How Do You Spell G.E.D.?
Time: 2:52 P.M.
I'm Wearing: "United We Stand" shirt and shorts.
My Hair Is: In a ponytail.
I Last Ate: Cooler Ranch Doritos.
Holly's Song Pick of the Day: "Once and For All"--Da Newsies
________________________________________________________
Sooooo, I took the G.E.D. test today. I spent the whole of yesterday studying for it, only stopping to eat and use the restroom. I think yesterday was the first day in Holly History that I didn't watch any TV. Wiggy.
I have a pretty good feeling about how I did on the test, except... except for the first part of the math test. That crap is SO FREAKING HARD! I hate math! *Kicks math until it dies*. Buuuuut it's okay if I failed the math portion because I can take just that part over for the wondermous price of $9.00.
The English portion of the test included an essay, which asked the question, "Some people are famous. If you were, what would you want to be famous for?" So I went into two pages of extreme detail about the fact that I would like to be famous for filling out the most online surveys a person can. To demonstrate my point, I thought I'd put one in here now! Strictly for educational purposes, of course.

I Had a Smile on My Face & I Sat Up Straight
Today, my dad and I worked on math together in preparation for the G.E.D. test I'll be taking on Friday. My sunburn is peeling muchly, but the swelling in my eyelids has lessened considerably, so that's good. I think I scared the people at Fazoli's with my second-degree sunburn, though.
Since nothing very exciting happened today (except that I got to read more of Mondie's AWESOME Newsies fan fic), I'm going to post some lyrics that remind me very much of how I felt in high school. This song mainly reminds me of how things were the year I started at Carman-Ainsworth.
"Unwanted" By Avril Lavigne
All they did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh, yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you
[chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me out
Make me go away
No, I just don't understand why
you won't talk to me
It hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you
[chorus]
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me out
Make me go away
Make me go away
I tried to belong
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
It's been so long
I'll write this song
That's what it takes
[chorus x2]
Make me go away
Make me go away

Father/Daughter Bonding @ Cedar Point
Time: 12:15 A.M.
I'm Wearing: "United We Stand" shirt, jeans and flip-flops.
My Hair Is: A horrible, windblown mess.
I Last Ate: Cake from Bill Knapps in Maumee, Ohio.
Holly's Song Pick of the Day: "From My Head to My Heart"--Evan and Jaron
________________________________________________________
I just got back from at day at Cedar Point, and I must say, it was pretty swell. Last night, I cried hysterically about the fact that Zach refused to go with us, but now I'm okay... except for the fact that I've got like, 3rd frickin' degree sunburns everywhere! Ow.
Dad and I drove all the way to Yipsilani (uh... however you spell it), listening to Avril Lavigne, Mandy Moore, 'N Sync and my very own burned CD of The Best of Harry Potter Fan Fiction. Yes, I am a nerd. Then we stopped and ate at Bob Evans. Then we drove all the way to good ol' Sandusky, Ohio.
When we got into the park, we headed straight for The Blue Streak, which was a coaster I'd never been on. It was pretty fun, but I've really got to be honest here... I don't much like the feeling of my stomach dropping. It... *shudders* bothers me. I'm kind of a mild-coaster kinda gal, I think.
Next, we headed over to Calypso, which was one of my fun, spinning around-and-around really really fast rides. *Giddily* I love those! So then we went on even more of my kind of rides like The Scrambler and The Matterhorn. My dad gets really sick on my type'a rides, though, so we had to cool it and eat gormet pretzels with smoothies, then we got on the Cedar Downs, the racing horses (tee hee!).
Then we went on the Wild Cat, which is my very favorite roller coaster. I like it because there isn't very much stomach-dropping involded; just speediness, lots of loops and little hills. But while we were waiting in line for that ride, my dad complained that his back was really hurting him, so he propped himself up on the bars with his arms. I tried it too, but it didn't work out so well for me... I pulled a muscle in my shoulder and *OWWWCH*, does it hurt!
After the Wild Cat, Dad and I sat through the Cedar Point show, "Snoopy Rocks On Ice!" I've gotta tell ya... I loved that show! Man, they've got like, Olympic-talented skaters performing! And those people in the big Peanuts costumes must have had a really hard time skating. Oh yes, and Dad slept through that, by the way.
Next, we went on these awesome rides (you know, my spinny kind). There was one called Troika, and the other one was called Chaos. They were both SO... MUCH... FUN! Chaos takes you up on this wheel, turns you sideways, and then the car you're in starts flipping over and over and over, upside down, and it looks like you're going to smash you face on the cement! But it was so cool! That, however, made my dad really sick, so we had to chill for a bit, and watch the poor suckers on the Power Tower.
After I got whip-lash on the bumper cars (an old lady rammed into the front of my car while Dad crashed into the back of my car), we went on the Gemini, which is a favorite coaster of mine. I like the whole blue and red racing theme they've got goin' on... super fun. I am a screamer, though. *Screams at top volume to get point across*.
Then we went on the Mine Ride, which just... sucks. All it does is jerk you around a little bit. Next, we headed over to one of my favorite rides in the whole park, Thunder Canyon, where we got soaked. Thankfully, we brought extra clothes.
Finally, Dad and I went on the Giant Wheel, and I went on Schwabinchen. Then we went to The Hat Rack (or something) and I got this spiffy China-person hat. It's wonderful.
I sure am sunburned... ow. Welp, that's it. Hope ya'll had as good a day as I did!

I just got back from at day at Cedar Point, and I must say, it was pretty swell. Last night, I cried hysterically about the fact that Zach refused to go with us, but now I'm okay... except for the fact that I've got like, 3rd frickin' degree sunburns everywhere! Ow.
Dad and I drove all the way to Yipsilani (uh... however you spell it), listening to Avril Lavigne, Mandy Moore, 'N Sync and my very own burned CD of The Best of Harry Potter Fan Fiction. Yes, I am a nerd. Then we stopped and ate at Bob Evans. Then we drove all the way to good ol' Sandusky, Ohio.
When we got into the park, we headed straight for The Blue Streak, which was a coaster I'd never been on. It was pretty fun, but I've really got to be honest here... I don't much like the feeling of my stomach dropping. It... *shudders* bothers me. I'm kind of a mild-coaster kinda gal, I think.
Next, we headed over to Calypso, which was one of my fun, spinning around-and-around really really fast rides. *Giddily* I love those! So then we went on even more of my kind of rides like The Scrambler and The Matterhorn. My dad gets really sick on my type'a rides, though, so we had to cool it and eat gormet pretzels with smoothies, then we got on the Cedar Downs, the racing horses (tee hee!).
Then we went on the Wild Cat, which is my very favorite roller coaster. I like it because there isn't very much stomach-dropping involded; just speediness, lots of loops and little hills. But while we were waiting in line for that ride, my dad complained that his back was really hurting him, so he propped himself up on the bars with his arms. I tried it too, but it didn't work out so well for me... I pulled a muscle in my shoulder and *OWWWCH*, does it hurt!

Oh man, my dad and I rented Orange County tonight, and it was so good! I was actually expecting it to suck, so I was pleasantly surprised! When it was over, I turned to Dad and said, "Wow. I thought that was really good!" to which he replied, "Oh. I thought that was really mediocre!" But really, it was spiffy as all get-out.
So then my dad went to bed, and I got struck by The Lightening Bolt of Inspiration. I immediately fired up the computer, opened up Word, and typed like there was no tomorrow. That's right, now there are two more chapters in my Harry Potter fan fic, "Harry Potter--The Bachelor." *Shrieks like she's at an 'N Sync concert* I'm so thrilled that my inspiration crushed and destroyed my temporary writer's block!
Well, I'm just bubbling over with anticipation, not knowing what people will think of my fic. So I thought I just might post an excerpt from "Harry Potter--The Bachelor" right here on FOD! Please tell me what you think! Here a scene from it:
________________________________________________________
Harry felt his stomach drop. Twenty-five beautiful girls were walking toward him, all dressed in glamorous dresses and beaming at him. Cho caught his eye immediately, and he couldn’t help but gawk at her in amazement.
She wore a dazzling red, strapless gown, and her hair was done up in a stylish twist. That twist kind of reminded him of Hermione’s hair at the Yule Ball last year. He laughed, remembering how that twist had fallen to pieces when she fought with Ron that night, and his nerves lessened considerably. That’s what I’ll do, he thought. When I get too nervous during this, I’ll just think of my friends. Then he turned his attention to Bagman.
“Hello, I’m Ludo Bagman, and I’ll be your host. I’m here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where we’ll be broadcasting from all month long! Now, let’s meet our bachelor… Harrrrry ‘The Boy Who Lived’ Potter!” The Memory Capturer turned toward Harry.
“Harry is a fifteen-year-old guy in need of a prom date! He stands at five-foot-four, has black hair and green eyes. Harry spends his free time playing for the Gryffindor House Quidditch team where he’s a Seeker. Now, let’s meet the witches!”
The girls began to walk toward Harry. They all paused to smile and pose for the camera, and then proceeded to shake Harry’s hand and introduce themselves. First up was Cho. “Hey Harry, I’m Cho.”
He smiled back. “I know. You look—”
But he never got to finish his sentence; more girls were already lined up to meet him. “Hey, I’m Jen.”
“I’m Kelly.”
“I’m Brayden.”
Harry couldn’t catch half of their names, let alone take a good look at them, they were moving so fast. At long last, Bagman said, “And those are the witches! Join us after these messages for more of The Bachelor! …And we’re clear! Good job, Harry, bravo. C’mon, grab some floo powder, we’re headed to Hogsmeade!”
“What?” Harry said, caught way off guard. “Tonight?!”
“Well yeah,” Bagman said in a matter-of-fact way. “Come on, the girls are already there!” ________________________________________________________
Well, what do you think? Is this pure crap, or is it okay? I'd really appreciate it if ya'd drop me a note and tell me. Thanks! Ah, it's storming outside! *Hides under desk*.
