duct tape is my enemy this day

i forgot how much i hate pro-life day. i'm all for self-expression and protest, but, being pro-choice, it's just really awkward. everybody coming up to me and being like "hey, maddie, want some duct tape?" and then i have to be like "oh...no thanks...." and they re like "why not???" and i'm like "well...actually..i'm pro-choice...." and they're like "oh. *walks away swiftly*" i had that conversation about 6 times in the first two hours of school today. after that i decided it would be easier to just avoid the one-on-one awkward convos by shouting "i'm pro-choice!!!" every time i walked into a new classroom. that ended up working pretty well for my purposes. science was the worst. mr. idiot (as i've recently dubbed my science teacher.mature, i know.) decided to "enlighten us" on his views on abortion (you know, its taking a human life, its against the bible, all of gods children deserve a shot at life, abortion is murder in all cases, bla...bla...bla the usual) which was a bit offensive to the pro-choice agnostic in the room (moi). i don't mind when teachers share their opinions, but when they preach it makes me slightly uncomfortable/aggravated. mostly because trying to influence a student's religious views is...well...illegal. according to the constitution. but hey, its only the foundation of our country's government, right? no biggy. (could you sense the sarcasm there?)
on a happier (less controversial) note, the ink war was off today cuz america cant talk so i'm unmarked and very gleeful. it had taken a wee bit of an unfair turn what with her having 10 allies to my one and 20 bombs (3 of which were nuclear) against my 2 non-nuclear bombs. but today i got one of her allies to double-cross her and make her into a kitty using a black sharpie. muahaha. i'm not counting it as a win, though, because today wasn't technically part of the war. so the score still stands america:1 russia/japan:2 also, i was able to successfully rehabilitate japan after the bombing (aka: wash my face) so i look mostly normal again. woot.

red, the blood of angry men....

ok, so i was all stocked and ready for full blown world war 3 today, right? and before class i was walking around the halls with an open highlighter and my eyes peeled for the enemy and i heard from an unnamed source that she had recruited about 10 allies in her axis of evil (including one of my former allies bostin bckee) whereas i only have 1 1/2. and i was like shit. i'm screwed. but i made it to french class unmarked and learned the word "anananas" which means pineapple, before returning to the battle zone. i proceeded to uncap my pink highlighter once more and continue down the treacherous hallway... it was then, as i touched the door handle of the choir room, that she struck from behind with a permanent red sharpie, and let loose all of her pent up childhood anguish upon my face. seriously, i looked like heath ledger in batman. to top it all off, she couldn't aim from behind so about 66% of her attack landed in my mouth, resulting in one semi-permanent red tooth and and ink-tongue. yum. through the red torrent, i managed to draw only a solitary pink line of retaliation on her cheek. she then declared herself to be america, generally following the rules, but dropping atom bombs when needed. i proceeded to declare my face japan, for obvious reasons. so, if u were wondering, the score is now japan/russia: 2 america: 1. suck it america, i'm still winning!

it be-eth a war of which i speak!

so two days ago, in choir, my friend jill had a crazy moment and drew a microscopic dot on my face with a pen. then, just to mess with me, she told me the mark was HUGE and started laughing at me. little did she know, i had a highlighter in my hand. i did. it was neon pink. i retaliated. i drew a big pink mark stretching from about the middle of her forehead, through her eyebrow and eyelid, and down to her cheek. meanwhile, ms scott wqs yelling at us to calm down and, after collapsing in a heap of giggles after jill looked at her newly decorated face, we did. thats the great (and ofter very annoying) thing about ms scott. we can do whatever the hell we want without consequence! muahahaha. anyway, that was the first battle of the epic marker war that has now been going strong for three days. needless to say, i won that one haha. then, yesterday, she snuck up on my in science and drew a big blue line down the whole left side of my face. i attempted to retaliate...but she dodged it and then the bell rang. grr. HOWEVER i colored one side of her face pink in the hall after 5th hour soooo it was a tie. who knows what will happen today....but im carrying a shharpie in my pocket. hehe.

Hmmm...I guess I have a blog now

why do i have a blog now? uhm.....cuz i'm procrastinating my science homework. for serious, i'm fucking buried in it. gah. i need a shovel. yes. a shovel would be useful in many ways...i could dig out of the homework, then club my science teacher, then dig to china and marry an asian. hehe. sounds good.

in other news: jessie wasn't there in "crucible" rehearsals today so i got to fill in and be mary warren for a day! it was really cool, even though i didn't know any of the lines and was therefore on book and...well...slow. the vestry room scene is my favorite. it was awesome. i love the crucible. the end.
