE!! I just want to remind you that origami is "the art of folding paper." And you REALLY know that you need to undertake some "special help services" when you can't fold paper correctly... Anyway, after ten minutes of attempting the third step in this "fun-for-all-ages" origami swan, I finally figure out how to do it, feeling so accomplished, but also feeling very, very stupid. Then I come to step five, the step of creating the beak. Kill me now... It took me at least 15 minutes to FINALLY "complete" to step! I put complete in quotation marks because when I finally figured out how to do it, I pulled back the beak to crease it. And when I pulled back the beak The WHOLE FUCKING HEAD RIPPED OFF! I WAS SO FUCKING BULLSHIT. AFTER ABOUT 22 MINUTES OF TRYING TO CREATE A FUCKING EASY-ASS ORIGAMI AMINAL, ALL I GOT WAS A BE-HEADED SWAN!! Origami is the greatest method to lower your Self-Esteem...
