This one was the BIGGEST. I liked 8th grade, a lot. Sure I got made fun of, but that was the case for all of my school years XD;.
Hmm... Somewhere in there, I made friends with Jeneher, and went over to her house a lot. I liked it there. Her siblings and I got along half the time, half the time we fought XD. Elizabeth wasn't as nasty back then, but peter was nastier 0_o... I remember back then, they didn't have any new housing there, so we used to ride our bikes through the dirt lots and played this fun game with a tennis ball. Fun stuff, man! I spent the night there a lot...
Hung out with Rebecca a lot too. Meh... The three of us had one class together... that US history class where we made projects the whole entire year. We didn't get along very well... ehehehe. It was somewhere around 8th grade where I started to get annoyed with rebecca's "problem" of chronic lying and making up really stupid shit like being involved in a gang fight and whooping guys who were twice as big as her... Her mom took me home a lot... the second half of the year, I rode my bike.
One of my favorite classes was that 6th period science class I had with Mr Blake. I loved him 0___o. He was so experienced and always made things fun. Neil was in that class... but I remember that at the end of the year we worked on this project where we bent glass straws... and I broke mine ^_^*. Neil was my partner. He was also in my algebra class where I remember one time he ditched class to see the Star Wars remake. I remember WEIRD things 0_o.
Kay... in band... I played a mix of parts 0_o. The 7th graders played first clarinet most of the year and I got stuck in the back a lot.. where I met NYAR. I don't even remember how we got started inusing our names backwards, but Nyar just STUCK. And I still use it ... hehe, half the time. Okay, he talke to me... a LOT and ya, was irritating sometimes, but I liked him and most of the time, he was pretty nice to me. When we got to talking about games, one day he was like " I'm bringing Chrono Trigger for you. It's the best game EVER." So he brought it for me one day... and I took it home, and was annoyed. I'd never played an RPG, other than pokemon, and didn't know what the hell a real rpg was about. I was gunna ditch it, but Nyar was pretty adament about it and told me some stuff... and I stuck though, with the help of the VERY long guide he printed from gamefaqs. Yah, that was when I was introduced to gamefaqs too. CTCTCTCTCT... THANK YOU NYAR. I could go on and on about my CT antics... but I'll save that for later ^_-. basically, CT changed my world, becoming my most favorite video game...
OKAY, now for the important part. Fall, 8th grade. I rememebr being on my Sailor Moon thing and hearing about this *new* Japan-born show. I hated the idea. This new, stupid show was gunna replace MY Sailor Moon! I was adament that sailor moon would always be better and I'd never like it... until... everyone in my little group started talking about it. First Rebecca... then Jessie... AND THEN Wei-Chen. We started talking about Pikachu, and we didn't know how to pronounce it and she was all "Pikasoup"? SO that name stuck for a while XD. So I decided to watch an ep... don't remember what it was, remember I didn't like it. I said "this show SUCKS, man." But... somehow my curiosity got the better of me and... I watched the 15th episode. It was the first of the St Anne trilogy, James was getting his new voice and it was the first time(and one of the most memorable) when he cross-dressed. When I heard the "COOOL! ... COOOL!! ... COOOL!" thing for the first time, I was doubled over, laughing XD. I called Wei-Chen, I think even during the commercial 0_o, and we were laughing about it.
THAT started my pokemon obsession... which lasted for years... the first time "The battle aboard the St Anne" was shown. Then I was hooked. I recorded every ep, I made sure to catch pokemon every day after school, not ever missing ONE ep... I was so hooked... got the games, got entranced playing through 4 straight hours of pokemon red. Cheated and cought all the pokemon, and Mew was given to me^_^*. Eventually got into the card thing... but it wasn't until 9th grade when I bought the charizard card off a kid for 10 bucks XD. I rememeber Ben and I did some pokemon stuff... during that time in 8th grade, he was half decent to me. I got the players guide then and had more fun(but I lost that ;__;...).
Did Baby-think-it-over. heheh... twice. Had more fun the first time, in 7th grade. I thought they were pretty cute and I got to play dress-up. Hey, what girl doesn't like to play dress-up?! Of course I didn't like being woken in the middle of the night, but who does? ^_^*
Some how, I neglected to mention Stephen in all of this... Oboe player... made friends with him too in 7th grade. We became pretty close until Rebecca got in the picture and they became a couple... and broke up after like 2 weeks 0_o... then Stephen and I kind of drifted apart. I felt pretty bad, because I let Rebecca influence me too much, when I wish I would have been a better friend to him... I still regret that. Sometimes I wonder how he turned out. How he's changed... I'll never know, though.
Everything plays upon everything else... I met Solomon through Stephen and learned about his Pokemon obsession too. He memorized ALL the pokeraps and typed them up for Rebecca XD. Gawd, that was FUN. We talked pokemon a lot... Hehe...
8th grade eventually ended... along with all the fun. There WAS the Great America trip, Alcatraz, and the 8th grade Windsor Waterworks... hehe... FUN. I was hesitant to leave that Jr High. It was like a prison, I mean detentions for leaving your backpack unattended 0___o, but I generally didn't get in trouble. Yah, I regretted leaving...
There's so much more I can type and type... but mom's waking me up early to go turn in that college form that'd due eh... tomorrow -__-. $*&($##(*&.
Yeah, I liked 8th grade. A lot. I'm rememebring stuff I didn't mention now. Too lazy to go back. Maybe next entry. OOOH... FRESHIE!!
