Late Night Phone Calls Are Amazing

People don't call each other enough anymore. I mean, sure AIM and stuff works, but phone calls seem more... I don't know, close? So anyways, I've been calling some of my friends really late and just talking for a while; it's been pretty fun. A lot of people don't stay up late enough for my phone calls though... But anyways, I've talked to Simon and Zach. Simon and I just totally rambled about a ton of random stuff; it was rather amazing. Then I TRIED to get Zach to talk about his feelings, but being the meanie butthead he is, he refrained from telling me ANYTHING until I passed out at 4:55am. Then he said something, but I don't know what it is. Loser. Then I tried staying up until 4:55am again yesterday/today, because if I made it until then, he would've told me, but I passed out at like 4:30am? But so did he, so whatever. I'm doing this again next weekend. Must find out what he said. xD

But yeah, late night phone calls are probably one of the best things I could do... er... late at night? xD Need to find more people to call; Vivian's on my list, and maybe Hsiang, if he's up to it. xP This is fun; it's going to be my new late-night hobby. =D

Finally Fifteen!

.

So my day started out sort of crappy. But this was like, before I actually woke up, if you get what I mean. Meaning at about 12:00-1:00am, before I had gone to bed and actually woken up on my "birthday." But yeah, I cried myself to sleep because something one of my friends said made me feel extremely crappy about myself. Totally not their intention, but what can I say. Then I got a text from one of my friends which was amazingly sweet, and it made me happy and even sadder at the same time. So yeah.

But anyways, today was pretty amazing in general. Courtney and Robyn were waiting for me in the office when I got there with presents. It made me happy. =] And then Lynette and the office ladies wished me a happy birthday, and Lynette was like, "You're only fifteen? I keep forgetting because you're so mature. You're always here on time and so responsible!" I almost laughed at the mature part. xD

Chem was sort of stupid; our whole lab team got marked off because one of our chemicals was misplaced with another lab group's, but that totally wasn't our fault. We gave our chemicals to the TA to fill up, and he only had two bottles, and just happened to mix the two up. I was like, are you f-ing kidding me... But it's okay for me I guess, since I didn't get any deductions. Still sort of pissed though. And the third lab took way longer than I thought it would; I didn't even get to my unknown... -sighs- Well, I have one more day, so I'm good.

Physics was boring; we finished up the Castle labs and got homework (-cries-). Alex was actually here; she's getting her wisdom teeth out at a later date. xD So we're probably going to work on the boat more this weekend. Sort of a bummer, but hey, it's got to be done.

I got two cakes during lunch (from Zach and Clarie) and just presents in general. So I ran around a bit giving everyone cake. xP But yeah, I love my friends. Like seriously, even with me blatantly not telling them when my birthday is, they still found out. That's saying something.

French was fun; we watch Sleeping Beauty and ate pastries. And cake. =P

After school was amusing since Ross thought he had Kumon, but then we got there and it was closed. xD What a fail.

*****

Then before I went to Chinese school, we went to go buy a cake since Jess was coming back, then while we're deciding, the counter ladies were talking about how amazingly pretty they think I am. It went something along, "She's so pretty! I can barely take my eyes off her; think about the guys at her school!" Ranks up there in some of the most awkward times of my life. With Mrs. Turbeville's handshake. xD

*****

Chinese school was fun. Lucy actually came JUST to give me my present since she had forgot it at home. I was like, she seriously did not need to do that; she could've given it to me Tuesday! But yeah.
We had a helium tank and balloons; I spent a good amount of time inhaling helium. Then I sang the Star Spangled Banner in a helium voice, it was EPIC. Like everyone around me just stopped doing whatever and listened to me sing and totally cracked up. New ice breaker technique for anywhere where there's a helium tank. Which is not many places, but hey. xP
Then Lance, Michelle, and I had this battle on that iTouch app where you unroll a toilet paper roll. The high scores went: Erica, Lance, Erica, Lance, Erica, Lance, Michelle, Erica, Lance... xD Then Gilbert came along and totally beasted us. Then Eric and I had a Tap Tap battle. =P

*****

We went to pick up Jess from Berkeley, then when we got home, we took pictures (with the cake), and cracked up while doing it. I love my sister. ♥

*****

So total count of presents (so far): Yogurtland gift card + AMAZING sketch of a kitty (Ross), two bags of candy, like literal BAGS (Courtney + Robyn), earrings (Vivian), teddy bear (Hsiang), Abercrombie gift card + brownies (Lucy), stuff for our secret plan + cake (Clarie), and more cake (Zach)! xD It was a pretty awesome day. I think Simon's coming over some time tomorrow. Not really sure when, but whatever. xD Gotta love my friends! =]

Sometimes I Wish...

...That I had a friend who I could call at any time at all when I needed someone to talk to and cry on. Just someone to listen to all the worthless crap I have to say. Someone to call when I'm upset or mad, or feeling crappy about myself. Someone like that. I'm sure none of my friends would care if I did end up calling them at midnight, since they're just amazing people like that, but I wouldn't want to bother them with trivial stuff and crap I could eventually deal with on my own after a period of time...

I guess I just want someone who understands me completely. Wouldn't that be nice...

Well, That Was Fun. xD

Anyways, I went to that school-wide award thing. Pretty boring, as always. But all throughout, I was making comments to Courtney; like when Mr. Corti mentioned "outstanding students," I would add, "like Courtney Laux," and then when he said "teacher nominators," I said, "Mrs. Turbeville" (Courtney got her award from her).

Then we were saying how we should just sit out and not go down since we'd have to shake everyone's hand and everything. Or like, how we should go in the wrong year, so I could be a freshman or whatever. xD Then I was like, "When they ask for my name, I should totally be like, 'Batman.'" And if they questioned it, I could just go, "No. Batman." xP Some dude said his name was Tom Cruz. And then there were two people who said the same name consecutively, the announcer was so confused. =P

The actual thing wasn't too bad. I made Courtney go before me, so I could scream her name. =P I just shook a ton of hands. xD Then I got a fist bump from Mr. Shack! I feel special. =D And Mrs. Turbeville held her hand out too, so I went to shake it, but then she went to fist bump it, and we kept alternating until she just grabbed my (semi-curled) hand and shook it. It was literally probably the most awkward handshake in the history of Cal High. xD

*****

Anyways, TA was boring. Handled everything by myself today; Robert showed up literally, the last minute of the period. Then, when the bell rang, he said, "Oh that was fast." I really wanted to punch him. No sh*t it was fast, you were here for a minute!!!

Then in chem, we had our lab final. I finished the first two labs, but literally spent 1/3 of my time that period was spent trying to get people to understand the first lab. So I was waiting for Mrs. Breton to give me a solution for the first lab (to test for a mixtures of unknowns) and then Sean comes up to me, and asks me for help, and so I figure, I'm waiting for Mrs. Breton, might as well. And then I get my unknown, and keep helping him, and pretty soon, about 1/4 of the class is gathered around me, listening. xD Ate up a TON of my time, but whatever. It was nice helping people, and Mrs. Breton was sort of standing there, smiling. And she said I'm a useful person to have in a class. =P Then after I finished the first lab, I helped people more, then I was just like, okay, I need to do this, so I finished the second lab like 10 minutes before the bell rang. By then, people were already cleaning up though. But I figure once I finish the third (and final) lab Friday, I can help people for the rest of that class, plus all of the class after that.
It was ridiculous though, even with all that helping people, I still finished most of the final, so I figure if I was mean and refused to help people, I would've finished the whole thing today. Which is weird, since it's pretty long and is supposed to take 3 days. But anyways, I got the first two labs (three experiments) totally perfect. No hash marks (deductions)! I was so proud of myself, it was actually sort of sad. xP Ah well, one lab to go. =D
Her solutions were pretty colors too; the first one I got was yellow, then the other two were a pale green and a nice red/pink. I'm waiting for a blue or purple. ;D

Physics was pretty easy; we just continued Castle #3. Alex, Brit, and I seriously had a food fest. I ate my Twix and brought out raspberries, which we dipped in Alex's caramel (we also dipped apples and M&Ms in caramel), then Brit had Razzles and pita chips too. It was pretty awesome. Every single time we're in physics, the three of us always have something to eat. xD

Lunch was pretty uneventful. Nothing out of the ordinary at least, although I did sing "Xiao Jiu Wo" with Hsiang.

French was spent in the lab, researching our business. We didn't do much, Sarah spent most of the time emailing/texting her friends, so I just put together most of the PowerPoint.

Then Brit and I basically just wrapped our whole boat frame in duct tape today; it was pretty amusing. We were talking about how like, by the time we were done, our boat could go across the Atlantic Ocean and still not leak. xD And she had this DELICIOUS lemon-raspberry cake. And cookies... ♥ Then we just lay on her bed and read books, since Alex is the clearest on our design, and we didn't want to screw anything up. xP

Today Was... I Don't Know. Weird? Eventful? Annoying?

Anyways, TA was boring as always. Courtney didn't show up until like, the last 10 minutes of the period though. Seriously. I don't care if she woke up late. She needs to get her butt here on time. Her and Robert both, I'm sick of having to answer a bajillion phone calls from annoyed parents AND write passes for late students because both of them feel like sleeping in. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood today, but I'll get to why later.

Math was boring. We learned stuff, and I did my chem pre-lab plus the math homework (since he changed it ><). Then I shredded the old homework assignment. =D

We watched Cyrano de Bergerac (or part of it, at least), in English. It's not a half-bad movie, I actually really like it. We're watching a play production in the new theater next class too; I'm happy for that.

Lunch was pretty awesome until the end. Basically just all the regular poking/punching/crap. But then near the end, there was a condom on the floor (unused, but still no idea what the hell it was doing there), and Robyn, being Robyn, decides to pick it up and chuck it at people. So I was just like, okay, that's sort of gross, but whatever. Until she tried to shove it down my shirt. Yeah, that's right. She picked up a condom, and tried to put it down the front of my shirt. I think I went into like a shock phase for a little bit, but then afterward I just got mad. I just didn't even want to be around that place anymore, so I just got my stuff and left. Right as the bell rang, in fact, which was good timing.
Robyn, if you're reading this, I love you and all, and most of the time, however much I may complain, I really don't care what you do. You're fun to be around, and one of my best friends, and generally awesome. But you really need to learn what going overboard is...

Then in Euro, I was getting ready to take the final, then Mr. Lambert asks me for my grade in the class, and I told him. Given that I have an A-, which I guess most people don't have, he says I don't need to take the final and REFUSES to give me a test. I was like, "WHAT. THE. HELL. I want to take this DAMN test!" I was PISSED. Seriously, if I somehow fail the book report essay thing, and end up with a B+ in the class, I'm going up to him and like, MAKING him give me an A. I'm sure refusing a student an opportunity given to other students is against some rule. But that, combined with the whole lunch episode, just made me so frustrated that I just sort of went, "Just screw this." I laid my head down in my arms and cried for a little bit, to be honest. Then I fell asleep until like 2:30, but then when I woke up, I felt much better, so that was nice. I'm still slightly pissed though... Weird as it sounds, I WANTED to take that damn final...

So after school, Alex, Brit, and I went to Brit's house to work on the boat project, but we had to drop off Claire before. So we did that, and as Maria was backing out, this teenage guy like, makes a left turn and clips our bumper, then SPEEDS off. So Maria GUNS it, honking her horn, until the guy pulls over, then get out of the car pissed. The first words out of her mouth were, "WHAT THE HELL?! YOU JUST HIT ME!" No kidding. Brit was all like, "Aw crap. She's pregnant and pissed." So the guy tries to deny everything, and Maria's just so annoyed. In the end, they just trade insurance information and stuff, and we went on our way. But yeah, at the time of the scrape, I was just thinking, "Damn, this is NOT going to be a good day..."

So we did absolutely NOTHING on our boat today. All three of us were so amazingly tired, we just sort of sat around and looked at each other, and reached a consensus that we were not going to get sh*t done. Then Kayley (sp?) comes over, and she and Brit had this rather... interesting talk about guys. And Brit's current crush. I was just sort of like, "Meh..." I really don't get all this girl gossip and stuff... But then after Kayley left, we ate some food, and watched some Youtube videos, and just ignored our boat. Joy. Ah well, whatever, it was relaxing for once.

So all in all, more eventful than my average day. Not exactly in a good way, but... -sighs- Whatever, I guess everyone has amazingly stupid or just plain bad days in their life. I'm going to go sleep more now, and re-energize.

This Boat Project Will Be the End of Me

Seriously. I'll go into that later.

I brought Courtney her pie today! She didn't even know what it was until lunch though (I wrapped it), and even then, I opened it for her. xD But she didn't eat any of it at school. I guess carrying around a half-eaten pie WOULD be sort of troublesome... Kudos to Ross for leading me to where their English class was though. They weren't in their classroom today; they were in the computer lab for some reason or another. So I show up, then Courtney looks at Ross and is like, "I hate you." xP I have my resources, and I WILL find you. =P

Anyways, I actually wasn't as tired today as I thought I'd be. Until the boat project. So TA was boring, as was chem and French. Our chem lab final is going to be so easy, it's laughable. You can ask anyone in the class for help. Like seriously? Wowww...
Physics was actually pretty nice; we barely did anything. We DID start Castle #3, which is rather confusing, and get our quizzes back. I got 34/35! I just lost a point on some explanation thing because apparently my evidence wasn't able to be observed. -sighs- But whatever, I was one of two people who got 34/35, and we set the offset. I think that's the only time I have, and ever will, semi-set the offset. It seriously made my day, I was so ridiculously proud of myself, it's sad. But whatever.

Brunch was rather boring. Heard a lot about Turbeville's test, apparently it was killer. Welcome to the real world. Her tests in general have gotten easier since last year though, but I heard lots of people didn't finish, which really sucks. =\

Went to a CSF meeting during lunch, but totally forgot my volunteer hours, so I'm bringing those tomorrow. Then I just hung around the freshmen for the majority of the period, but I did go and hang out with Courtney/Robyn/Ross/Tommy for a while. I stole Ross's backpack, and when he came to get it back, I latched on, and he actually swore. I was like, "OMG Ross swore!!!" It was amazing. Then I fail sang a song with Hsiang, it was sad. He's a pretty good singer though, he has a nice voice, even if it is a bit quiet. =P

Okay so the boat project. That thing is like the bane of my existence right now. We've spent a grand total of probably at least 14 hours on that thing, and it's not even CLOSE to being finished. I sense long hours in the future. But yeah, right now we have most of the frame done, we need to attach the sides and everything. I hope to God we are able to row this damn thing across the pool, because we need that extra credit. It'd be nice if we placed too (1st, 2nd, or 3rd). But you know, two petite girls in a boat versus like, two football players? Slight disadvantage there. At least it'll look awesome when we're done. We will MAKE it look awesome. xD

Boat Project

Anyways, Alex, Brittany, and I worked on ours today. Well, Alex got the whole setup and pieces done yesterday. Before I got to her house, she and Brittany had done a bit of decorating, and after I got there, we did a bit of physics/chemistry homework. Then Brittany left, and Alex and I assembled almost the whole boat. And we ate cherry pie with French vanilla ice cream. ♥ Not going into details until the race (and pictures!) but all I gotta say is it's going to be AWESOME.

Slightly contradictory to my ranting last post. But is this is cute or what? =]

Just STOP

My dad NEEDS to stop bugging me about studying. It's seriously pissing me off. It's not like he even knows anything that's going on in my life. Jeez. He never asks about my day, he doesn't know my friends (like ANY of them, excepting maybe three?), he doesn't know my schedule, heck, he doesn't even know where I AM half the time, and there's seriously no amazingly significant difference in my life from when he's at home or when he's on business trips other than I get pestered about studying less when he's gone. I wouldn't mind AS much if he actually talked to me about more than just "You need to stop talking to friends and study/play piano!" So just seriously. He needs to stop.

Kitten Love ♥

.

Just to negate the big blocks of text, I'll be posting pictures of kitten love every once in a while. =D

Chinese School is AMAZING

Anyways, TA was boring. Finished two assignments in math, watched the rest of Lord of the Flies in English, did NOTHING in Euro. Got tortured a lot during lunch. xD Happy "Hug a Short Person" and "One Happy Day" today! =D

Chinese school was amazing today though. So Michael was seriously like HIGH. He would start laughing for no freaking reason at all, it was hilarious. xD We read the lesson over a bit, then had a party. =P Josephine and I got pizza from another class (thanks Hsiang!) and ate chips and drank whatever drinks we had. So basically, Stanley started playing "You Belong With Me" on his iTouch, then we ended up syncing four to play at once, and belting out the lyrics. It was awesome. Lance actually knows like all of the lyrics to the song, and he's not a half bad singer. And he goes really high sometimes, it's really funny. Then we folded ninja stars and threw them around (and Michael made his epic eight point ones), and played sentence pictionary, which failed since pretty much no one was paying attention.
We had a raffle drawing too. Our teacher isn't teaching next year, so I just threw all my tickets into the bag, and it was really funny, since I had like 15-20 tickets and everyone else had like three. So the first two tickets were Stanley's and Jimmy's, then she drew like 10 of mine (only got one prize though, or else that would have been unfair), Josephine, like five more of mine, Allison, a few more of mine, then Lance and Andrea. It was pretty funny, everyone was like, "OMG Erica, why do you have so many tickets?!?!"
So yeah, Chinese school was pretty amazing. Last actual day of class; next week is the end-of-the-year ceremony. I have successfully survived yet another year of Chinese school! xP Go me!

I Feel So Off...

Yes, it's 2:20am, I'm still surviving on 2 1/2 hours of sleep, and I feel very very off. I doze off a lot normally, but I'm zoning out like every two minutes now. It's really weird. Then I just feel weird in general. It's not a very good feeling; it's like there's something wrong with me. And then I'm crazy tired, but I REALLY don't want to sleep. Blah, I'm going to go try to sleep (I doubt I can though), and hope stuff gets better in the morning. I doubt it though, I've been feeling off since Sunday... What the hell is wrong with me?

Hugs

Hugs are good stuff. Yeah, contrary to popular belief, I am NOT hug-a-phobic. It's just that hugs are very often awkward. And I don't do awkward. =P But yeah, in general, hugs are actually rather nice. They're sweet. They make me feel loved, and feeling loved is always a nice feeling. =] And I have nothing against giving people hugs either. It's just usually weird if you randomly go up to someone and give them a hug. But hey, if you really want a hug, then sure, I'll give you one. And if you look like you need one, yeah, you're getting one. xD So yeah, I have absolutely nothing against hugs, so you people can just erase that mindset from your mind.

Bored in French

As always. But we're at the lab today! xD I'm so not used to a desktop keyboard anymore; it's sort of sad. Ah well.
Anyways, I wrote this whole spiel during chem since I was so bored after the test, but i showed it to Alex and forgot to get it back. =P Ah well.

So TA was amazingly boring today. I was tired as hell; staying up until 4am was definitely NOT a good idea, especially since I had to wake up at 6:30am. Yeah, 2 1/2 hours of sleep. What a fail. xD So yeah, I was just dozing/half sleeping during TA.

The chem test was harder than usual, but not too bad. I got a really weird answer for one of the work problems though, so I probably got that one wrong. Ah well. Then I just rambled for a while... Er... a page and a half. xP And finished my chem homework.

Brunch was boring; I punched Zach and got restrained (like always) in return.

I did not get ANYTHING we did in physics. I sat there and just smiled and nodded. xD We have so much homework! Ah! D= Then we did Castle Lab #2, which I half BS-ed since I wasn't there Tuesday when we started it. And I didn't get far in tutorial the day after...

Lunch was interesting. Just the usual. Got harassed a bit more than usual I guess, but meh. Then I smacked people more. And more people got involved; Ross actually wasn't passive for once! It was sort of funny; I was about to punch him, and then he was all like, "Watch out. Watch out. Watch out." so I was confused but it turns out Mr. Corti was walking by. xD Good thing I didn't punch him until after...

And now I'm in French. Fun day. Piano later, which will probably suck. And I just remembered that I was actually supposed to make a post on hugs. Woops. I'll do that later; I've got time. xP

Love...

Love is amazing. Love is blind. Love means caring more about the other person than yourself. Love means the ability and willingness to let those you care for choose their own course in life without any insistence that they satisfy you. Love is Romeo and Juliet, Paris and Helena, Orpheus and Eurydice, Pyramus and Thisbe, Lancelot and Guinevere. Love is giving it your all without asking anything in return. Love is like a bowl of ice cream on a wonderful summer day. Love is taking a walk at night, just looking at the stars. Love is that warm fuzzy feeling that goes from your toes up when you see that special person. Love is being able to joke around and tease each other as much as you want, but with another side to the play. Love is falling asleep with him (or her) on your mind every night. Love is being happy whenever you see that person smile. Love is here, and now.

...And what could be love is causing some problems and doubts for a little DINOKitty here.

Jaguars > Pumas (As Expected)

Anyways, TA today was actually pretty busy. Lots of phone calls and stuff. Courtney (Dearborn, not Laux) never showed up, so I was answering the calls, but Robert was reading his book in the corner (like always) so I'd get all the late slips too, but then Lois was like, "You know what? Don't do the counter any more. Make Robert get the counter." So yeah. Although I really don't mind... Ah well.

Chemistry was rather boring. We had a homework quiz, and I could've sworn I missed the second problem since I did it a totally different way than she did, but apparently it worked since I got the same answer. Oh well, not complaining. Then we didn't have any homework (test next class) so I wrote this page and a half "About Me" type thing. I think I found a new thing to do during boring periods in chem. xP

Brunch was pretty uneventful. Went around and talked to people. I think someone set off a stink bomb though, it was rather nasty.

I was there for about half of physics. During which we went over homework and discussed "Castle Lab #2," which I didn't have time to do because I had to leave for recruiting.

Iron Horse recruiting was way more successful. No one boo-ed us! xD So we got there about an hour before 8th grade lunch started, so we just hung around, practiced, and talked. Then I ran a lap around the track, and one around the field because I was feeling just really full of energy and everything. Not that many people watched our demos, but tons took flyers and we got WAY more interest than at Pine Valley. It was encouraging. Then I saw Sean (Vivian's brother) and Jiehee (Jung's sister). Jiehee got a ton of her friends to scream my name across the quad; it was pretty awesome. That's probably the most popular I've ever felt at a middle school, including my three years spent at one. =P I visited a ton of my teachers too. Ms. Brown wasn't there, which was sad, and I don't think Mrs. Keller remembered me clearly. But ah well. I had a conversation in French with Mme Prochnow; that was pretty cool. Then I visited Mrs. Goodhue (who apparently talked about me to her students after I left, like the usual, "Oh she was such a good student!" stuff) and Mrs. LaHive (who also said I was a "star student" to this lady who was talking to her at the time). So yeah, it was pretty nice. =]

We went to Subway and Cold Stone afterward and got some food/ice cream. It made me happy. Clarie and I shared a "Love It" size Berry Tart Yogurt with gummi bears. It was rather delicious. I still say my strawberry ice cream with graham cracker crust owns tough. =P Then afterward, we went back to Cal and just sort of hung out in the hallway in front of the guard room for a while, eating ice cream and talking and stuff. Then we went to Mr. J and asked for passes, and he was all like (with a smile), "Did you guys go to get lunch?" And we went, "Maaaaaaybe..." Aha, not that he really cares that much though, so it's all good.

We did absolutely nothing in French today. We're having a party with fruit tarts and eclairs and yummy stuff (on my birthday!). We went over our New Year's resolutions, which pretty much everyone didn't follow. xD Then somehow we got to talking about my age, and half the people were really surprised I was only fourteen, so I mentioned that my birthday was this month, which was slightly stupid of me, since Mme Goldin obviously asked when it was. Then when I told her, she announced it to the class, and was talking about how great it was that the class party was on my birthday. xP Ah well.

Not much happened after school. Although when Zach tried to poke me, I hid in the corner and sat on this switch box thing, and when he actually poked me, my left elbow just involuntarily jerked backwards and smashed into the wall. It was sort of amusing, but then it sort of hurt too. xD

Party!!!

Anyways, it was freaking AWESOME! General summary here, since I don't really feel like going into too much detail. =P Cory and Simon actually showed up earlier than I expected (they said three, but were there around two), and Hsiang and Jillian were there when I showed up too. Then the whole group of people would consist of Zach, Eric, Ross, Simon, Cory, Neehar, Ashwin, Tommy, Hsiang, Marc, Giulio, Lucy, Jillian, Melanie, and me.

I got pelted with water balloons and thrown/pushed/dragged into the pool probably a minimum of 15 times... Plus Super Soaker fights. =D So pretty much everyone got SOAKED. I'm so glad I brought a change of clothes now. xP Preparing in advance ftw! xP

Then Zach had this huge assortment of poppers and stuff. At one point, Marc disassembled one and told me to snap the popper part with my hands, but I didn't know it was the popper part, and people said nothing would happen. So when I got halfway through, and nothing was happening, I was like, "Oh okay," and snapped the rest. And it blew up in my face. That thing scared the SH*T out of me. Never doing that EVER again. xP

We played some Rock Band (singing is pretty much all I can do half well), ate food (chocolate fondue fountains =D). Then we played air hockey, and a fail game of charades, which was still fun. Card games (BS, Spoons, etc) and Brawl were pretty awesome too, except I think I kill myself more times in Brawl than I get killed by other people.

Then some people (for some weird reason) decided to amuse themselves playing chess. Then again, I can't talk since I don't even know how to play chess. xD

And then we played Twister, which was exceptionally awkward, and involved me getting pinned under Cory and Zach at various points in time. But it was pretty awesome. Plus we had a mini pillow fight. =D

And I got picked up by Zach quite a few times today. And Hsiang actually picked me up once too. And he said I was light. Glad to know? I guess this means that most people can pick me up... Not necessarily a good thing... Ah well.

And I met Simba (Zach's cat)! He's soooo cute!!!

Oh, and I happened to get hurt at the party too. I banged my left elbow so hard on like a chair or something that I felt it all the way up through my hand, and it hurt like a b*tch. But whatever. xD Then I have this mini cut on my left index finger (probably from Twister) and this really long, thin cut on my right thumb (no idea where that came from). Then Zach accidentally elbowed me really hard in the mouth. Just me, getting hurt for no apparent reason. xP

Anyways, it was amazingly fun. Totally made my week. =]

So. Freaking. Bored.

Welcome to my life. I woke up at like 3:30pm today. xD Yep, that's me. Uhhh... Ate food. Talked to people. Got yelled at by my parents for not studying for SAT IIs, so I did that for a while. Played piano. Studied more. Talked to friends more. Played Fruit Ninja (that game is AMAZING. High score - 235). And now I'm here.

Read some quotes online in search of a few good ones to make into picture quotes; I still like coming up with my own quotes though. I found quite a few depressing ones. =[ I made Simon one out of his quote though, it was amazingly adorable.

Yep, that's about it. Such a boring little girl. xP Ah well. Party tomorrow! (Er... Later today. =P) I can't wait! It's going to be awesome!

New Hobby =]

I Got AIDS and Syphilis Today

So school was pretty cool. Finished about half of my Chinese school homework in TA, and pretty much sat around for the rest of the period.

Math was boring; finished homework up to the stuff that will be assigned next Thursday. I didn't get how to do it; it made me sad. =[ I lucked out today too, Mr. Shack called on Lucy and me because we were talking (about next week's homework) and asked us to answer questions, but I knew the answer because I'd already done that homework. xP

We took a HELLA easy Lord of the Flies final in English. Like, one of the matching was "Water from the sky" (rain). Yeah, I know. It was sad. Then we played Scrabble. =D

Lunch was nice today. No random poking and getting lifted upside down; Zach was on his Great America field trip for calculus. =P I sang Disney songs with Vivian too; "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," "Kiss the Girl," and "I Won't Say I'm in Love" dominated. It was pretty awesome.

Euro was AMAZING. We had a pizza party. =D Then this movie was playing, but it was boring, so no one really watched it. I only saw one part: this guy hung a watermelon from a tree, went like 100 yards away, and shot it. It exploded. =P Then Shannie, Sophia, and I took a walk and stuff. Then I played "Fruit Ninja." It's really amusing. So yeah, pretty cool.

Chinese school was hella fun. We had a quiz thing that I totally didn't know about (because I didn't go last week), but it was all good because it was open book. xP Then we read the section, and Stanley, Daniel, and I totally like said it all really loud. It was amusing, especially since Stanley and I didn't know half the words. Plus we sang "You Belong With Me" (T Swift) and "Replay" (Iyaz), so that was pretty fun too.

Then we made ninja stars (Stanley, Kim, Lance, and me) and just chucked them at people. =P I tried to chuck one at Michael, and I threw it really hard, but he dodged and it landed in one of the top shelves of a cabinet thing. xD Then afterward, Stanley wrote diseases on his ninja stars and threw them at people (primarily me). So I was infected with AIDS and syphilis. Wonderful. xP

I haven't actually hung out with Michael and Kim all that much lately; like actual talking and all that. Usually it's just playing around and I sit with Josephine, so today was pretty nice.

*****

As for recruiting yesterday, middle schoolers are mean. Clarie dropped and I think Laura? dropped her rifle, and they tried to boo us off the stage. Psh. And some of the middle schoolers are really... eh now. Like they dress sort of... you know, and carry around purses and wear tons of makeup and everything. But we got a lot of interest, which was good, and it was pretty fun in general.
Then afterward, Clarie and I went to her house and had sushi and ice cream. Yay!!!
So yeah, I think we should have a decent amount of newbies next year. I'm psyched!

*****

Three day weekend!!! And Zach's party on Sunday should be pretty damn awesome too. =D

I Stay Up Way Too Late

So I've been up until 3am the past... 3 days? Just doing nothing; talking to people, listening to music, and such. Anyways, not that much has happened.

I don't have to go to Kumon anymore! I'm "on a break." -coughs- I don't mind; that place was torture anyways. Plus I don't really need the money. -shrugs-

I went to Yogurtland with Clarie after Kumon yesterday; it was yummy. =P Fruit-flavored frozen yogurt is FTW. With strawberries and gummi bears on top. =D

Today was pretty boring; we did nothing in TA, trig test wasn't too bad. I hung out with the frosh in Foss during brunch. We had a limbo competition. xP English was retarded, as always. We did NOTHING in Euro; half the class just wandered around campus. Then I had to get my picture taken for a school-wide award thing. And Lynette said I was her favorite aide. =D

Lunch was fun. I think I got lifted upside-down three times? Well whatever. And I got my shoes stolen. And Robyn picked me up a few times as well. xP

Still can't wait for Sunday! Guard recruiting tomorrow at Pine Valley; it's going to be FUN!

Excited For Parade!

Anyways, today was pretty uneventful.

TA was boring, I didn't answer a single call and only wrote one pass. xD Not that I'm complaining.

Mr. Shack wasn't there in trig today (we had a student teacher), but I finished all my homework that will be assigned this week. I'm proud of myself. Of course, Melanie thinks I'm crazy, but whatever. =P

I stole Hsiang's microphone during brunch and went around "interviewing" people. It was amusing. Apparently he had the mic to record stuff for the poetry project, but whatever.

English was RETARDED. She told us to start writing our essay for our assigned symbol in Lord of the Flies, which I totally BS-ed. My topic's the scar, and I know what it symbolizes (the evil/destruction wrought by mankind, duh) but there's literally NO evidence to support my thesis in the book. There's about a total of 3 quotes that I can incorporate reasonably (and none of them are actual evidence, more like BS evidence), and the rest of the quotes are like, "He looked round the scar." Oh yeah. "This shows his contemplation as to the defect upon the island, a microcosm for the world, and therefore suggests that he is pondering the effects and consequences of wreaking similar havoc upon his establish community." Yeah, no. So that was stupid.

Lunch was pretty boring. Didn't get lifted upside down or anything today though, which was good. It was POURING outside; sort of crazy if you think about it, since it's spring and all. But oh well.

Euro was amazingly boring. We did absolutely nothing. Shannie, Sophia, and I took a walk around campus and just talked. Too bad Mr. Lambert didn't put on a movie; that would have kept me occupied. Ah well...

*****

The guard meeting after school was pretty fun. We choreographed our recruiting dance/work for when we visit Pine Valley (Thursday) and Iron Horse (Tuesday) to try and get some 8th graders to sign up for guard next season.
So yeah, and then we ate cookies/brownies/Chewy bars. xP We're all such fatties.
And Mr. Johnson took us over the stuff for next year; our uniforms are actually amazingly pretty. I like them. =D Then it's only 6 hours of practice a week (3:30-6:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, no Saturday practices), $350 (wayyy better than the $600 or so this season), same amount of competitions (5), and just pretty awesome in general. I'm so psyched for parade season, but now there's probably going to be more pressure than ever to not drop. Because that would SUCK; the judges are like, right in front of you. Not that we EVER drop in a show anyways though, right??? xP

*****

So yep. I'm pretty excited for parade season! Can't wait for Sunday and the party though; I want school to be OVER.

Dreams Are Delicious

So I dreamed about having this continental breakfast buffet. It was pretty awesome. So there were scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, mashed potatoes (which was REALLY weird), watermelon, berries, yogurt, cereal, hard-boiled eggs, scones, toast, bagels, donuts, waffles, mini pancakes with butter/syrup/jelly, and tons of other yummy food. I woke up hungry. xP

Iron Man 2

Pretty awesome movie. I really have to watch the first one. xP But anyways, lots of action, but plenty of comic relief too. Saw Nari, Ramsey, and Cady there too (not together obviously).

Anyways, Simon and I gave JR his present (sixteen bucks in folded dollar origami). It was pretty cool. =P Then he forgot to take it home and left it with Nick. xD On accident, or so he says.

We went to Fuddruckers for food, then walked over to Quickly's for boba. Then we hung outside Barnes&Nobles (yep, what nerds). And we say a police officer on a Segway doing nightly rounds or something; it was pretty funny. Had some rather interesting conversations like "The Hobo in My Front Yard." Duy and I should write a book on that; it'd be amusing. Oh yeah, and Simon, Duy, and I found this cart with a stroller thing attached, so I bet we could sit in it, but they didn't believe me. So I sat in it. Then Duy pushed me across the store front for a while. xD

Anyways, a pretty awesome day; can't wait for Zach's party next Sunday with water balloons and exploding stuff. =P

Done with AP Testing!

Probably failed both of them, but I don't care right now. I won't care until I get my scores. xD Yay! Time to relax in French and Euro!!!
I didn't do much this whole week. Studied for Euro, which was still pretty bad. I found this rose on the floor near where we eat lunch, and threw it at Zach, and by the end of the day, he ended up with it, so I was like okay, that's done. But no. He brought it the next day and put it in my backpack. Yeah. Crazy, huh? Plus he brought this freaking impossible puzzle to school that pissed me off. -.- Fell asleep while talking to him yesterday too. Woops. xP
Plus Zach and I have formspring creepers. Yay! Formspring = gathering site for creepers, haters, and stalkers. And people stupid enough to tolerate these guys. I find them amusing, but my creeper is starting to really freak me out.

On another topic, Iron Man 2 with DVHS people tomorrow. I'm using it as a destresser. =P

AP French Language Test

Yeah, that was all bad. Very, very much so. Je ne reussirai pas.

HA! I WIN!!!

.

I believe I've found proof that me getting the amount of sleep I get each night, plus my 3-4 hour naps after school actually works. =D
