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
