So, today was my last day of freedom for the next couple days. For the next two days, I'm actually going to have to get up and get dressed, maybe even shower. Depressing, I know. But anyways, today, if possible, was even more boring than yesterday. I played MarioKart for the Wii with my Mom & Molly. I played with my brother. I texted people. I creeped Facebook. I downloaded The Cab's cover of Disturbia off the Punk Goes Pop 2 CD. I read some more of To Kill a Mockingbird. I watched an episode of Gilmore Girls. I ate a lot of food. I babysat while my Mom went to the store to get canola oil, which we needed because we had tacos for dinner. :D
Oh yeah, I also talked to Hollie today for the first time in forever. She has to go to Boston tommorow because she's getting her kidneys checked out. :/ So, if anyone reads this, if you could say a prayer for my best friend's health, that'd be great. :)
Tommorow, I have track practice for the first time since Friday, at 3:00 PM. Then, I'm going to my friend Paige's Sweet Sixteen birthday party at....7:30 PM? *Checks invitation* Yeah, 7:30 PM.
I'm really tired.
I miss Mike.
I need a hug.
I like music.
Apparantly, I look really cute.
My allergies started today. :/
Hence the title of this post, "I'm not sick, but I'm not well." Because I'm not, technically, sick, but I'm not feeling great. (Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger). Although, personally, I really like Chiodos cover of Flagpole Sitta. It took a couple listens to get used to, but now, I really like it.
Awwwww, I have my iTunes on shuffle, and the song I'm Yours by Jason Mraz just came on.
Fuck my life, I miss Mike. :(
Anyways, it's 11:37 PM and I am so tired it's not even funny, despite pretty much doing nothing all day. Ha.

what's a girl to do with friends like this?
Today was also, kinda-sorta sofa king boring.
Today I:
1. Ate a bowl of Cap'n Crunch for breakfast.
2. Watched the Red Sox game.
3. Went to Dairy Queen with my Mom & sister.
4. Went to work, and worked.
5. Did laundry.
6. Got stood up by my supposed best friend.
7. Downloaded the song She's a Lady by Forever the Sickest Kids.
8. Read more of To Kill a Mockingbird.
While reading To Kill a Mockingbird, I realized that this book really is one of the best examples of American literature. While reading, I could picture in my head the town of Maycomb, Alabama and it's inhabitants. I am at the beginning of the courthouse scene; Jem, Dill, and Scout have just made their way into the colored seats. It's very good so far, I think I will be done in the next few days.
Also, I downloaded the song "She's a Lady" by Forever the Sickest Kids today. I like it a lot. I like all the harmonies that the band uses, it reminds me of the harmonies that All Time Low uses.
And, I called my best friend Hollie today, and I asked her if she wanted to come over my house and spend the night. She said that she would ask her Mom, and then call me back. This was at about 4:00 PM. It is now 6:48 PM, with nothing. So, I think it's a reasonable conclusion that she's not coming. This whole scenario gave me the inspiration for the title of this post, "What's a girl to do with friends like this?" which comes from the song "Holiday From Real" by Jack's Mannequin, one of my favorite bands. Because, honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do. I think I'm just going to let it go, I don't know.
I also finally did my laundry today! My pile of dirty clothes has been growing rapidly over the past few days, and every morning was a cruel reminder of the fact that I needed to do my laundry, especially when I saw my decreasing pile of underwear. But anyway, I felt very accomplished today when I finally got that done. Doing my laundry isn't a hard chore for me, as a matter of fact, I'd go as far as to say that doing laundry is my favorite chore. It's better than picking up dog poop or cleaning toliets or something like that.
I also went to work today. My job is not very fantastic, I vacuum (sp?) and empty trash cans at my Dad's office. My Mom works with me, she cleans the bathroom & kitchen. My sister, Molly, absolutely had to tag along so she dusts the stairs and helps my Mom. We eat all the good candy out of the bowl that the receptionist leaves out.
The best part of today, probably, was getting to go to Dairy Queen. Especially in April! Getting to go to Dairy Queen doesn't happen very often, even in Summer. What happened was, my Mom very nicely made a pan of brownies earlier today. When my sister (Molly again), asked for one, my Mom told her that she could have one after she ate lunch. Later on, she ate lunch and instead of asking my Mom, asked my Dad if she could have one. My Dad, not knowing what my Mom had told her earlier, told her that she could wait until after dinner. Molly, obviously, was crushed. My Mom felt bad about this but she couldn't say anything because that'd be undermining my Dad's authority, and that sort of thing. So, when we left to go clean, my Mom told me that she had a plan. I had no idea what this plan was going to be until she took a right turn to go to Dairy Queen instead of going straight, like she normally does, to go to my Dad's office. Molly asked her, "Mom, why are we turning right? Don't we go straight?" My Mom told her, with a smile on her face, "Yeah, we go straight when we're not going to Dairy Queen." Molly then proceeded to do a happy dance, which was quite comical because she was buckled in a carseat. The three of us all got Blizzards. My Mom ordered a Heath Bar Blizzard (which she gets everytime, yawn), while Molly&I both decided to order the Blizzard of the Month, the Chocolate Truffle Blizzard. In the poster that was above the menu, the Chocolate Truffle Blizzard was depicted as being very chocolately, with what appeared to be chocolate soft serve ice cream with bits of brownie mixed in. We both thought this looked very good and decided to order the Chocolate Truffle Blizzard. The woman who was working there at the time took our order, and a few minutes later she reappeared at the window with two cups, that she said were Chocolate Truffle Blizzards. They did not look anything like the poster! However, upon taking bites of our Blizzards, Molly&I decided that it did not matter that they did not look like the poster, they still tasted very good. So, that was our Dairy Queen adventure.
I also watched the Red Sox game against the Baltimore Orioles today. I even wore my Dustin Pedroia (favorite player!) jersey for the occasion, by accident. The Red Sox played very well, they won, 12-1. Dustin was 4-6 with three RBI's. He had this one hit where the ball was way outside over the right side of the plate, which most players would not be able to hit. However, Dustin Pedroia is not most players. He, completely off-balance, managed to hit the ball, not only into fair territory, but it actually was a hit. The announcers thought this was very funny. Also, I think that the Baltimore Orioles need to improve their defense. They had a lot of silly errors that you knew, watching, that the players knew how to make the plays, they just didn't call the ball or whatever. Tommorow, the Red Sox play the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park at 7:10 PM.
And, I ate Cap'n Crunch for breakfast. :)
But anyway, that's all that's really going on in my life right now.
So, I should probably go be social now, or maybe...not.

i'm not gonna waste these words, about a girl.
William Beckett may not be wasting words about a girl, but I'm going to.
Oops, my Mom just called me downstairs for dinner. Be right back.
Ok, now I'm back. That was a good dinner.
Anyway, this is one of those typical first posts where I have to explain about myself, right? So, I'll try not to bore anyone.
My name is Mary. I was named after my grandmother, who is quite possibly one of the craziest, coolest 70 year-olds ever. My middle name is Givens, which is an old family name that's been passed on to the oldest daughter since the mid 1800's, so that's pretty cool.
I'm the oldest of six children. Yeah, that's right, six. And yes, I do get enough love and attention.
I have three brothers and two sisters. My brother's names are C.J., Sam, and Bobby. My sisters names are Molly and Chloe.
C.J. is fifteen years old, and I call him my youngest older brother. He is in the eighth grade, and he'll be in the same school with me next year. He's gotten so tall, I think people will think I'm lying if I tell them he's my younger brother. C.J. is also autistic. He is, not lying, one of my best friends.
Sam is nine years old, and he is the middle child of our large family. He is in the third grade. I think it's just his age, but he's a pretty emotional kid. He and C.J. get into arguments quite a bit, but I think it'll stop once Sam gets a little older. He likes video games, and this computer game called Roblox, quite a bit.
Molly is seven years old, and she is a sweetheart. She's in the first grade. She tries really hard to be your best friend. She likes the color pink a lot. She likes Hannah Montana a lot, despite my trying to give her more exposure to better music. She did say that Jack's Mannequin was "ok", so that's better than nothing, right? She, I can tell right now, is going to be a perfectionist.
Bobby is four years old, and he is the cutest kid ever, not gonna lie. He's in preschool. He likes playing outside, no matter what the weather. He likes being read to. He's an extremely picky eater. He likes Thomas the Tank Engine.
Chloe is a year old, and, obviously, doesn't go to school. She is a big troublemaker, but gets away with it because she's sodangcute. She likes anything sweet, and she does this cute dance thing where she bends her knees ever so slightly and goes up and down like that. She likes to watch tv while sitting on the coffee table.
My mom's name is Jen. She's forty-one and would probably make more than most CEO's if being a mother was a paid job. She is kickass and could easily run for President and win, I say. She likes to cook, watch sports, garden, and spend time with us, her crazy kids.
My dad's name is Brian. He's forty-seven and works as a civil engineer. He is really good at Math, which is a trait that, unfortunately, has not been passed on to me. He likes his job a lot and, when he's mad, often threatens to stay there. He is unresponsive during Boston Bruins games, enjoys baking cakes, and thinks The Office is the best show, ever. Ever.
Well, now you know about my semi-normal family, and I guess you want to know about me, right?
Well...the truth is...I don't really know much about me. I think that's why I started this thing.
However, I do know that:
1. I love music. A lot. A loooooooooot.
2. I love reading, a lot.
3. I want to do something in the English field when I grow up. Author, maybe.
So who knows, maybe this'll turn into a writing blog. All I know for now is, I need a place to write everything down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other news, today was really boring.
I downloaded the song About a Girl by The Academy Is... (where the title of this post came from), and it is extremely catchy and wonderful.
I also downloaded Chiodos' cover of Flagpole Sitta, off of the Punk Goes Pop 2 CD. I bought it on a whim, because I love the original song, and I have heard nothing but good things about Chiodos from friends. Upon listening to it, I think that it's a good song, but I'm going to have to get used to the screaming.
Right now, I'm listening to this rock remix a guy did of Lady GaGa's song, Just Dance, that PerezHilton posted on his blog a couple weeks ago. The guy did a remix of Poker Face, but I like the Just Dance one better.
It's Spring Break, so I don't have to go to school tommorow, so that's nice.
Also nice: my only homework over Spring Break is to read Part One of To Kill a Mockingbird, which is an excellent book that I highly reccomend to anyone. I have read it previously, so reading it again is fun, because I already know how the novel ends.
But anyway, I already finished Part One, and I've made my Facebook status as such, so that way my fellow English classmates can feel jealous.
I asked my Mom if she thought that Ms.Lippincott would get mad if I finished the entire novel over Spring Break because, as of right now, it's looking that way. My mom said, "Well, why would you tell her?", which is a good point.
So, I'm happy we're reading a good book in English for once.
Tommorow, I'm supposed to go over my friend Catherine's house, which I kindasorta want to not go to. I don't know, I'm in the mood to just stay at home and read more of To Kill a Mockingbird.
And I want Hollie to come over! I miss my best friend, I feel like I haven't talked to her in ages.
And I really want to see Mike, right. now. He got his appendix taken out a couple weeks ago and I miss him. Of course, the minute I realize that I like him and he likes me, this happens. If you ever read this, Mike Mannion, I love you and I hope you're feeling ok.
Anyways, I can't think of anymore lifeshattering updates about my life right now, so I guess I'll go read more To Kill a Mockingbird now.
