Alright, so in May of last year, girl in my class called me trailer trash, and informed me that I would never amount to anything in life.
My thoughts:
1.My family isn't rich, but we're far from being trashy.
2.How many 2-story, 6,000 sq.ft. trailer houses have you heard of?
3.It took her thirty-minutes to say what I have just condensed into one sentence;obviously not the brightest light that could shine.
4.She's such a genius that she still has the primitive belief that she is superior to others, and informed my friends (who, i might add, hate her) that they 'weren't supposed to talk to me, because i'm not mormon'.
5.I should've just shot her right there...waste of perfectly good space and oxygen...

Mel, being the kck-ass bf that she is, confronted this girl n art class the next day. The way I heard it, she basically assaulted her by the sinks . I believe she said something along the lines of "How the hell do you get off by calling someone trailer trash? Fucking Dumbass."
Only with much more flair, color, and intelligence .
(the girl's mom came to my mom's office the next day and was complaining about a girl named mel--my mom's secretary said something about how much she loved mel and set her off even more, haha )
Anyways,the girl cried, and has pretty much avoided me ever since--HALLE-FREAKIN-LUJIAH!!!
Until today.
I was waiting in the lunch line, and she comes up out of nowhere and stands next to me. I scoot forward a little, and she matches my step; I'm thinkin yeah, whatever, the bitch just wants to cut. AND THEN SHE ACTUALLY TRIED TO TALK TO ME!?
She's all like "why are you ignoring me?" (imagine the 15-minute duambass version)
Which confused me, because i haven't really ignored her-i have just refused to acknowledge her existence
Then she proceeded to call me a bitch and a dumbass (again, the dummied-down anti-swearing version). Long story short, she basically encouraged my previous decision to rid the earth of her. I didn't, sad to say .
I resisted the urge to rip her a new one, and luckily one of my friends came up and saved me. Anywho, just had to share
Have a good weekend, everyone!
Love to all,

Hi everyone!
I can't wait for Halloween Night! I'm gonna be a fairy, and Mell-Bell-22 is gonna make my costume, I'm so excited!
The only hitch is, I promised that mel could do my make-up...:/...we'll see how that one goes.
It's not that she isn't good with make-up - she's very good, actually - I just never wear make-up. I'm actualy pretty incompetent with all the girly stuff, haha. Oh well, it'll be a cool costume, make-up or no.
Well, I'm putting off a shitload of homework, so I should probably get back to that....
Yeah, we'll see if it actually happens <--What I wouldn't give to do that to my English and Spanish teachers!

Well, I'll stop rambling. Hugs to all who survived the duration of this journal .

Okay, so I went to a state judging contest for livestock and dairy, and completely bombed the livestock classes. It was like I either scored the very best, or I absolutely failed, and in the end the bad vanquished the good (so typical, don't you think?). In Dairy Judging, however, I did really well, and actually ended up placing 1st in my age group. Good news, right? Wrong. My older brother, Ty, scored a 190 to my 189. While for my laid back, modest friends this might not seem like such horrible information, I'm sure my competitive friends understand how truly devastating it was. To make things worse, my brother has an oversized ego - I honestly don't know how he makes it through doorways without someone deflating his head each time. He, being the jerk that he is, won the adult division, beating his former ag teachers in he process (I swear his head inflated right before my eyes!). I would have been happy for him, but there is absolutely NO satisfaction in being beat with ONE POINT! Today,my world took a turn for the best. The official scores came in, and I BEAT TY!!! I had written down all of the classes and scored them, and I miscalculated somewhere (actually, it was the one Ty helped me with,so I'm not sure it was an accident), so my actual score was a 191! Ty hasn't answered the phone yet, but I'm sure he's seen the results . I can't say I blame him for blocking all communication; a Junior in college was beat by a Freshman in highschool, who, I might add, has never (officially) judged Dairy Cattle before! PLUS I'm his younger sister! I'm pretty sure my horror at the original news is nothing close to his current disgrace.

Anyways, enough gloating, I just had to share! He'll never hear the end of this one, not in a million years .

I'm going to the district competition for Soils Evaluation in FFA tomorrow, but I think I might fall apart before I make it there!

Last night I dreamt about my study card, and I woke up mumbling about soil textures and slopes! The worst part is, I memorized every detail on my notes, and for the life of me i can't remember any of it! I've been studying nonstop, but its gotten to the point where my hands are shaking and I can't talk sense to anybody; my mom just asked me if I've been using drugs! I know I shouldn't get so worked up, but I can't help it! I keep having to stop myself from grabbing my notes and going at it again, because I know that I need to calm down and compose myself a little!

Sorry I'm rambling, but I really need the distraction so I don't end up in a psych ward. For anyone who read all the way through this, thanks, and I'm sorry I spent this entire journal talking about my poor, pathetic self. I know this doesn't even begin to redeem my selfishness, but I would love it if everyone would tell me how they've been doing; it seems like i haven't talked to any of you in ages!

Alright, sorry and thanks again, I love you all,

~Manda

Not that i expected any of you to notice my absence...

But, just in case one of you DID notice and wants to know where I was, here's the run-down:
First, I've been working in fields all summer and, as a result, neglected to check my deviantART account
Then, three weeks ago, i spent a week at the county fair showing and selling my steer
The next week i went camping, where i stayed for another week, came home for a day, and then went to the Oregon Coast for my cousin's wedding, where i spent three days
this past week i've been catching up, and i finally uploaded some more deviations

For those few who are on my WatchList, i'm sorry for the huge compilation of crummy pictures i spent this afternoon flinging at you

So, now that I have made good on my promise to mizbnan to update my journal, i bid you goodnight!
