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

Virgin Snow/Taiyou No Uta
Virgin SnowIt was so cute! I definitely recommend this. =D So sweet! <3> He totally beat up those guys trying to take his bike (that 360 kick was awesome though) and he dropped all of Nanae's painting utensils into the river (after diving into it, even though it was about 2 feet deep). Not to mention that after his friend tells him to be subtle, he starts jumping up and down outside Nanae's classroom window. XP So funny. But he's so sweet too! Learning how to make pottery so that he can make it while Nanae paints it...
Taiyou No Uta
This one sounds pretty good to. I'm probably going to start it tomorrow or Sunday. Apparently it's about a girl who is allergic to the sun, so she lives by night, singing and playing her guitar in the square outside the train station, and a guy who loves to surf as the sun rises. They meet when she's doing one of her performances, which is also her sole connection to the outside world, and the story progresses from there...
Today was... Interesting
So in Mock Trial, we had a practice run of the defense side. It was sort of funny, because Luke was crossing me, and he was like, "Ms. Lane's song contained violent lyrics, did it not?" Since my witness statement doesn't say whether I think they're violent or not, I was just like, "No." You could totally tell he got flustered too, and he kept asking me until I was like, "I believe that I have expressed my opinion on this matter already." XD It was pretty awesome.
We started glazing in ceramics today! I'm glazing my dragon/footed pinch pot... which is now missing a toe. -.- But whatever. It's dark blue/purple (Dar Nautical) with light blue (Bright Heather) and lavender (Bright Grape) spikes on its tail, and a light blue rim. It's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Glazing takes forever though! It took me like an hour and a half to put on two coats (I'm putting on three total), and my project isn't even that big. It takes way less clean-up time than making the projects though.
English was just boring. Like always. We learned about HTRLLAP (How to Read Literature Like a Professor), and defined some words. And Courtney and Robin had their conferences, and it was really funny, because Mrs. Foss was all like, "A 76/77 is not a bad grade." *cough*
Lunch was amusing. I was really hyper, so I started singing "Ultimate Showdown" and "Harry Potter in the Hood" all the time. XD
Biology was... very weird. Haha. We looked at the uterus and testis of mammals. Then Brenden was like, "We can tell our grandchildren about this!" So I was like, "Yeah, we can be like, 'Back in my day, we looked at testicles up close and personal!'" Then I realized how wrong that sounded. XD Speaking of bio, we have a whale-watching trip! =D So happy! I'm going to bring my camera and hope I get lucky! Yay!
Chinese school was weird. We didn't do much, but we learned this really retarded "dance" that's not really a dance for our New Year's celebration. It's so freaking stupid. -.- I swear that Kim should have taught us hip-hop; that would have been so cool! But noooooo, we're stuck doing some weird dance thing like the ones they teach you in middle school PE. -.-

Rachel's Challenge
... you just may start a chain reaction.
The assembly was pretty depressing, but it was really motivational too. Like I, personally, tend to judge people a lot and regret my actions later, but I'm working towards not doing that anymore. It made me realize how selfish we, as human beings, are. I mean, every person for themselves, huh? But I really want to make a difference in the world, even if it's a tiny one, so I'm accepting Rachel's Challenge. Are you? Lol.
But anyways, the assembly was really sad, and sort of creepy and unbelievable (I mean, she predicted her own death, and some dude in Ohio had a dream about Rachel's drawing), but it was pretty inspiring. And I'm really tired today, plus I still need to read Ch 3-4 of OMAM (why did Steinbeck have to be a writer? -.-), and do some two weeks worth of Chinese homework that I haven't started.

Christmas Shopping!
I seriously have to start. =/ I'm probably mainly going to make gift bags for all of my friends, except for my really close ones, whom I'm actually going to get presents for, like... Courtney and Lisa? Haha. I really don't know what Courtney wants, and she refuses to tell me, but Lisa just want jewelry or gift cards to places like Hollister or whatever.
I'm debating whether I should make the little icing bag things with hot chocolate and marshmallows and peppermint candies, but I can't find the cone-shaped bags, so... Maybe I'll just make regular goodie bags. Here's a list of things I might put in:
~ Instant hot chocolate! (It's good! XD)
~ Cookies! (Yum! I'll have to wait for the frosting to harden though... Ho hum.)
~ Candy (Like chocolate, candy canes, peppermint candies, etc...)
~ Specialized candy canes (Made by yours truly!)
~ Maybe some little gift thing? I don't know.
But yeah. Hm. I'm going to have to think about this more... Oh, by the way, if any of you people reading this has something you want for Christmas, post it here! I'll try to get it for you, unless it's like... $500 *coughs* Jung *coughs* but otherwise, yeah.
I hope all of you guys have better luck finding present for your friends than me! Haha. And for those of you who want to ask me what I want for Christmas, quite frankly, I don't have anything in mind, and I wouldn't tell you anyways, but I like books by James Patterson and kitties! *wink wink* Haha. Otherwise, surprise me! =D

Pen Mods
Yeah, Courtney was posting about it on her blog, so I figured, what the hell? I'll look them up. XD I found this pretty awesome site called PenWish that sells pen mods and parts and just regular pens and crap. So I was scrolling through the Pre-Made Mods, and the Metal Comssa's look pretty dang awesome. =P Especially the ones with hoops, like the black hoop one. Too bad they don't have some like, say, a Metal Comssa Bling Blue Hoops (with the body part of the pen in the picture above, and blue/white hoops), because that would look pretty dang awesome. I'd buy it... even though I can only do TA (thumbaround). XDD Hey, I can do it on my left hand now too! XD And I can almost do TA Reverse on right. XD I was practicing with my chopsticks today because I was bored. Lol.
But yeah, it's a pretty cool site, and I recommend it for anyone who pen spins and need parts to mod pens (if you don't mind buying them online; the shipping is like, $5, so it's not that bad) or just wants ideas to mod pens. =D

Movie-Dramas = Life
Nowadays, I'm watching movie-dramas (M-D). They're basically romance movies that have about the same content as love dramas. I have too much homework and crap in my life to get addicted to dramas with 24 episodes, an hour each. So, I watch my movie/dramas! They're only about 2-ish hours total, so if I really want, I can finish it in a day.
Fated to Love YouIt's a really funny, but really cute love drama that's currently rated #1 in Taiwan. Personally, I liked Romantic Princess more, but Fated to Love You was a pretty good drama. It's about this sticky-note girl (Chen Xin Yi), who accidentally gets pregnant by this director of the company she works for (Ji Cun Xi). It's a really improbable circumstance, but they try to work it out, as Cun Xi already has a girlfriend (Shi An Na), but his grandma (Wang Zhen Zhu) really wants a 10th successor of Mo Fa Ling (that's their company), and Anna doesn't want to have children. The plot line is really funny and totally not probable, but I couldn't stop watching it! The ending was kind of short and abrupt, but all in all, it's definitely worth watching, and you'll get a good laugh out of it. =)
Jenny & Juno
This is a really cute little movie about a fifteen year-old couple (Jae-in/Jenny and Juno). Jenny is pregnant, and they decide to have the baby, but to try and keep it from their parents, but they eventually find out.
I wasn't completely obsessed with this M-D, but it's by far one of the cutest M-D or dramas ever! I swear, Jenny and Juno make the cutest couple I've ever seen, real life, or dramas. Plus, Juno is SO sweet to Jenny! It's like, my perfect guy, haha. So anyways, this is worth watching if you don't have much else to watch, and you just want a little something to pick you up.

Tada Kimi Wo Aishiteru
(aka Heavenly Forest)
(aka Heavenly Forest)
I absolutely loved this drama! Basically, we're seeing this movie from the viewpoint of Segawa Makoto, a shy boy in his freshman year of college. However, he befriends a girl called Shizuru, who is what people would call weird; already 21, she still has the body of a child, and not much fashion sense either. Shizuru is in love with Makoto, but Makoto likes a pretty girl named Miyuki. Shizuru immediately befriends Miyuki, and tries to help Makoto in his pursuit of her. However, she inists that he'll regret not going out with her when she grows up more and becomes the most beautiful woman alive. Shizuru and Makoto both enjoy photography, ad they find a hidden forest by the school where they take their pictures. When Makoto asks Shizuru what she wants for her birthday, she says that she wants a picture of them kissing in the hidden forest to use in order to enter a photography contest. After the hidden forest kiss, Shizuru disappears from Makoto's life...
I absolutely LOVED this M-D! It was almost as cute as Koizora (my all time favorite), and might even surpass Hana Yori Dango (which I've bee obsessed with ever since I watched it a year ago). The ending was kind of sad, but the relationship between Makoto and Shizuru is really cute, and Shizuru is really funny too! DEFINITELY worth watching!!! <3>

Virgin Snow
This one is apparently about a Korean boy (Min) who moves to Japan with his father and falls in love with a girl attending the same school as him (Nanae <-- played by Aoi Miyazaki, who was Shizuru in Tada Kimi Wo Aishiteru). Their friendship is intense despite language and culture barriers. However, his grandmother falls ill, and he rushes bath to Korea, not having time to explain to Nanae why he had to leave, and when he returns, Nanae is nowhere to be found.
I haven't watched this M-D yet, but I'm starting it sometime "today!" It seems like a really good, cute M-D, so I have high expectations for it! =D

The Librarian From Hell
So. I bet that you can't guess what happened in my oh-so-interesting life today! I got kicked out of the library! And no, I wasn't being loud, obnoxious, goofing off, or playing games on the computer. Oh no. I was doing my homework. -.- I mean, since when can't you do your homework in the library? Seriously? What the hell is up with that?
Basically, Mme. Goldin sent Sarah (Boutros) and me over to the library to do homework because Sarah needed a textbook (we didn't know that the Textbook Room closed at two), and we'd already finished our fairytale project, which everyone was working on. So, since there wasn't a box for "Homework," Mme. Goldin marked off "Research," since it was the most appropriate.
Then we get to the library, signed in, and the librarian asks us if we needed computers, since there weren't any available seeing as a class was there. So we told her that we just needed to get a book (not a lie). Then we find out the room is closed, but it was so much quieter in the library that we just stayed, and I did my math homework while Sarah read a book.
Then after about 15 minutes, she got bored and asked the librarian if there were any geometry textbooks, and the librarian (I am not kidding), seriously exploded at her. She was all like, "Why do you need a textbook if you're doing research?!?! It's because you're doing homework, huh?!?!" And me, still working on algebra homework, but listening to their conversation, was all like, "Oh crap." So Sarah comes back and sits down, and we're both like, "Sh*t, we're screwed."
So me, being the awesome, eloquent, sophisticated speaker I am (not. But I can be when I want to! XD), told her that our teacher sent us here to do homework. But then she's like, "Well, the library isn't here for you to do homework! It's for projects and research. If you told me you were here to do homework, I would have sent you back immediately. And technically you lied, because you said you were here for research. Why are you here to do homework anyways?"
So I was just like, "Well, the rest of our class is working on their project, which we've already finished. We figured the library would be quieter than our classroom, and Sarah needed a geometry book." Then she gets all mad again and is like, "Homework is to be done in class, NOT here! You're excused now."
Then I just said, "Okay." Sarah and I started packing up, but NOOOOO she wasn't done yet. -.- She was like, "And you guys are probably going to be put on the short list to never... *trails off* (I think she meant we couldn't come back to the library.) Well, you guys are bailing out of class!"
I was like, "Well, Mme. Goldin knows that we're here to do homework, because she sent us here, so we're not skipping class." And she switches tack and is like, "Fine, well, tell your teacher that she'll probably be getting an e-mail from us, and this is going straight to administration."
I was really pissed off at this point because 1) it's a library for God's sake! Since when can't you do homework in a library? and 2) she's trying to report us for doing homework? What the f*ck? Let's see how well that turns out. *eyeroll* But I knew arguing wouldn't help anymore since she was so intent on kicking us out, so I was just like, "Yes ma'am."
She doesn't even know our names either. I mean, we're the last on the list, but I doubt she's actually going to check; plus there was a class there when we arrived. Besides, it's not like her arguments are going to carry over, I mean, come on, how convincing is, "I think you should assign these kids *insert punishment here* because they were doing homework in the library." And if she says we lied, they'll undoubtedly ask what we lied about, and her saying, "They were supposed to be doing research, not homework" isn't too convincing either. And the ditching class is completely absurd, because Mme. Goldin will obviously dispel that thought in a millisecond.
But yeah. Seriously, all this over doing homework in the library. (Besides, Ross said that you're allowed to during brunch and lunch. I mean, seriously? We have permission too!) What's even wrong with that? We weren't even talking or anything, and besides, the library was totally empty except for us and a library TA when she came and started b*tching at us.

Shopping, Solace, and Sleep!
My awesome three S's of life! Haha. Yeah, I just suck at making up titles. XD Anyways, the three days after Thanksgiving have been pretty uneventful, but here's a nice summary. =P
So the day after Thanksgiving, or Black Friday, whatever you want to call it, we all went shopping. We didn't get much though, on account that my parents went out, came back around 2pm, and my sister slept until 3:30. XD We went to Ulta's (where my sister got 6 bottles of nail polish, and painted my nails delightful shades =P), TJ Maxx (where I got these AWESOME black boots. They're platforms, but they are freaking cool! I liked the brown better, actually, but I already have brown boots, so... yeah. I'm a little obsessed with boots at this moment, can you tell?), Best Buy (didn't get anything), Kohl's (didn't get anything there, either, but I wanted to get some layering cami's that were hella cheap, and this awesome black jacket), and Target (I just got a 1/2" binder for my French project XD). But yeah. Then we got home and stuffed ourselves with Thanksgiving leftover's, lol.
Yesterday, I didn't do much. Finally caught up on all that crappy homework that I have to do, and went to see Quantum of Solace with Kevin, Kevin, Michelle, and Jung. It was okay, the plot was sort of ishy, and the acting was adequate, and the actions was pretty damn awesome. Chases in cars, chases on foot, chases in boats, chases in planes... They forgot the chases on camels though, you know, them being in a desert and all... Afterwards, we went to Safeway, where I got pushed around in a Safeway shopping cart (hey, no one said anything!) by Kevin K and Michelle. XD It was rather fun.
Then today, I just slept. Well, I volunteered at the SPCA obviously (Jinx got adopted! Yay!), but then I got home and slept. Then I was taking a shower but I was really tired, so I sat down under the nozzle and I think I fell asleep, seeing as it took me like... 2 hours. XD Then I played piano (duh) and slept more. =P So yeah, sleeping was the topic of today. Haha. Ew, school starts again tomorrow, waaaaaaaaaah! ='( Oh well... =/
Aren't my nails just gorgeous?
