Oh man, Valentine's Day almost always sucks

And of course this year was no exception. The actual 14th of February was most likely the least love-involved day these last three days, honestly. Long story short(ish), here:

So like, it was kinda complex, actually. I'll start with my problems. So here's the deal. I like Valerio, who likes Ginevra, who doesnt like him back and likes Mateo who is currently single. That used to be the deal. Then of course on the day of everything got worse. I told Valerio i like him, (through Giulia..) and then he didn't hear, i think. So then, Ginevra tells me that Valerio told her that he likes a girl in Sicily when she told him she didnt like him. So then i was like dude why didnt u tell me?! she was all like uh i dunno.... So then i felt really stupid. So my friend Juliane (shes Brazilian) who knows i like Valerio, was like, "Are you OK?" cuz apparently i was looking..... sad and thoughtful, as someone once told me. I was all like nothing.... and glanced a little at Valerio, (i couldn't help myself, he's kinda cute...) and she was like oh, i think i know whats going on.... and then she ran over to Valerio and was like, "What did you do?!"x2. And he was like what? and she said, Subin likes you and now you made her upset. What did you do?!" (i wasn't here, i was walking in another direction) so he was like really?! and she totally blabbed (yeah, thanks so much, man) and then he was all quiet. Of course, by then i was pretty much over it, cuz i dont hold on to grudges. Then we went to lunch i was staring at my lunch like cuz it was gross, man. it was like some kinda soup, with these weird floating objects....... and he saw me and was all like cuz he thought he made me do that, which wasn't true. At the end of lunch, he kept talking to his friend, who told my friend, who told me, that turns out, Valerio didn't like the Sicilian girl, she liked him. then i was like cuz i felt seriously stupid now, being upset over nothing. He's not talking to me, but i don't need to worry cuz i know that he knows that Ginevra doesn't like him, and that he laughed when i made a joke, so i'm cool. Anyway, it was like this at the beginning,

MEVALERIOGINEVRA MATEO
GINEVRAVALERIO

And then it was like,

MEVALERIOS.G & GINEVRAMATEOSOME GIRL FROM BELLA MONTE.

Which was really confusing. And then it was all like,

MEVALERIOS.G
VALERIOGINEVRA MATEOSOME GIRL

And then the day after that, it was a bit worse, honestly.

Ok so see today was even more complex than yesterday!!!! So like today my friends urged me into making Giulia tell valerio I like him again, and then she said that valerio had a note for me, but only if I told him I like him, or if I gave him a note saying i like him. I was like to Giulia, what if it's a note saying he doesn't like me, what if?!??!?!? And she was like, well, valerio told me this other thing, but I'm not supposed to tell you. I was like, please, I'll be ur best friend!!!! And she laughed and was like fine, I'll tell you. U don't have to worry about it being a bad note, you don't even have to tell him you like him! He likes you!! So I was like, ...... No seriously, what did he say? And she was telling the truth and he had a note in his hand, and he told my friend he liked her last year through a note, but I put his note in his jacket pocket, and I don't think he got it, and it's so hard to type on the iPad, and omg I'm freaking out!!!! I also helped my Friend out with her love life, because I made a deal that if she tells her crush she likes him, I tell valerio. And I told valerio, so she has to tell Alessandro . And Ginevra's going to tell Mateo, even though she thinks he likes someone.

Yeah, I know it's got some present tense verbs, but I had to cut and copy from an email, so. And finally, today!

Today, was amazingly pretty good. For me anyway. Poor Ginevra, though. Mateo loves a girl from Milan. Oh the heartbreak! But anyway, I walked to my seat this morning at school, and on my chair, there was a note. Now I can't tell you exactly what the note said, but let's just put it at I had a moment of utter bliss. Giulia, (She's like Hermes, Herald of the Gods. Or maybe more like Isis....) hadn't disappointed. So I was all happy, with the note in my pocket and everything. It's just, he didn't talk to me. He didn't even look at me, hardly. So of course, that planted the seed of doubt in my mind. If a guy likes a girl, shouldn't he, i dunno, act like it? I thought. Then Ginevra had to go and tell me that Emanuele liked to forge love letters and blow girls' minds up. Like, not an explosion, but you know what I mean. So of course I went insane trying to find out if it was really Valerio, I did handwriting analysis's and see Valerio spelled this one word wrong, (which I found cute, honestly) and when I asked him how to spell it, he spelled it right. So I was like convinced that Emanuele had forged it, until the end of the day, when Giulia (All Hail!) just asked him, (how does she do that?!) and he said that yes, he wrote it. So no harm done. Hurrah!

Busy days...

GAHUAHAGHAHAGAH~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!! Well, that pretty much expressing my feeling throughout the past 3 days. Ok, so on Friday, (which happened to be a palindromic date, 11.02.2011 I think palindromic dates are unlucky) when I was going to Italian Class, I missed my bus. Actually, I was at the bus stop, standing there, you know? And then, it just goes right past me! Seriously?! So I was just standing there with my mouth open, like, "What?" I had to run to the nearest bus stop for the second fastest bus. Luckily, I caught it and managed not to be late. It gets worse. The second I enter the other school, I look around and whack! this arm swings onto my neck. I couldn't breathe for a second. That arm was thick! It was a male teacher, gesturing at something, I guess. Then when I got to class, I fell out of my chair. I don't even know why, it's just I sit down and whoop, I'm back on the ground. Back at Sanzio, things didn't get much better. Well, I could go on, but long story short, my friend and I are having.... boy problems. I'll talk about it later. After school, my friend (a different one) came to my house, and I tried to show off my vast computer knowledge (All Hail!) but then of course my laptop had to come across a bug or something, and broke down. Saturday would have been amazing if someone (cough! sister cough!) hadn't come along. My best friend Ginevra B, Valerio, and Valerio's sister, Sveva I think came on a hike with my mom, Ash, and me. Ok so I think I already explained this, but there's like this freaky love triangle-ish thing going on. Valerio likes Ginevra, but I like Valerio, and Ginevra likes Mateo, who is currently single. Ginevra keeps telling Valerio she doesn't like him, but the first time she told him, he cried. Poor boy! She knows I like him, of course. We don't keep secrets from each other. Most of the time. Valerio was still kinda upset at the hike, like all, "I'm just here for bird-watching, at that's all I have time for." There was an amazing view at the top of the mountain that we hiked up, called, "The Cross" But Valerio peeked through his binoculars in one sweep and that was it. Apparently, in Italy, two lovers build a little tower out of rocks beside the road, and when the rocks fall down, the love is broken. Bit risky, if you ask me. Somebody kept knocking over the towers, and Ginevra and I carefully rebuilt them, because we both had hopes for the future. Bernardo, Ginevra's little bro followed Valerio around. I don't know why. Boys. Anyway, Ginevra, Sveva and I played Lost. We built a little campsite, and then when straightening a log Ginevra got her hands all ashy, we used a little bit of ice rubbed onto a tissue (clean, of course) Sveva had and used it as a wet wipe. Yeah, we had a bit of fun. I kept relating all of our happenings to horror movies. The angry, arguing couple (Valerio and Ginevra) are yelling at each other (true story) and then, we hear a dramatic, drawn-out scream. Bernardo. Vale, Gini, and I whip around. We hear a howl.... suddenly, I disappear. Another scream. Valerio and Ginevra turn to each other and gulp. +DRAMATIC HORROR MUSIC+ Or another version, all is fine on the family hike, (Valerio= Dad, Ginevra= Mom, Bernardo= Child, Me= Helpful Aunt, Sveva=Grandma) and then we stop at a crossroad. Is it called crossroad? Probably not. So, a path, and then at a certain section, it splits into two diff. paths, kay? Dad and Mom start arguing about which way to go. (Boys will never ask for directions, I've watched enough movies and read enough books to know that) When suddenly, Grandma notices that Bernardo is missing. "Bernardo! Bernie!! Where are you?!" (By now, the moon is up in the night sky) We hear a child scream, and then a anguished howl. Bet you can tell this is a werewolf one. Long story short, Bernardo turns into a werewolf and we all die. I just love happy endings. When we got home, we watched a lot of movies, including Scooby-Doo (something something, curse something mummy), The Last Airbender, Avatar (with the blue monkey aliens) and Tangled, which I really liked. The first sentence.
"This is the story of how I died." I was like, What?! And by the way, Eugene, Flynn Rider is a lot better name. Sunday is fine, I watched Big Time Crush, my brand new favorite episode. It's so funny!! And Carlos acts really stupid, which is cute, in a way.

No Time to Talk and British Fever

Sometimes, the most irritating thing about living in Italy is (other than, of course, the language barrier) the time zone. Most of the time, I can't online chat with my friends of our email accounts because I'm 6 hours ahead of theme. Making it hard to find a time when we're both on, except sometimes on the weekends. Unfortunately, my friends, unlike myself, don't stick to their laptops/computers all the time. (or so I've heard) Most of them don't come on a lot on the weekends. + They get out of school earlier than me by like 2 hours!!! So not fair! And another thing, they give homework on the weekend, and not (usually) on weekdays. That's just wrong. But, and yes I dare to say but, there's always a bright side. Literally. Ask me anything, and I'll find a bright side. Not that I'm really that optimistic. Anyway, I get to make new friends, meet foreign people, eat new foods, and best of all, in March, I'M GOING TO ENGLAND!!!! No, seriously! Not London, sadly, but this little town in Dudley. It's called Stourbridge. I think. See, my school has a partner in Stourbridge, called Hamdingles. Odd, I know right? Plus, listen to this, it's on Old Ham Road. It's almost too much. But I don't care, I'm going to England for a week with some of my class and some of the other 5th grade class. Yeah, I said "some". That's because see, we can't take everyone (because I guess we can't take everyone!) so we had this sort of lottery, well, not really. The teacher just handed out the forms to select people, alright? And I'm in! +does happy dance+ o(^.^)o (o^) o( )o (^o) o(^.^)o(dances in a circle) Most of my friends are in too, so I'm happy. Unfortunately, people that... let's just put it at people I don't like, are coming too. We're going to ride an airplane, and stay for a week. Everyone gets a partner that they sit next to and share a room with (girls with girls and boys with boys, obviously), so I hope it's a girl I like. My best friend's coming, so hopefully..... Anyway, I don't want to jinx the trip already so I won't talk about luck. I found out a shocking.... thing this week. So remember how Ginevra was Valerio's girlfriend last year? I like him now. +screams+ I can't believe I just said that. Anyway, it's because, see Ginevra and Valerio's parents are like bff's, and they went to Germany together last year. (imagine, on the plane, the adults talking about i dunno, politics and stuff, and then Gini and Vale look at each other. "Hi." "Yo.") and Emanuele said that they were on a honeymoon. Which is, if you think about, really funny. But I'm getting off the topic. Well, now they hate each other. And I am sooo cool with that. Plus, my friend Cristina is in love with a boy she hated last month. What is up with this place? His name is Alessandro, and he has brown Justin Bieber hair, and a retainer that blurs his speech. He's funny, I'll give him that much. She loves him so much, that when he kicked her this one time, she sighed, and I was like, "What'chu sighing about?" and then she was all, swooning and said that he kicked her with love. Seriously? Is it already Valentine's day or something! Of course, that's around the time I started liking Valerio. (shudders) Not all the time, obviously. Not when he's being stupid or anything. It's just when he's talking/thinking/laughing/working he gets this sparkle in his blue eyes, and his laugh is so sweet! I told my friend (who still likes her ex!!!) and she nodded wisely.
"You're not an idiot. Valerio's a beautiful boy."
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK! AND I'M GOING TO ENGLAND!! WHOOOOO!!!!

This Post's Song is (ha I bet you didn't think I'd do this bit) Freak the Freak Out - Victoria Justice. Just look it up, I'm too tired to post the Html.

BIG TIME RUSH!!!!

Well. Well. I haven't been on in forever and that's because I've been incredibly busy. (Not really, but that's the most efficient excuse I've come across so far.) I, my laptop, have changed. I really like this band, Big Time Rush now. They also have a TV sitcom show. It's a musical comedy. It's about 4 hockey players from Minnesota that become a singing group in L.A with the help of Gustavo Rocque. Their picture is on the left.( I find this picture remarkably good, It makes James look better than he usually does) I really like their songs, which you can find on Youtube, or Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush link,
http://www.nick.com/shows/big-time-rush.
I recommend Beat that Beat, its 's a pretty cool game. Their songs are all amazing, but I really like Big Night and I Know You Know which features Cymphonique. My favorite character is Carlos Garcia, played by Carlos Pena Jr, pictured to the right. I think he's the funniest. In the show, he always wears a black hockey helmet, for no apparent reason. Score 1 for randomness. That and he's always smiling. Like in that picture above, he's the only one smiling. Some people look better in that grim expression, and others, (like Carlos) look better smiling. Or just like to smile, I guess. Ever since I saw the first episode of BTR, I loved it. It's really funny, but at times it can be serious. Like in Big Time Concert, a movie, or double episode, or whatever you call it. In the beginning, when I went to Wikipedia and searched up Big Time Rush, (I do my research) I couldn't believe it. They're so old! Carlos Pena and Logan Henderson, (at the top pic, the one with the open jacket and striped shirt) are both 21!!! Kendall Schmidt (I have a hard time spelling that) and James Maslow are 20. James is the one in the black shirt with the dog tag. Kendall is the one that's not Carlos. If you can't figure out who's who, go get a life! If you already have one, go on Youtube and watch their show! The best versions so far that I know are from Dorus12's channel, it's got pretty much all of their episodes. (Except for Big Time Photo Shoot 1/2. It got blocked worldwide) Gotta warn you though, he mirrored them all so that Youtube wouldn't get rid of them. That was a surprisingly long post. I was going to just write a few lines.... Oh Well. You can buy their songs on iTunes, or just look them up on Youtube. Remember, Carlos is the best! You may think about changing your mind when you watch some episodes, but don't! CARLOS IS THE BEST! Never Forget That!! Oh and by the way, Katie Knight is played by Ciara Bravo. Just a little note. Bye! See you next post!

Enjoy!!

aah!!! betrayal!!!!

I am in shock. And disbelief. And mourning.
The Reason:
One of my best friends, Ginevra Bertamini, was Valerio's girlfriend for a week last year. How do I know this?
At Sanzio, Friday lunch is Gossip Day. This weeks topic was Crushes. I learned a lot of stuff, like when they were 7, Elia and Flavia kissed. But then the hurtful part happened. Turns out, Christina liked Valerio. She knows I like him, so she said, "In first grade, I liked Valerio. But now, bleh." I stared at the lunch table for a bit, then joined back in. Only to be blown back. Juliane told me that Valerio and Ginevra had been together for a week last year. I, hoping hard that she was lying, asked Valerio. He said, "Only at school!" And then Juliane said that they kissed! I said in a hollow voice, "Did you see them?" And she shook her head but said that she had heard them. And I didn't believe that part. But now, I feel like there is no purpose in my life. I should die. What's wrong with me?! He's just a guy. We're not even very good friends. Gah, I'm ashamed of myself, I think I'll stop now........

Hurrah, Paint, Aprons, and Tigers!!!

Fate has destined this day..... to be the day that Valerio comes back to school, healthy, full, and in one piece! Today's first lesson was English, and we usually do Gym on Friday, but these days it's way too cold, so we do Drama instead. It's usually done in either the English Classroom, (Rehearsing the plays) our classroom, (Writing the script, introducing a new story) or the Art Room. (Drawing and painting the sets) So we've already done 2 plays, but this was the first one that we actually had to write. We were given a book, and half an hour to read it, and the weekend to write a script. My group, (Valerio, Lorenzo, Bruno, Ginevra A., Chiara, Martina and me) got the hardest book, 'A Nice Walk in the Jungle.' The class and a teacher go on this nature walk, and this huge snake picks the kids off and eats them, one by one. The teacher doesn't notice until the very last child has been eaten, and then she punches the snake on the nose and ties him in a big knot around a tree. Yeah. So we just made one set, the jungle. We were finishing up painting it today. See there's this huge killer monkey in the middle, and me and Bruno call it Bob, and Valerio and Lorenzo call it Steve.
"Bob!" "Steve!" "Bob!" "Steve!" "Steve!" "Bo- Hey, wait a second!"
And Mrs. Elena said that we had to 'work in silence' so in other words, everybody whispered as much as possible. Me and Valerio helped painting with the main background, and then with the details. Valerio drew this amazing tiger, it was really good, and I helped paint it. I made its eyes green, even though Valerio wanted them blue, like his. I argued that tiger's don't have blue eyes, which they don't, I think. Then he splashed this huge black blob onto my apron. Resulting in me painting his eyebrows yellow. And then me getting a red streak in my hair. But anyway, it was awesome, and I became just that much closer to Valerio. :)
