You are 10% evil! [?]
That's right! You're the meekest of the meek! You're the least amount evil! The philosophy in ying and yang is that no one person can be completely good or completely evil, but you're pretty close to complete, goodie-two-shoes!
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeek *_*

I made a mistake in my June 17th post. The foal is not 9 months old, it's 10 weeks old!
I think I have this thing where I'm reluctant to update if I don't have any comments on the last post. I think it's because I know that post will never get commented on if I make a new post. So I think I will make interactive posts... if i could think of ways to make them interactive. Maybe a question or something. Or a thinky puzzle. I don't know....
I have been running alot....every day practially (well, since Monday *_*). Last night we had 4 people running: me, Nancy, Mike Phan, and Katie. It was fun. I felt so good! We ran pretty much non-stop for an hour which might not sound so much to all you distance runners out there.... but I felt so full of energy, I could have run for another hour (except it was 9:30 and dark).
I don't know what else to write about.... hmm....
Oh! On Monday (I think it was monday... maybe it was tuesday, no, Monday) Emily and Rebecca and I went to see Spiderman. It was really good and sad. And today.. Katie, Rebecca, Emily, Seva, Rhea and I are going to the pool and that will be fun, unless it rains.... it better not.... And then.....My family and I are going to an ORIOLES GAME!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I love going to baseball games... especialy Orioles.... GO ORIOLES!!! They've actualy been winning, this has been a good season for them....
Coming soon....interactive posts......

Today was the freshman orientation. I am an ambassador so I had to go and help out. It's hard to beleive that we were once those little ignorant people. They come in and feel like they already own the school and are the coolest thing that walked the planet since.... the... ice age? But I guess thats what all freshman feel like because they are finaly out of middle school.
Today was my first day of "work". It was alot of fun, I am going to love this job, I already do. We mucked out the field behind the barn which took like an hour and a half and then we gave Tom, the old horse a bath. Megan is so scared of horses. They make the bbbbb noise (I don't know what you call it) and she won't walk near them, they neigh and she practiaclly screams. When we were washing Tom she was scared to wash him with the sponge and wouldn't put the conditioner through his mane. I shouldn't be annoyed because she is making a big effort, she is genuinely terrified and she will still go near them, but I can't help be annoyed because I know how sweet horses are and how they love people, especially Tom, he's 27 and as calm as anything. But I guess if she hangs around them long enough she'll realize that they would never hurt her on purpose, which is what I keep telling her. She's really nice and she's my friend and I want her to realize how great horses are, I can't imagine life without them.
Tonight I had to present my 4-H project. After I got back from the barn my poster board was still completely empty, even though I had all the information. I got back at 4:20, and was supposed to be at the church to present at 7. I worked nonstop and I still was 20 minutes late to the meeting. Atleast there were other people who had to present so I wasn't holding anything up.
I am now going to steal the current music idea from
Ryan, who stole it from Mary, so really I am stealing it from
Mary..... ...
current music: Smashing Pumpkins: Eye

I lied in my last post, my version of High Voltage is the original, Emily's was the remix. I don't know if any of you needed to know that.. but Ryan might like to because thats the version I gave him. Have a nice day! *_*
This is bad.. I've only updated 4 times in the last two weeks. Oh well, school is winding down so I'll be less busy later. (yeah right, I'll be more busy and my posts will be limited to once a week) My weekend was alot of fun. On Friday I went to see the Broadway Bound production of Footloose at Northwest. The actors have to try out to be in Broadway Bound and there were only two from Northwest. They were realy good, even thought the youngest is like 10... the young ones play the background roles like students and stuff. It was a really good show.
On Saturday I went RIDING in the morning. I haven't been riding for about two months and it was really great to be back on a horse. I rode Bill, the throughbred I leased last summer and am going to ride in the fair this summer. I love him so much, he's so great, he loves to be ridden. He's huge too, 16.3 hh (for all you horsey people). Then I went home, showered, and got picked up by Emily to go to her dad's house. She has a 18 year old brother who's in a wheelchair because he has a muscle disorder and can't use any of his muscles, except his tounge because he can talk perfectly. He's really nice and smart, he just can't move. It makes you realize how lucky you are. We had fun and I figured out my version of one of the new Linkin Park songs is a remix, not the real song. I spent the night and then my parents picked me up and 20 minutes later we went out to another barn. This lady who is my mom's friend has a boss who has a farm (the are riiiich) and they just got a foal and it's mother. She's looking for help with the baby and barn work because it is ALOT of work, so she asked Maureen (my mom's friend) if her daughter (Megan, who is my friend and does irish dancing at my dance school) and a friend (me) could come up up once or twice a week and help out. So we went up to see the barn to look around and learn what we need to do. The barn is SO nice. There is hot water, a toilet, a room with a couch and a microwave and coffee machine, a washstall which has outlets on both side so that when you are clipping the horse you don't have to run the cord under the horse, you just swith outlets... it has everything, you could live in the barn. And the foal... the foal is sooooooo cute. He's nine months old, chestnut, with long wobbly legs and everything. He has a white moon on his forehead which is why his name is Lunar. Plus.. they are going to pay us! Is that the best job or what? I don't know how much we're being paid, we didn't talk about it.
Today after my Geometry exam, which was suprisingly easy except for one problem on vectors which I had no idea about,
Ryan, Katie and I walked to the shopping center by Giant, to Katie's house, back to the shopping center to eat at King China Buffet (where I ate too much, because I had been saving my hunger since breakfast) and then to Giant again. At Giant we bought these little exploding pop things that are like little peas that make a little poping explosion when they hit the ground. They were really fun. Then we went back to Katie's and showed Ryan the Sims computer game.
It was a fun weekend-plus-monday. Now I'm going to go sit on the porch and listen to music and continue to digest my food. I left my Lord of the Rings book at school or I would read that....

Huzzah
My thumb is much better, horray! I got a year book, horray! Only like 6 more weeks until I go to England, horray! Only 10 more school says until summer, horray!
And those are the things I am thankful for today.....
My grades are kind of on the edge... I want straight A's but its not happening because of history where I have an 83%, not counting the quiz I just did really badly on. Hope for extra credit!! I also have a 91% in math, and a pretty hard test coming up tommorow. Those are the things I am not thankful for.....
Today at lunch I get in line to get a yearbook, with my $75 check, and then I get to the table and Mr. Wild (he dyed his hair blond!! *_*) tells me its $80. I really wanted the yearbook today, so I was asking everyone for money, and finally Richard let me borrow $5. Thank you to Richard! In 7th period I suddenly felt really hungry, which is understandable because I only had a granola bar, an apple and some pretzels for lunch, and I usualy need more than that (unless its a power bar). But then on the bus it started turning into this weird stomach ache that felt like the muscles in my stomach were all tied up in a knot. I was supposed to go to Petsmart with Nancy and Katie, but had to tell them I couldn't go because I could hardly stand up straight, and the only time it didn't hurt was when I was lying down. Its' the exact same feeling I got last year at the Music In the Parks trip to Hershey Park (which was so much fun even though I was in constant pain). So I took some TUMS (which taste like chalk), got some pasta, and lay down on the couch to read the comics, and 10 minutes later my stomach ache was gone. It was really weird..... Oh well, thats my interesting story of the day..... I just hope the stomach ache doesn't come back.....

Oh yeah, and I was gonna explain the title.....
Seva said that teachers pronounce his name 'sayva' sometimes. I told Katie and she said "wouldn't it be funny if his last name was turtle and then he would be sayva turtle (save a turtle). So then I said what if his middle name was migrating, then he would be sayva migrating turtle. So thats what I call him....
My thumb is stiff and hurts from typing.......this sucks....... bah........
ARG! I just wrote a whole long post and then I went to edit something from another post and I forgot to save the new one.. I am such an idiot.... arg..... well here's what I remember from it:
Save a migrating turtle
Today was Seva's birthday party. It was alot of fun! It was me, Seva, Emily, Rebecca, Katie B., Katie W., Richard, and "some jewish friend of Richard's" as Seva put it. Kyle was supposed to come but he never showed up. They said he had to go to some thing where he spoke at the beginning and at the end, so he had to stay for the whole thing. I don't think it would take 8 hours but you never know. Anyway, we started out at Bucca de Bepo's at 1:00 and ate lunch there, which was reeeeeeally good. Then we went to Seva's and watched "10 Things I Hate About You" which was good. Then we just hung around behind his house and played soccer at the school behind his house, which was alot of fun, except I am kind of beat up. I jammed my thumb when someone kicked the ball into it (It's my right thumb Mary, so now both violas have a jammed finger on their bowing hand *_*) and it hurts to write which can't be too good with finals coming up. I also got a bruise on my shin when I colided with Richard when running into him trying to steal the ball from him. There were these 2 weird bumps that looked like giant mosquito bites on my shin, and then I did the exact same thing in the exact same spot. But its ok, just bruised. We had cake and then just hung around at the school some more, before going back to his basement. It all ended at 9 and I am tired from being around very hyper people for 8 hours. But it was so much fun because we all get along so well, and can just come up with stuff to do. I gave him a gift cerftificate to Best Buy (all he wanted was money) and a giant thing or orange tic-tacs cuz i couldnt find orange altoids. Katie gave him the coolest present (which she also gave me) which, when you first open it, appears to be a tissue box. Then she tells you to pull out the tissues and when you do theres money in between some of the tissues. So you pull out the whole box of tissues and get alot of money, two fun things in one present.
Grr i had other stuff to say but i forget..... stupid self..... I'll update again if i remember. Oh yeah!!! I remember...
Mary and
Ryan were supposed to come "crash" Seva's party around 6, but they never did and I was sad because I wanted to see them. Oh well, tommorow I'm going to Mary's dad's company picnic with her, HORRAY!!!
