So, I have entries on other sites that I figure I should put here.
First, Facebook notes.
Gender Confusion
December 26, 2006
6:21 PM
I think maybe I'm a little transgender. I always wonder what being a boy would be like. I don't want to stop being a girl, though. If you read this... wooh! Don't make a big deal of it. You can talk to me about it, and... I dunno. I would really appreciate if you guys would call me Paul for a while, so I can see how it feels. Thanks.
Johanna/Paul
No more gender confusion... but the problems have yet to end.

Well, not really... I do think it would be cooler if I was a guy... but I don't think I actually am a guy in a girl's body. So, nope, not trans. I don't think... but I don't feel good. I don't think it's about that, either. I just don't feel good about anything right now. (On another note, you guys don't have to call me Paul, but you can if you want... ^___^ ... What? It's a cool name!) I'm so tired... and stuff... I hate my house. Maybe that's the problem. I want to move or live somewhere else, not necessarily Guilford, but I don't want to leave the Guilford school system. Oh, it's be cool to live in the center of town, I'd love that, because there's sidewalks, and it's never quiet, and it's near the shops and the library, it's even within (long) walking/biking distance to the beach! I's have my own room, it's be awesome! But, it's not gonna happen. No way. {sigh} And my anxieties have been acting up a lot lately. And I can't focus on stuff for longer than a half hour (including movies) I seriously think I should see a doctor. Speaking of movies, though, I saw Night at the Museum today, and it was really good! I really recommend it! It's full of things that really don't make sense or aren't quite thought out, you could literally pick it apart, but it was so entertaining that it didn't matter. I think I'll buy it when it comes out (a rarity!) But then we went to Barnes and Nobel and I actually forgot we'd gone to the movies in the first place... somethings not right with my head...
Like psychic powers! I gots shuper sykick powahs, man! I can no stuff is gonna happen befor it does! (only by seconds, but lol whatev) Liek i new we wern't gonna catch the subway train in NY even though it was right in frnt of us and rite befor we got on the dors closed. I so smrt. And i no wat song is gonna play next on the ipod.
Smart, but very tired... eh... typing is exhausting my arms... meh...bleh...feh...geh...jeh...aeh...beh...ceh...deh...eeh...feh...geh...heh...ieh...jeh...keh...leh...meh...neh...oeh...peh...
Oh noes!!! Bad news...

"Hey, where's my bed?"
December 30, 2006
8:10 PM
Well, my Grandpa is going to be moving in to my house again. Not looking forward to it, but whatever. However, unlike last time this happened, we will not be borrowing my Grandmother's spare bed; instead, my bned has been taken.
This is not the first time this has happened, in fact a while ago the same happened when my brother came to stay.
Oddly enough, I'm not really mad. I could've said no, or maybe even convinced them to take Becky's bed, but I was, and still am, fine with giving up my bed. Now I have my new feather down comforter and my regular comforter and my blankets on the floor in a Japanese futon-ish thing. It's not very soft, and I'll probably hurt in the morning, but it's for my Grandpa, so it's okay.
Just a heads up, basically, that I might be a little grumpy. Weh.
it sure looks cool, though. I was almost happy because my room looks slightly different now. It's more spacious, very feng-shui.
...
Yes. A note about my bed...hmmm...
Of Emos and Pyros.
February 12, 2007
8:18 PM
I've been mad lately. About nothing. Crazy intolerant of anyone annoying at this time. So, people like Shaun, Tyler, Alicia, Chris S., and such, I won't even pretend to be nice to them, probably all this week. At the same time, I'll be nice to Molly (Kitty), Artem, Megan W., Mallory, and meh parents. I don't want anyone else to be mean to them for me. I will be mean to who I want. That is all.
...
Just kidding. Not done. I'm turning into a pyro! I keep having the urge to light matches. And I did. Then I blew it out. And, as for the title, emo refers to me as well. Just yesterday I was in my room with a pin and I was barely breaking the skin (Like, so it wouldn't hurt or bleed, just the top layer) and poking it back out so the needle stuck, but then I realized that it constituted as cutting and it was weird, so I stopped. But I didn't want to stop. It was cool. On the same note, I could totally sew a piece of thread onto the outer layer of my skin, which is actually less extreme than body piercings and tattoos. I probably would, but people would think it's creepy/emo/cutting myself/self mutilation/dumb/weird/unhealthy/gross/ painful/whatever. I totally would otherwise, though. In case you have no idea how it would not hurt, imagine this: Have you ever been sewing or something, or working with wood? If not, go away, you're annoying. Anyway, you can stuck or get a splinter, that you didn't even notice, because you didn't feel it. It's under the skin, but only the first layer, so you can still see it underneath it. It might even be poking out the other side. Creepy, yet cool. Scary, yet unpainful. And sure as hell not gonna get infected. Yes. I'm weird.

Okay, go back and look at the previous note. Then come back.
This was originally an e-mail I sent to people. Then Alan replied. To all.
If you were one of the people I sent this to, you might not want to see this. If you weren't, God loves you. Or Allah (same thing), Buddha, Zeus/Jupiter, Tom Cruise, etc. Keep in mind that most of Alan's e-mails were in bright yellow and in 36 pt. font, and Ryan's last one was also quite large.
Alan: WHAT WHERE DID MIKE THOMAS GO
Me: He's in Wallingford. He comes to see me almost every weekend, now.
Alan:WHAT SCHOOL DOES HE GO TO NOW
Alan: OH YEAH i'M REALLY SICK I DIDN'T GO TO SCHOOL FOR 2 DAYS
Me: Uh, a Wallingford school... I dunno! WHY IS YOUR WRITING SO BIG AND IN CAPS?!
Me: ...Really? I... didn't notice...
Alan: WHY MIKE THOMAS GO TO WALLINGFORD
Me: Because. I'll tell you when he comes if you really want to see him. Then I'll rub it in your face.
Naomi: alan, you show a disturbing lack of email etiquette for someone of such apparent intelligence as yourself.
Me: Ha, ha. Naomi has no idea how Alan works. And... that everyone can read this.
Alexa: -cough-

Me: OH! Sarcastic... then it's funny... you should have written "sarcastic" in parenthesis or something.
Ryan: Now WHY am I getting all these emails? If you're going to have conversations about email etiquette, then keep me out of it, please.
Alan: OH YEAH ANYONE IN MY SCIENCE CLASS WHAT DID YOU DO IN CUDDY CLASS
Alan: WHAT WHO IS THE CAPTAIN WIFE
Dan: @|3X@(if you dont speak internet taalk alan itss alexa
Me: Okay, guys, my mom is getting these... because this is replying to ALL! Not that I care. Just watch your mouths... I love you, Mommy!
Dan: hey i didient Swear at all im just useing internet talk....HI MRS.Brancato

Dan: much what
Mary: Much better, I believe.
Wow, this is the busiest email conversation that I'm recieving but not a part of, so naturally I must change that.
Happy Valentines Day to Aleca, Jo, Alan, Mrs. Brancato, Cat, David Chen, Demi, Gabby, Jen, Jenny, Madison, Maggie, Mike, Molly, Owen, Shaun, Shelby, Steph, Mandy (happy birthday!), Tori, and Trevor.
My God, that was ridiculous....

Alexa: -sings- There ain't nothin' like a dame.....
But seriously, I got forty-five emails in the space of less than an hour...I think. And I read through them ALL, which was a complete waste of time. You didn't even talk about anything except the fact that we'd all be pissed off when we opened our email. Which I am.
So stop.
Oh, and Dan:
a) It's spelled NAOMI. Not Naiome.
b) Chatspeak needs to die.
c) You, being the one who talked the most during this little convo, need to find something better to do with your time.
Lexa out.
Dan: oaky well thanks for insulting me i feel less guilty about this now :) but sorry then

Alan (In an ironic response to a Valentine’s Day chain letter): I HATE THIS CRAP SPAM JUNK I WANT PIZZA
Ryan: Alan...please, for the love of Christ,
SHUT UP!!!
Owen: Johanna, why did everyone bombard my email account with 79 EMAILS!!?
Steph: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 110 EMAILS IN ONE NIGHT, GIVE IT A REST PEOPLES!
Then Owen Sent me, uhm, I’d say about 20 or so e-mails with the subject: >_< that all said “EMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” inside as retaliation… which I promptly deleted.
Me: It's not bothering me. It's just words. "OWEN! YOU MADE ME LOOK AT WORDS! THEN I HAD TO MOVE MY HAND A LITTLE TO DELETE THEM! YOU BASTARD!"
Owen: Muah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.... I bet your hand is in excrutiating pain. Besides, you earned it.
Me: It was actually Alan's fault.
Then I sent him four e-mails with >_< inside.
The Moral of the story is: It was Davidchen’s fault.
Anyway, I’m sorry but not really.

Laws of nature ruin more science fair projects
February 26, 2007
3:40 PM
I found this in The New Haven Register. It's by Dave Barry, and was originally in the paper on March 22, 1998. It's really funny:
Today's Topic for Young People is: How To Do A School Science Fair Project.
So your school is having a science fair! Great! The science fair has long been a favorite educational tool in the American school system, and for good reason: Your teachers hate you. Ha-ha! No, seriously, although a science fair can seem like a big "pain," it can help you understand important scientific principles, such as Newton's First Law of Inertia, which states: "A body at rest will remain at rest until 8:45 p.m. the night before the science fair project is due, at which point the body will come rushing to the body's parents, who are already in their pajamas, and shout, 'I JUST REMEMBERED THE SCIENCE FAIR IS TOMORROW AND WE GOTTA GO TO THE STORE RIGHT NOW!'"
Being driven to the store by pajama-wearing parents at the last minute is the most important part of any science fair project, because your project, to be legal, must have an Official Science Fair Display Board. This is a big white board that you fold into three sections, thus giving it the stability that it needs to collapse instantly when approached by humans. The international scientific community does not recognize any scientific discovery that does not have an Official Science Fair Display Board teetering behind it; many top scientists fail to win the Nobel Prize for exactly this reason.
Once you have returned home and gotten your display board folded into three sections (allow about six hours for this), it's time to start thinking about what kind of project to do. The prize winning projects are the ones that clearly yet imaginatively demonstrate a scientific principle.
So you can forget about winning a prize. Whaat you need is a project that can be done at 1 a.m. using materials found in your house. Ideally, it should also involve a minimum of property damge or death, which is why, on the advice of this newspapers---
(OMG, this guy forgot an apostrophe!)
---legal counsel, we are not going to discuss some of our popular project topics from previous years, such as "What Is Inside Plumbing?" and "Flame Proofing Your Cat." Whatever topic you select, your project should be divided into three parts: (1) The Hypothesis, (2) The Part That Goes After The Hypothesis and (3) The Conclusion (this should always be the same as the hypothesis).
The hypothesis --- which comes from the Greek words "hypot," meaning "word," and "hesis," meaning "that I am looking up in the dictionary right now" --- is defined as "an unproved theory, proposition, supposition, etc., tentatively accepted to explain certain facts." For example, a good hypothesis foryour science fair project might be: "There is a lot of gravity around." You could prove this by via an experiment in which you pick up various household items such as underwear, small appliances, siblings, etc., and observewhat happens when you let go of them. Your conclusion would, of course, be: "thereis a lot of gravity around." This would be a dramatically illustrated in your science fair exhibit by the fact your Official Science Fair Display Board was lying face down on the floor.
If that project sounds like to much effort, you might consider duplicating the one that my wife swears she din in the 7th grade late on the night before the science fair. It was called "Waves," and it consisted of a baking pan filled with water, and a pencil. "You swished the pencil around in the water, and it made waves," my wife explaned.
I asked her what scientific principle this project demonstrated, and, after thinking about for a moment, she answered: "The movement of water."
Impossible though it may sound, I did a project in 6th grade that was even lamer than that. It was called "Phases of the Moon," and it consisted of a small rubber ball that I had darkened half of by scribbling on it with a pen. You were supposed to rotate the ball, thus demonstrating that the phases of the moon were caused bt, I don't know, ink.
The total elapsed time involved in concieving of and constructing this project was maybe 10 minutes, of which at least nine were devoted to scribbling.. But it still might have been a success had it not been for the fact that some of my fellow students found it amusing to snatch up the moon and throw it, so that it became some sort of a gypsy exhibit, travelng around the Harold C. Crittenden Junior High School gym, landing in and becoming part of other projects, helping to demonstrate magnetism, photosynthesis, etc. So my project ended up being a sign saying "PHASES OF THE MOON" sitting on an otherwise bare naked table, the scientific implication being that the moonis a very moody celestial body that sometimes gets in a phase where it just takes off without telling anybody.
Of course, if you want to get a good grade, you have to do a project that will impress your teachers. here's a proven winner:
"HYPOTHESIS --- That (Name of Teacher) and (Nam eof Another Teacher) would prefer that I not distribute the photo I took of them when they were 'chaperoning' our class trip to Epcot Center and they ducked behind the cottage-cheese exhibit in the Amazing World Of Curds." Depending on the quality of your research, you might get more than a good grade form your teachers: You might get actual money! Yes, science truly can be rewarding. So why wait until the last minute to start your science fair project? Why not get started immediately on exploring the amazing world of science, without which we would not have modern technology. Television, for example.
Let's turn it on right now.

The Solution... perhaps...

Okay, if you didn't read my "Gender Confusion" notes, go read. Now. Otherwise... well, nothing will happen. D: Whatever.
Anyway, even though I've said I'm not transgender, I still feel like I'm not in the right body, but only 50 percent of the time. I was looking at YouTube videos, and stumbled across (see: searched for) some ftm transgender video diaries. They're really interesting (nldanger and notorayous are good ones). On one of the somments, someoone talked about relating to them, and being confused about not feeling female, but not feeling male either, and how when she was 17 she found out about the term genderqueer. I was like, "Genderqueer?!!1?one" So I looked it up on the almighty Wikipedia:
Genderqueer is a gender identity. A genderqueer person is someone who identifies as a gender other than "man" or "woman," or someone who identifies as neither, both, or some combination thereof. In relation to the gender binary (the view that there are only two genders), genderqueer people generally identify as more "both/and" or "neither/nor," rather than "either/or." Some genderqueer people see their identity as one of many different genders outside of man and woman, some see it as a term encompassing all gender identities outside of the gender binary, some believe it encompasses binary genders among others, some may identify as a-gender and some see it as a third gender in addition to the traditional two. The commonality is that all genderqueer people reject the notion that there are only two genders in the world. The term genderqueer is also occasionally used more broadly as an adjective to refer to people who are in some way gender-transgressive, and could have any gender identity (see Alternative Meanings, below).
That would be me... I feel like I'm both. (And I sure do get a kick out of it when someone thinks I'm a dude.)

Disclaimer: I'm not copying Mandy! I MEAN ERIK! GAUH!
Well, her- I mean him changing her---HIS name on Facebook reminded me. But I was clearly out(ish) before her. Him. GAUGH! This is proven here, here, and here.
I beat Mandy Erik.
So, on to the actual post, you may have noticed that I changed my Facebook name to Jo-Paul (and if you didn't, you need to leave. Right now.) This is because Mand-...Erik's namechange proved to me that it is possible to change one's Facebook name. And I had wanted to earlier. Paul it is, but I figured I'd keep the Jo purely for yay reasons. I will not cease to be Johanna, but I will add Paul to my names. Or... Pual. Pahl? Or P'ahL? No. I don't give a damn how you spell, just call me that at least half the time maybe please 'kay thanks. I guess it's good that it's over the summer, because now you'll see it on Facebook because I know you all visit my profile page daily and you'll be used to it by the next time you see me. Unless you see me in two days or something.
I am enjoying the HTML, how 'bout you?
Notes:
Shit, Alexa, I forgot to return the tablet to you.
Amanda, how do you gosh?
Heather, Hi.
Maggie, you fail at life.
Catherine, hangin' out today was fun!
Owen, prepare to play some video games!
Sara S,... Psh.
Davidchen, you're a bitch. Now go use your time powers.
Mike, hi.
Shelby, I dunno.
Tori, you were gone a LONNG time. Hi.
Sarah F, hi.
Ryan J, those shoes are mine, betch.
Naomi!
Aris, I dunno.
Demi, your art final was rad.
Dan, your plan backfired, I am thoroughly enjoying talking to the person from that YouTube video.
And, most importantly, Mandy... you are a fag.
(Yeah, I'm just putting these here so I have a reason to tag them so they'll read this friggin' thing.)

So, anyone else going to summer school?

Alrighty, I got a C+ in Algebra 1 level 1. That's not by any means great, or even good. But it's a passing grade. I got a B- on my last quarter, but I got a 55 on my final exam.
But, it's a passing grade. So, why am I going to summer school?
...because I just had to sign up for geometry level 1 next year. My grade as it is in just fine to go to level 2, but not level 1. Fine! Geometry Level 2 I'm fine with! Mrs. Wustrow said I had the potential to go to level 1, but my grades didn't refelct what she said. Whatever. I didn't do the homework, and now I'm getting the consequences. I deserve it, whatever.
BUT! Because I had chosen level 1 next year, they sent me a letter (and a call from Mrs. Lenz) saying that I wouldn't make it to level 1 next year, and that I could go to level 2 or do summer school (or repeat level 1 algebra, but that's for students that failed, and if I did that it would be very, very stupiid, and I suspect Mrs. Lenz would be like, "Whuh...?"). So, I really don't care what level I'm in, level 2 is for normal students, and I am a normal student. Level 1 is for more advanced kids, which I don't really qualify under as of right now. But my grade and the letter is somehow telling my parents: Your child is failing and it is necessary that she goes to summer school or her future will be destroyed because she is going to be using level 1 geometry throughout her entire life. What the eff? So, now I'm going to summer school, which is costing my parents $225, by the way, and since it is a level 2 algebra class (unlike what I took this year, level 1), I absolutely have to get an A, or else I can't go to level 1 geometry. AKA I WILL HAVE WASTED THAT ENTIRE MONTH GOING TO A 7:30 TO 10:00 CLASS AND $225 OF MY PARENTS MONEY FOR NOTHING! What the hell is wrong with level 2!?
