Off to LA!!!

Yay! Anyways, I haven't updated in a looooong time... Which actually translates to a few days. XD Back to the day when I had a Yahoo! Blog, I wouldn't post in it for like a few months at a time. XD But yeah, so Auntie came here on Friday with gifts! Yay! I got a little Hello Kitty thing that rocks it's head and waves, and a Swarovski crystal baby seal. (For those of you that don't know, I collect Swarovski crystal figurines. =D) Then Jess got three pairs of boots, and two Louis Vuitton bags. =P

Yeah, we haven't really done much. =/ But we're off to LA tomorrow!!! Yay! We're going to go to Disneyland, maybe California Adventure, Universal Studios, and shopping! Yay! I'm so excited!!! I can't remember ANYTHING about the last time I went to Disney. XDD But yeah, I shouldn't even be up right now, because we have to wake up at 8:30 tomorrow, and I am SO bad at waking up before 3 pm on holidays/weekends... But I'm bringing my laptop, so I'll either post on the way, or when I'm there. Sorry if I don't post for a few more days though, I haven't really been in the mood... =/ Don't know why... But whatever. I'm so psyched! W00t!!! =D

Billy Gilman ~ Oklahoma

Suitcase packed with all his things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
He don't wanna go
He thought he'd found his home
But with circumstances he can't change
Waves goodbye as they pull away
From the life he's known
For the last 7 months or so

She said, We've found a man who looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days
He knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there
Had he known it
Son, we think we found your dad in Oklahoma

A million thoughts raced through his mind
What's his name, what's he like
And will he be
Anything like the man in his dreams
She could see the questions in his eyes
Whispered, Don't be scared my child
I will let you know
What we know

About the man we found
He looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days
He knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there
Had he known it
You always said this was something that you wanted
Son it's time to meet your dad in Oklahoma

One last turn he held his breath
Till they reached the faint house on the left
And all at once the tears came rollin' in
And as they pulled into the drive
The man was waiting there outside
He wiped the worry from his eyes
Smiled and took his hand
And he said,

I'm the man who looks like you
Who cried because I never knew
About the boy in pictures that they showed me
Oh a rambler in my younger days
I knew I'd made a few mistakes
But I swear I would have been there
Had I known it
Never again will you ever be alone
Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma


I LOVE Billy Gilman! I actually found his music when I was looking at Connie Talbot's (another super huge child singing prodigy), and I was just like, "Wow..." Anyways, I love his music, and he has a GREAT voice!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

I know, I know, it's a bit late, but I sort of got carried away ripping open presents. Even if they aren't mine. XDD (I was actually watching Mythbusters, but whatever. =P)

Anyways, it's been a pretty awesome Christmas! I ALMOST caught Santa, I was sooooooo close!!! But he escaped... for like, the fifth time... =/ I got a ton of candy that he spilled though! candy canes, chocolate, gummies... Oh, and this weird cold, black object. It's sort of round. I can write with it! =D

Yeah, here's a big list of the people I need to thank, and what they got me (in no particular order):

Courtney ~ This totally adorable and hilarious kitten calendar (which is ironic because I really need to start planning out what events I have XD) and M&Ms!!! Sugar ftw!!!
Michelle ~ POLARKA!!! (For those of you not in the know, Polarka is my stuffed polar bear. Yay!!! So cute!!!)
Pink Bunny ~ These hella pretty earrings and that cell phone charm/necklace that I totally demolished during Mock Trial. XP
Lisa ~ This bee-yoo-tiful purple bracelet!!! (It doesn't fall off my wrist either, which is a super +++!!!)
Ellen ~ This coolio bath wash kit, complete with a card from EllenWorld!!! All hail QueenEllen!!!
Jung ~ Ferrero Rocher!!! More chocolate!!! W00t!!!
Vivian ~ The awesome Santa hat that I wore around all day while giving out goodie bags and candy!!! =D
Stepho ~ DELICIOUS cookies!!! Like... heaven!!! Then again, anything that's yummy and is packed full with sugar is heaven to me. =P
Brenden ~ Who didn't exactly give me a present, per se, but he did lend me his iTouch for all of bio!!! XD

Not to mention all of you with the awesome candy canes and chocolate, whom there are way too many of, like:

Lucy
Seohyun
Kevin
Robyn

And many others!!! I love you all!!!

Flight ~ Delayed

Basically, we had to pick up Jason and drop him off at the airport so that he could go home. XD It took us forever to get to Berkeley though; there was so much traffic!!! Then when we got there, Jess said that some dude named David could drop Jason off, but then David apparently couldn't, so... Then it was a pain putting everything in the trunk; Jess had like 6 bags plus a ton of purses and miscellaneous stuff. Compare that to Jason, who had ONE nice, organized suitcase, and a backpack.

Add that to more traffic. And three tired people with no room to sleep in. XD I ate a ton of SweeTarts too... I was hella hungry, but we were stuck in traffic. =O Then we found out Jason couldn't make his flight, since it was already like, 3:35 and his flight LEFT at 3:40... So we were like, let's get out of this, and just go eat...

But then Jason's mom called again, and she said the flight was delayed since almost no one was on board. XD We think it was probably because of the car accident (which was the cause for the traffic too). But it was delayed until 5pm, so we had time to go grab some In-N-Out (their burgers are really good, but their fries are like... not seasoned). Then we just dropped Jason off.

Mommy had to return some stuff at Marshall's so Jess and I went to Nordstrom Rack, which is a really confusing place full of lots of clothes that cost a lot and don't seem to be in any specific system of organization. o.o

And then I fell asleep on the way home. XD

Border's Gift Wrap Part II!!!

It wasn't as fun as the first day, but whatever. XD

We just wrapped presents. Except this time, we didn't have the chairs to put our sign on, so we actually had to have people advertise. XD Before Linda and Kevin came, I was advertising with our awesome sign. Basically, I was in my awesome Christmas outfit (red shirt, green skirt, white belt/tights, Santa hat), and dancing (well, shuffling right/left) and belting out Christmas carols every time someone came in the door. Hey, it worked though! I got way more customers that way than Linda and Kevin just standing by the door saying "Free Gift Wrap!" XD Then, I went down the line a few times, but I didn't have my boots on because they were stuffy, so this guy asked me why I didn't have any shoes on, so I was like, "Um... It's easier to run around advertising that way." XD Christina was like, "You should have said, 'I gift wrap with my feet! Duh!'" Haha. Then when we were wrapping, this one guy came over with 5 gift cards and made it a race between me and Christina, complete with narration (like the racetrack ones), which made me crack up so bad that I couldn't even wrap. Oh, yeah, we saw the guy who played I Spy with us on Saturday too!!!

Then Linda and Kevin came, and they basically just advertised for us. I tried to teach Kevin the proper way of advertising, but he refused to sing and dance. -.- Guys and their pride... Haha. Meanwhile, Christina and I had tons of customers who didn't care what type of gift wrap they had, so we gave them all fairies! Haha. The fairies are hella cute!!! XD We have to call them "magical little people" though, they've been called fairies, elves, angels, pixies... Then whenever we ran out of actual Christmas wrap, we just stole some from the counter. XD

Then Peter came again! Yay! We had to call him 3 times before he actually showed though. Haha, Christina and I are probably going to the movies with his on Christmas Eve, but we're not sure yet. Anyways, I was wrapping presents while he was here, and then he had to leave right after I finished, s I was like, "I didn't even get to talk with you!" XD Then Christina and I both got hugs, but I wouldn't let go of me (as in a really tight hug, like he's trying to kill you), so I just tried to choke him (for fun), but I don't think he felt it because he's tall. XD

Then we had this mob of sophomores. Riddy, Ellen, and Chey all came to help, but technically, they just sat there. And studied. Or read books. So I went and bought a Jamba Juice because I had nothing else to do. =P Kevin, Christina, and I were playing I Spy again, and we rock at that. =P Then I got tired, so I used Kevin as a pillow. But he ditched me. So I just slept on two chairs. XD

Then Kevin was talking about how his mom bet him $100 that he wouldn't get a girlfriend before junior year, so I was like, "You should just pretend someone's your girlfriend to get the $100." XD And I suggested Pink Bunny. But he didn't like that idea. XDD

Then Ellen, Riddy, Linda, and Kevin all left, so Christina and I went to Target for candy while Chey "guarded" the table. The Chewy SweeTart Minis are SOOOO good! Yummy! Then Chey left, so Christina and I just sat there reading magazines (well, taking the quizzes in there), eating candy, and wrapping the occasional present.

Total money earned was $914.20!!! Yay! That's like 45.5 backpacks! W00t!!!

Border's Gift Wrap... Part I!!!

Haha, it was hella fun! It was basically me and Christina the whole day, except from 1-3:30 pm, when Linda came. We kept ourselves entertained with these awesome snow globe/bouncy balls though. =P So for the first few hours, we were pretty busy wrapping presents and stuff, but we'd get these rush periods, then these lazy periods (we were reading magazines/books when we got a lazy period). Our parents both brought us McDonalds for lunch, which was rather funny. But I had to go promote every once in a while (we got sick of sitting around with nothing to do), so I'd go down the line for checkouts (it was HELLA long), and just keep saying, "There's free gift wrap in the cafe when you're done making your purchases." One time, this lady was like, "It'd be better if they just opened another cash register." It was sort of funny. Lots of people donated money and gave tips! There was this one guy that was like, "How much does this cost?" And we told him it was free, so he looked at us with this smile on his face and said, "No, of course it's not free!" And gave us $10. It was really nice. What was funny though, is that we'd say that $20 buys a backpack for a kids (full of school supplies and survival necessities), and lots of people would look for $20 to donate. =) Everyone's so nice around here...

Then this woman, DeeDee, was advertising her memoir, "Heart Knots," which was about her struggle to overcome a tumor which as wrapped around her heart. She was really, really nice, and Christina and I wanted to read her book, but she said that we were too young and shouldn't be exposed to that sort of thing. I'm going to read her book someday. Hey guys, if you have nothing better to do, go pick up a copy of "Heart Knots," okay?

But basically, Christina found this dude named Peter (she got his name when the dude at Seattle's Best Coffee called out his order), and just saw that he kept going in and out of Border's, so it was sort of weird. Then when Linda came, Christina and I went to Whole Foods for food samples just because, and we saw Peter standing by the microwave heating up his food, so we started talking to him, and we all went back to Border's and he just sat by us and we started talking, and Linda was all like, "WTF? Where'd he come from?" And yeah, so Peter moved after a while, and Christina went to his table and kept talking to him, and Linda and I were sitting at the table (no one wanted anything wrapped), and we were both staring at him intently with this stalker-ish, creepy look on our faces. It was hilarious. XD

Then Linda had to leave, and Peter came back to join us, at which time he had Chinese food from Rice Garden. =P Then we started talking about cute guys, which was pretty random, and then we got to exchanging phone numbers because he'd never been to the Art and Wind Festival before, and Christina and I were like, "OMG, you have to go! We'll call you when it's going on." Then he gave us his number, so we gave him ours just for "insurance." XD It was pretty funny.

Then when he left, he left the post-its with our numbers on them, so Christina was like, "What a jerk..." and we both ran after him, but he'd gotten in his car and drove away. So then she called his number and was like, "You left the post-its here..." and told him that he had to come back on Monday. XD Which, by the way, is when we're both volunteering again.

Then afterward, Christina and I got dinner and stuff, and started looking at calendars with Rabbit Suicides, and playing I SPY. At one point, this guy came over and started playing I SPY with us. It was kind of funny. XD Then we both got these cream smoothie things from the cafe (I got a strawberry one, Christina got an orange mango one), and just kept playing I SPY.

The last customer we had forgot to take out his receipt, so I had to take apart one of his wrapped presents and take out the receipt for him, but I took it apart rather nicely, so I was joking like, "We should all marvel at my pro-ness." Then he was like, "Yeah, I'll go home, and still be marveling at your pro-ness." So we got to saying how he'd tell the present receiver about how good I am at taking apart presents, then she'll pass it on to her children, and who knows, maybe there will be a movie about it someday! You know, "Based on a True Story of a Border's Gift-Wrapping Girl." =D Then we cleaned up around 9:50 pm, and went home. XD But it was a hella fun day!

By the way, people, I have two official awesome jobs to put on my college application (tutoring doesn't count, it's not awesome enough =P):
1) Professional Gingerbread Cookie Decorator
2) Professional Border's Gift-Wrapper

But anyways, you people that don't go to Border's gift wrap don't know what you're missing out on! The customers there are hella funny and awesome to talk to!!! (Like Peter. Roflmao. XD)

I Be Santa!!!

Haha, it was SO awesome yesterday!!! =D Basically, I gave out all of my goodie bags, candy canes to random people, and a brownie to *almost* everyone that asked! Yay! It made me happy. =) I got lots of presents too! I don't know what they are yet (except for a few because the people made me open it... *cough* Lisa *cough*), but I'll post when I open them! Yay! =D

Mock Trial was AWESOME. We had tons of food, and Rock Band! W00t! Adam chose this hella high pitched song, so I was screeching the whole time I was singing. XD But we got donuts, chips, soda, candy canes, brownies, cupcakes, cookies, and lots of yummy yummy food!!! <3

Ceramics wasn't that different. So whatever. XD

English was hella fun... for once! XP We had this play thing where the class split into two groups, and we each acted out "'Twas the Night Before Christmas!" It was the awesomest thing ever! And I got to be Santa!!! And Ramon visited us too! So I gave him his goodie bag, and he got to watch my awesome impersonation of Santa laughing, jumping down the chimney, and yelling for his reindeer (Tedmund was Rudolph =P) to bring him to the roof. It was pretty awesome.

Yeah, during lunch, and I went around asking people if they wanted candy canes. XD

Yeah, we totally skipped the lecture in bio. XD I love Mr. Pence. We got to eat cookies, cake, and chocolate! Plus these REALLY yummy mini butter cookies. They're delicious. Then Mr. Pence was joking, and he was like, "We're going to watch my favorite Christmas movie! It's about sponges! It's so festive!" But we just watched Elf. XD It was pretty awesome! Yay!

I Get to Feel Like Santa! <3

And I love every moment of it! Yay! Every single year, I get to feel like Santa on the last day of school before Christmas! It's so awesome! It feels like I'm bringing joy to all of my friends, it's such an awesome feeling! Sure, it's hassle-some to make tons of goodie bags and treats, and lug them around school, but... It's totally worth it!

This year, I have 34 goodie bags, 28 brownie squares, and a big box of fruit flavored mini candy canes! Yay! I'm so happy! =D I don't even get what makes me so happy about Christmas. I mean, it's not like much is going on, I get presents from my close friends, give goodie bags and treats to almost my whole networks of moderately close friends, but it's just a nice feelings. It's all festive, and fun, and I love giving people things, an baking, and yay! =D I'm so happy! MERRY CHRISTMAS!



Oh yeah, by the way, I'll be changing my Christmas song every few days (even after Christmas, until the end of December). The lucky first song is Jingle Bell Rock! =D

My Life of Randomness

Yeah, my life is pretty damn awesome. =D

Mock Trial was hilarious today. We got to watch defense, and I totally cracked up when Wendy was like, "It's Doctor." XD I didn't get to see myself though, which is a good and bad thing. =/ Good because I don't have to go through the embarrassment of being impeached again, bad because I really wanted to see myself go. -.-

Math was boring. We had a notebook check and a quiz. The quiz was easy, but I got a 48/50 on the notebook check because I didn't enter my chapter 6 test score. And she won't let anyone change anything either. Ugh. It's going to bother me. -.- But whatever. -.-

Break was HILARIOUS. I was chasing Robyn and Brenden around, then Robyn was running around, Brenden was running towards me, and Robyn tripped over Brenden's foot. She didn't get hurt though, so I started cracking up so bad!!! XD I was actually on the ground for like, a minute... and a half. =P

PE was boring, then fun. Football was the stupidest thing ever. Ugh. We just stood around because Brian's team was being idiots. XD Then basketball was awesome, we only lost one game, but that was on winner's court, sadly. -.-

Then in French, we had the oral quiz, which was hella easy, then we watched the rest of Madeleine, which was rather cute, and ate the Buche De Noels (Christmas Logs, aka swirl cakes). Yum.

Ross and I had a very interesting conversation in the car. We started talking about trees, poles, fences, etc. Then we had this 5-minute lapse where we went back and forth going like:
"What?"
"What?"
"Where?"
"Why?"
"What?"
Then we had this 3-minute period where we just kept cracking up. Yup. We are so awesome!!! XD

Blessed by the Spicule Gods!!!

Psh, yeah! You WISH you were blessed by the spicule gods! XD I love bio... =D

Anyways, Mock Trial yesterday, the camcorder was screwed up, so we didn't get to watch defense. We just sat around. And talked.

More glazing in ceramics. I'm really getting sick of it. -.- You get these terrible hand cramps trying to make the colors and lines look neat. Ugh. It's so annoying! The project I'm glazing right now is going to look pretty awesome though! I finished my footed pinch pot, so I'm onto my pinch vase, which has a ton of lines and dots around it. Basically, I'm making the whole thing black and white except for this coil ring around the neck, which I'm going to make bright red! =D

English was... English. Mrs. Foss wrote, "The Night Before an AP Student's Christmas" or something, which has a ton of weird words like "diurnal" and crap in it. =P It was really funny whenever we tried to read it. XDD

And bio... Haha, pure love, right there. We basically did this lab with sponges, where we took bleach and dissolved all the spongy material (and essentially killed the sponge), then looked for the spicules (which are sort of like bones) in the sponge, Then, when we found them, Mr. Pence comes over with this white "wand" that's actually a dried sponge, and taps you on the head, saying "____ has been blessed by the Spicule Gods!" But yeah, He's freaking awesome! Haha. Then he was "hinting" at what he wants for Christmas. Hinting being writing, "Pete's Coffee Gift Cards WELCOME!" on the blackboard and continually drawing attention to said note. =P

K.P.C.O.F.G.S... Hm...

Lol. Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species... but apparently "King Phillip Came Over For Great Sex." XD
How I love Mr. Pence... =P

Anyways, yesterday was sort of boring. In Mock Trial, we talked about funny stories during the scrimmage, and there were TONS. I like Wendy's though, this dude was crossing her, and he was like, "Good morning, Ms. King." And she replied all sharply, "It's Doctor." XD Yeah, it was pretty awesome! Then Kelly's attorneys had her say her name was Dutch, so when the guy greeted her, she was like, "Jefferson (Yefferson). It's Dutch." HILARIOUS. We get to watch defense stuff tomorrow, so I can't wait to see them! I CAN wait to see myself though... getting impeached... -.-

We glazed more in ceramics. OMG, I can't wait to glaze my panda box!!! It's going to be such a pain though... XDD But if I do it well, it'll look AWESOME!!! Yay!

English was... English. We read poems on social injustice, and found out our project for the break. a poster, summary/response to an article, and a poem on said article. DX Ugh. I think English projects should go die... -.-

And Mr. Pence's class was just awesome. See the quote at the very, very top. XD

Kevin's Birthday! (The Day the Earth Stood Still)

Haha, odd title. XD Anyways, it was Kevin Ye's birthday today! And that's the movie we watched, TDTESS. XD It was Kevin, Kevin, Ross, Sling, Tiffy, and me. We ate cake (I baked it), brownies (Tiffy's), and cookies (Slingy's) by the place where Santa had pictures, then walked around the Plaza for a little while. BB (Birthday Boy) Kevin kept trying to rape Ross, because they apparently have this gay relationship going on. XP
Then we went to watch the movies, which was actually pretty good. The plot was interesting, but it seemed a bit awkward to me, like the ending wasn't as final as I thought it would be. All in all though, I liked it. It was really funny though, because the movie is about aliens come to Earth, and since I keep talking about how I'm an alien, Sling was like, "Hey, Erica! Your people have come back for you!" It was weird though, like how most of the stuff I said about my aliens actually matched the ones in the movies! Like, I speak Chinese, just like Clatu, we look like actual humans, etc. Except for the fact that he can power phones, smash people with cars, and shock people just by using his hands. Then when he was doing the complicated math problem on the board, I was like to Slingy, "See, I told you I was one of the stupid ones!" It was really funny. XD

The afterward, we went wandered around the Plaza, went to Starbucks and hung around for a while, then went to McDonalds where Kevin continued to attempt to rape Ross and people started talking around really disturbing things. XD But yeah. It was a pretty awesome day! =D

Mock Trial Scrimmage!

Anyways, sort of belated, but I've had lots of events. =P The scrimmage went pretty well. I thought of some pretty awesome responses. This one guy asked me, "So you're here to testify FOR your friend, and you'd say anything for her, right?" and I was like, "No, I'm here to testify because she's innocent." XD It was pretty cool. But then I got impeached because I didn't know that my statement said I thought Leslie Lane wrote violent rap lyrics. DX Oh well. We still won both times. The first time went pretty smoothly, besides the impeachment.
The second time was HILARIOUS. The judge as the attorney coach for the other team, so he was totally biased. He wouldn't even let Tiffy or Bri argue their case! But we still won, which either proves how good we are, or how crappy they are (no offense West High). But the really funny part was when Bri asked their H.H. Hingel, "So, Mr. Hingel, do you not believe that 7 luxury cars are a little materialistic?" and he said, "Actually, we have 13." Everyone started cracking up, and Bri was like, okay, I'll go with that... "No further question, Your Honor." It was SO bad! Then all of their witnesses were pretty argumentative, and one of their attorneys sucked... She didn't lay the foundation for any of her questions, and her questions didn't make sense either. When she was crossing me, she was like, "So you can't give me the names of the out-of-towners, can you?" I was sort of like, um... wtf.. so I just said, "Well, I have never seen them excepting that one incident, so no..."
But anyways, JV defense won both counts in both trials, JV prosecution won the first count and lost the second in both trials, V defense won both in both, and V prosecution won 1st lost 2nd in the 1st one, and won 2nd lost 1st in the 2nd. XD

Mock Trial Scrimmage Tomorrow!!!

My first ever! Haha, I'm so psyched, but hella nervous too! I did really, really bad on cross today; I even messed up on direct! Gah! It's like.. an omen or something. But I'm going to be perfect tomorrow. And that's that. -.- Oh my gosh, I like my outfit! I had to steal a suit-like outfit from Jess, because I don't have any. XD It's like this black jacket with thin, white, vertical stripes (I'm wearing a white cami under) with a similarly designed pencil skirt. Then we have to wear tights/pantyhose underneath, but I have these cool half-pantyhose things. Well, not really cool, but at least I don't have to wear a full pantyhose or whatever. Then I stole Jess' shoes, which are totally adorable! They're black, around 2" heels, with sequined bows where the toes are. =D I have to get to school at 7:45am latest tomorrow though; plus we'll get back to school around 4:00pm. Ugh. So long... I'm probably going to get there around 7:30am too; I'm paranoid that I'll be late and hold up everyone. -.-

Anyways, today was uneventful. I went in Mock Trial today and screwed up royally. Epic fail. Like literally. I was about to cry when I got off the stand. Math was boring; we learned about quadratics in word problems, and learned how to sing the quadratic formula to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel." Break was pretty boring, besides McKenzie saying "Shave the whales!" instead of "Save the whales!" PE was boring too. More tennis and soccer. Then French was... boring. We didn't do anything... -.-

Chinese school as pretty fun. We reviewed the idiotic dance we have to perform, learned some vocabulary, and played bingo/had a raffle. I put one ticket in and I won. XP It was funny. Then Michael, Stanley, and I had this paper ball fight in the last few minutes of, and after, school. It was fun. =D

Voted "Most Likely to Crack Up When Being Tortured"

Yeah. I have this weird tendency to laugh whenever I'm in pain. XD It sort of annoys me. o.o

Anyways, Mock Trial was pretty boring yesterday. JV Prosecution went, and I just played "Bloons" on the computers in the back of the room. =P I have to go today though...

I finished my panda box in ceramics today! It's so freaking adorable; I can't believe I made it myself! =D I'm not trying to be arrogant or anything, but seriously, it turned out WAY better than I expected. =P It's going to be a pain in the ass/neck/BACK to glaze though... And I sincerely hope that the bamboo stalks on the top don't break...

English was pretty boring. We took the vocab quiz, which I think I did okay on. Then ee got back our OMAM Ch1/2 Quiz, OMAM Final, OMAM Character Project, and "King of the Hill" Analysis Essay. I did okay on the quiz/final (I missed two on each, but it's still an A), and did WAY better than I expected on the project and essay. I even got extra credit! o.o I swear she graded a lot easier on the "King of the Hill" Essay than she did on the TKAM one; it's probably because half the class got C's on that. -.- She was probably like, "Huh, everyone's failing. Maybe I should not grade as harshly anymore..." Either that, or this essay was way better than my TKAM one. And we don't have homework! =D

Lunch was HELLA funny. This is where my awesome "Voted" title comes into play. Basically I was sitting on the ground by the stairs (which have metal railings), when Robyn poked me. I got up to poke her, sort of tripped (no idea why or how), and smashed the back of my head on the railing. It hurt like a bitch, but then I started cracking up (in that oh-so-endearing way I have whenever I'm hurt). Then, since I was cracking up into my knees, and Robyn, Michelle, and Courtney couldn't see my face, Robyn and Michelle started freaking out because they thought I was crying. Obviously, that made me crack up/"cry" even harder, until like, 7 minutes later, when I finally lifted my head and Robyn could see that I was in hysterics. She got so pissed though, but you could tell she was glad that I wasn't crying. XD

Biology was boring. We had a sub. -.- Basically, we did the microscope lab test, which I aced in under 3 minutes, and then we got like,around 15 minutes to study for the test. I actually finished my bio homework then though. XD Then the actual test (on 7 lessons!) was okay, but I was hella confused on some of the questions, but the sub didn't know what Mr. Pence meant either... o.o Then some of the material he didn't really cover either, so I just guessed. =P

Anyways, yeah. Most likely to crack up when being tortured! Haha. Oh, right. And I'm sick. So stay away from me unless you want to contract a very painful sore throat and very annoying runny/stuffy nose.
And for those of you with sore throats, hot water with lots of honey and lemon helps! Just like, mix in the honey with the hot water first, make sure it's all dissolved (put as much or as little as you want), then add some lemon. Make sure you can sort of taste the lemon, it should just be a sort of bitter/sour tint to the sweetened water. It actually tastes pretty good too! =D

Foss is Freaking Fanatical!

Yes, I know I had another alliteration post, but I'll admit that that was kind of mean and overboard. But seriously, a character project/poster/analysis? Ugh. -.- Mine turned out pretty nicely though. Everyone's had awesome stuff on it, at least that I saw. Courtney had this AWESOME barn, and Robyn/Stepho's drawings were HELLA pro. Mine was just... sparkly. Haha. But yeah, I was up until for this morning. -.- I finished the project around 2-ish, but then I wanted food and everything, so... I guess that's my own fault? Rofl.

Anyways, today was pretty uneventful, but yet exciting. Sort of. In ceramics, I finished glazing my footed pinch pot, but the freaking leg broke off. -.- Right where Mrs. Tussy repaired it before. I was pissed. And it really sucks, because it's already missing a toe, and that's one of my better creations. Oh well. As long as anything doesn't happen to my panda box, I'm pretty much fin with everything else breaking. Well, not fine, per se, but it wouldn't matter that much.

Haha, during break, Robyn, Courtney, and I were in Foss' room, then Robyn was sitting on the arm of a desk and almost fell in, so she screamed really loud and high pitched. Then I tried to pull her out, and the desk almost toppled over with her, so we both shrieked, and Mrs. Foss was like, "I don't get how you guys can be so mature one second, then act like kindergartners the rest." XD

English was weird. We turned in our projects, then took the test, which was way easier than I thought it would be. I might have actually gotten 100% on it! Yay! Haha, I really doubt it, but whatever. Then we watched a part of "Of Mice and Men," but Lennie doesn't sound anything like I thought he would. I thought he'd just be dim in the head but talk and act like everyone else but no, he's got this lisp. Then when she stopped the movie and was finishing up essay conferences, I went to the other side of the room and watched Taehyun and Courtney spin pens. =P But then, afterward, Mrs. Foss was totally dissing pen spinning. -.- She's just jealous. XD

Lunch was fun. Ross had Twinkie cupcakes he made in Culinary Arts, and I got one. I ate it when I got home, and it's really good. I can't say it if tastes like Twinkies or not, because I haven't had one for so long, but they're good. Lol. Then we had a Badminton Club meeting in which Kevin, Kevin, Ross, Toby and I didn't play badminton, but climbed up on the bleachers instead. XD I went up first, then everyone copied me, so I started pushing the two Kevins off, until Kevin K. Tried to push me off. But as I was holding on really tight, he failed miserably, so I kicked him off. XD Then Soomin and I kept stealing Kevin's orange juice, and Kevin kept stealing my shoes. =P But then I was standing on the bleachers, and Mr. Linda screamed at me to get down before I got hurt, so I just jumped off. XD But all in all, it was pretty awesome.

Bio was interesting, but not as much as usual. We went over a Powerpoint, then did a lab with a pileworm. Just saying, those worms are freaking AWESOME. They look like aliens. They're like, I don't know... bu REALLY long, sort of brown/green/gray and a bit of red, and they have these dark beige tentacle things all along the sides of their body. Then their mouth is inverted, so whenever it flips out it's black pincer jaw things, it looks hella sick. I put a picture of one underneath. =D



And then it was really retarded, because they sent progress reports out from Schloop, and I have all A's, but that's not the point. Basically, an A+ in French 3 is a 97%. And guess what I have? A freaking 96.99%. I mean, seriously? What the hell? XD

College App Entry: Pro Gingerbread Cookie Decorator!

Lol. Yeah, pro cookie decorator! You wish you could do that! Lol. It's hard work though! Anyways, I was volunteering at the gingerbread cookie maker thing on Saturday. Basically, it's where people order cookies, we fill the orders, and the proceeds go to homeless shelters and rape centers. So for the first shift (9-12pm), I cut out cookies, which was actually kind of fun, since you cut out as many big gingerbread girls/boys as you could, then you fit in little mini gingerbread babies around them. Then you put the girls on their tray, boys on another, and babies on yet another. I'd bal up the scraps and shoot them into the brown tub, sine it was huge, but some people carried them over. XD
Then from 12-4pm, I decorated cookies! Haha, I actually followed the designs for like, the first 10, then I was like, screw this! And made my own designs! I had a Santa cookie. =P We got to eat the reject cookies too; those are the cookies that are pockmarked, broken, or have back designs on them. Lol. I swear, I probably decorated 120 cookies. Not that bad, a cookie every other minute. When I was done, my hand was sooooo cramped though! I moved it, and it would be all stiff and hurt like hell. XD THe person in charge of decorating, Kristen, let me take some reject cookies, decorated them, and take them home though! I took three, and I still have 1 3/4 left. I ate the arms and legs of one. =P

Afterward, I came home, did all of my math, French, and bio homework (OMG aren't you so proud of me?), and put off my English project until Sunday, which is now put off until Monday, because I was in a really crappy and unproductive mood today. Then Vivian came over around 8pm to look at my math quizzes to see if she's missing anything being stuck in regular Alg. 2, but apparently she's not. Then our parents talked until 11:30pm, then Vivian left, and I went to bed around 12 midnight. Actually, collapsed on my mattress and went unconscious is probably more like it. I was pretty tired from all that gingerbread. XD

I didn't do much today. Sat around going on the computer, playing games, eating, sleeping, and talking with friends. Didn't even touch anything school-related, besides my PE clothes, because I had to pack them. But yeah. I'm so screwed tomorrow. XP

JoJo ~ Get Out, Leave

I've been waiting all day for ya babe,
so won't you come and sit and talk to me,
tell me how we're gonna be together always.
Hope you know that when it's late at night,
hold on to my pillow tight,
and think of how you promised me forever.
(I never thought that anyone) could make me feel this way,
(Now that you're here boy all I want) is just the chance to say.

Get out (leave) right now, it's the end of you and me,
it's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone,
'cause I know about her, (who) and I wonder, (why) how I bought all the lies
you said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time).

Tell me why you're lookin' so confused,
when I'm the one who didn't know the truth,
how could you ever be so cold.
To go behind my back and call my friend,
boy you must have gone and bumped your head,
because you left her number on your phone.
(Now after all that's said and done) maybe I'm the one to blame but,
(To think that you could be the one) well it didn't work out that way.

Get out (leave) right now, it's the end of you and me,
it's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone,
'cause I know about her, (who) and I wonder, (why) how I bought all the lies
you said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time).

I wanted you right here with me, but I have no choice you've gotta leave,
because my heart is breaking,
with every word I'm saying,
I gave up everything I had, on something that just wouldn't last
But I refuse to cry,
no tears will fall from these eyeee... eyeee... eyes. Oooooooohhhh
(GET OUT)

about her (who, why)
you said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time).




I love this song; the beat is great, and it's totally sympathetic in more ways than one. Plus JoJo is an awesome singer! <3
