highly amusing XD

Almost forgot, again.

Then again it probably wouldn't really have mattered much since I posted a couple of times over the week (sometimes vacation is just so boring...but I would have it any other way :D)

So currently I've been half-rushing to finish my homework, I say half because I've been procrastinating :D and I do have it under control, really, All I have left is an english paper to write (that I've already pretty much outlined what I'm going to write) and make a Brochure (of course it has to be completely in Japanese...but meh) the brochure part kinda worries me, but I'm doing it of Japantown, and can't really finish it till 2morrow so I guess it's okay :P


My dad's coming back tomorrow night :D never really realized how much I couldn't do without him here, I guess it'll teach me to appreciate him better :/

Guess this is all for now :P

Bye~

p.s. btw wtf is the mood quixotic anyways? well I'm being that this time just cause it has the weirdest name.

Damn it my heater's broken right now so it's freezing in my house =.=

and if my firefox weather-forecaster is to be believed (which it shouldn't), it's 51 degrees

which means it's probably 40-something .

grah.

p.s. Really I'm only posting so often cause I'm really bored, I could do homework, but where's the fun in that?

so right now I'm at my friend's house :D
nothing really to post O_o

my friend says 'blow nipples'

and no don't ask.

ho-hum we made weird looking brownies O_o and watched Transformers!!! yay, I heard that T2's coming out soon too O.o i'll probably go see it then :3

and that's it I guess :P

so TA~

haha, almost forgot to post here (again) :P

anyways Happy Valentines everyone! hope all you couples out there are happy and all you single people are either content or find someone too (personally I'm in the content area of single :P)

moving on, I got to talk with my #1 favorite art teacher Mr. Temple on Friday when he subbed for Mr. Holland :D ah fun lunch times. Of course I had to skip 3 club meetings to do it but it was worth it. :3

hmm, what else to talk about? well break has started (ski week! :D) and it has yet to sink in to me yet (probably won't till Monday or something), I woke up at 7:30am today =.=, well, woke up as in I-looked-at-the-clock-said-fuck-no-and-went-back-to-sleep then kept waking up at hr intervals till 10:30 when I just got up :3.

Lately I've been re-reading my manga in my manga shelf (believe me, I have a lot) and by lately I mean today and yesterday :P it's been fun :3

oh, and somehow I got a 7 on my slaughterhouse-five essay in AP Lit (that translates to a 93%) and if this progress report e-mail that I got is correct, a 6 (88% I believe) on my Pride and Prejudice essay and a 7 on my essay of a poem (which I find surprising since we just wrote those essays yesterday in class (as a test)

and for those essays I was getting of this sugar high I accumulated at lunch when I ate a BUNCH of sweets so I was really tired, not to mention I didn't even finish the poem essay (didn't get to the conclusion) and I was very dissatisfied with it (I wonder if I can re-write it O_o)

Oh, here's this thing on facebook going around via notes where you list 25 things about you or whatever, but I thought I'd just do it here, since 1.) I don't wanna tag anyone cause that's just stupid and 2.) I felt like it :P

1.) I use to live in Massachusetts
2.) I hate watching sports on TV, I mean really, what's the point?
3.) my room is usually a total mess, but I know where everything is.
4.) I <3 anime and manga
5.) I hate going to movies, I don't even know why but I just hate it.
6.) I've always wanted to just go outside and take pictures of whatever interested me but I've never had a good enough camera.
7.) I love doing art but I don't think I could do it as a job
8.) There are certain things that, when I see them, give me the impulse to destroy them. (for example a lotus flower, the petals and the flower itself I don't mind but that middle part that's yellow and has weird bumps... when I see that I want to rip it apart and... even thinking about the plant makes me wanna destroy it.)
9.) I'm very sensitive to what people think of me.
10.) I like breaking out into song at random times but I'm too shy to do it in public
11.) I can understand 3 languages almost to fluency but I can't speak 2 of them
12.) I like having random collections of things
13.) my older brother's girlfriend has the same birthday as me.
14.) I love to learn, but I hate doing work.
15.) On my mom's side my ancestors were scholars and had to flee to Taiwan
16.) On my father's side my ancestors were farmers but now are successful business owners.
17.) I am the youngest on my father's side of the family (my oldest cousin is around 45)
18.) I am a first generation American citizen on both sides of my family
19.) Someday I want to go traveling the world
20.) Personally, I don't think Disneyland is that great.
21.) I get into weird fazes, right now I'm in a 'bento box' faze where I wanna make a bunch of cute bento boxes. (what's weirder is that I know it's a faze but go along with it anyways)
22.) I have high expectations of everything but I'm also really lazy
23.) my senior t-shirt is one of the weirdest/ugliest designs I have ever seen but I bought one anyways.
24.) I love to cook and trying out new recipies
25.) I do believe in faeries, I do! I do!



and, well, I guess that's it.... Unless there's something else that I've forgotten but if so, I'll either put up another post (*le-gasp*) or just edit this one :/ so till later!

Might as well post something.

So a long long while has passed since I last posted and now it's the 2nd semester.

Here are my classes :D
1.)Japanese 5
2.)Physics
3.)Calculus B/C
4.)Literature

:3 kinda going @_@ at all the work, but I'm slowly starting to reach an equilibrium (I think) so maybe things will get back on track. I don't really know what else to post here :/ I could talk about my classes but it's the weekend and I don't wanna think about them just yet :/ (relax time and all) Oh! I can talk about Akane!

So Akane is this Japanese exchange student I'm hosting from mid March-mid June (I'll be the 3rd host sister), she's been here for the entire school year already (hosted by 2 of my other friends) and she's really funny XD ah Akane, for her birthday (Jan 17) me and my friend Ainsley (Akane's 2nd host sister) and Ainsley's mom took Akane to disneyland :D that was great, here are some pictures :D

Akane to the left and Ainsley to the right
Me, Ainsley, Akane with pooh!
Akane and me with some clam chowder :3


X3

well now I've got to go prepare for a dentist appointment (god.) so till next time :D

(hmm, maybe I'll make this a weekly blog?)

WHY MUST THEY KEEP SWITCHING MY SCHEDULE

arg. now i have calculus 3rd and I got a TA job for 2nd =_=


god this is annoying

so, actually I don't have anything to rant about really cause i fixed the problem today =D.

my class schedules is like this (unless they change it and if they did I would shoot them :3)

1st semester block scheduling:

1. AP Government and Economics
2. AP Calculus A/B
3. AP Literature
4. Psychology

2nd semester:

1. AP Japanese 5
2. Physics
3. AP Calculus B/C


wow, i didn't realize i was taking so many AP classes till now XDD

I don't actually know if my physic's class is AP or not, but i don't think it is >_>

i think i would die hella fast if it was >_> (not that i'm not gonna die fast... but still.)

I think this is the 1st time i've had only 3 classes in awhile O.o

anyways I'm also (hopefully) joining the tennis team, though I have to work that out because I also have SAT classes on Tuesday's, Thursday's, and Saturdays so that'll be a bitch.

If it gets too much I'll probably drop the tennis team (if i get on), though I probably wouldn't be let in anyways cause I can't go to the matches for obvious reasons (they have them tuesdays and thursdays.)

I think that's it for now O_o

oh yeah, our landyards are fugly this year =_= dear god.

omg, haven't been on livejournal for hella long, but thanks so much to my friend (kccatastrophic) for re-vamping my page!!!! it makes me really happy XDDD

OMG~!!~!~!

<3<3<3

I'll probably be on live journal now more XD
and i'll probably post a rant about my school later, but at the moment I'm too happy too XDD

so i guess it'll wait till at least 2morrow XDD

i'm going to the party with my brother (can't go by myself cause it's 'unsafe')

>:3 and i'm BUYING IT and hopefully getting a free t-shirt with it >:3

AND winning something in the raffle.

but i'm not pushin it.


Anyways. So i made some strawberry cream puffs today (they look....homemade...)

which reminds me of a conversation i had with my brother when i was making them

m=me b=brother

m:well.... at least they can tell it was homemade...
b: yeah cause they look RETARDED!
m:!!!
b:hey i'm here too!

so yeah O.o

i swear, me and my brother got high when we were making them.

and no not with drugs.

with sugar!

yeah it's this thing that happens with my family. When we eat sugar, we get giddy, and giddy=hyper.

It's even worse when we're with eachother cause then we feed off eachother and whoa.


yeah. Needless to say, me and my brother laughed

alot.

:3

making another batch of cream puffs 2morrow 2!

i can't wait to get crisis core :3 even if i can't play it :3

yeah, i'm a nerd

but i'm damn proud of it.



:3

i'm a member of the square enix now >:3 (on their forum/website that is >:3)

mwahaha

anyways, i REALLY wanna go buy crisis core 2morrow at the metreon in SF 2morrow but there's only one problem



I don't own a PSP.

but i think i'll go anyways, just to buy one and possibly get a free shirt and try and win some stuff in the raffles :3

just cause i can.

MWAHAHAHAHA


o, there are some kids from japan over this week and while i'm not hosting them, i met 2 of them yesterday when i went to go watch the movie 'Horton Hears a Who'

which is a pretty funny movie :3

i'm glad i watched it ^-^

GO JOJO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:3

anyways so there's a potluck on wed for the whole group of them at a nearby park, so i'm planning on making strawberry cream puffs :3

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :3

that's all for now, might post later today.


maybe.

blah, i haven't updated in a while,

there's been plenty to talk about, but i just haven't brought myself to talk about it on a blog.

Well I definately need to get braces....again

goddamn

though i MIGHT not have to get 3 teeth pulled out

might.


i'm going to (ANOTHER) orthadontist for (ANOTHER) 2nd opinion this Tuesday (WOOt for spring break)

Kaplan SAT classes have been draining, i'm lucky that i have a break now but i don't even wanna THINK about april,

no rest has been coming.


i'm going to be very tired for a very very long time....

god i don't think i can handle this.

but i have to so i guess i will, though i can't say much about my mental capability.


Yeah my ego took kind of a dive when i got my kaplan SAT practice test results back

i got a 1430

WTF?!?!!?!??!! i got higher on the PSAT?!?!?!?1


DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

man that hurt =_=

maybe now this'll make me take stuff more seriously...

but seriously

THAT LOW?!?!?!??! DDDDDDDDD:

god. I seem to be having an off month.


and i don't see it getting ANY better =_=

for the past couple day's i've been sick, but it hasn't really gotten too bad since Tuesday an Wed.

Tuesday i couldn't even TALK

and wed i stayed home from school so i wouldn't be spreading my germs everywhere and so i'd have more time to sleep.


Well anyways why does it seem like i always wake up at the wrong time when i want to sleep =_=.

like NOW?!?!?!?

i JUST woke up and i tried to take at nape AT 3:30 PM ON WED =_=


i haven't even done any Tues. HW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


=_= goddamn.

k,so yesterday i got back from a birthday sleepover party thing and at like 1-2 o'clock i fell asleep on my parent's bed thinking i was gonna take a nap right?

so i woke up and the clock said 6:00 so i got up and brushed my teeth (cause i was going to do that before but i felt so tired that i figured i would do it after my nap) went on the computer and at 6:45 my mom yelled out

6:48! Gloria!

me = confused

and when i heard my dad wake up i was like

ooooooooooooooooo shit

it's the MORNING

and that's my story =______=


T_T i slept the last day of vacation away!!! DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

on the bright side though i don't feel tired O.o

but still!!! DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

aug...

i went to the eye doctor today and while i got new glasses (woot) i had to get my eyes dialated


goddamn it!

i hate my eyes dialated, it lasts SO much longer than it's suppose to for me, last time my eyes hurt for the ENTIRE day! =_=

though it does seem slightly better this time in terms of how much light my eyes can take, it's still painful though =_= graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

and apparently there might be a blackout tonight since a storm is coming...

so meh,


DDDDDDDDDD: vacation's almost over!

T~T m(_ _)m

just cause it did FOREVER to do

(  maybe it's under the bed...  )

i suppose i should photoshop some more icons and banners and figure out how to make the entry box semi-transparent

if that's even possible =.=

hopefully i get this right this time too =.=

well. In all utter honesty i have never, EVER, thought about getting a live journal before, and i suppose the only reason why i have one now is for...

well probably 2 main reasons.


1.) i was bored
and
2.) i wanted to see what was on one of the LJ community things that i got linked to from Google
probably the main thing I'm going to talking about in this journal is the banner thing i made up there

took me a while but i like how it turned out :3

yay for photoshop!!!!!!!!!!!! *dances*

I've recently gotten really into Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion if you couldn't tell, usually this would be entirely kingdom hearts (which is still one of my major obsessions) but for now, it's CG :3

and I'm still trying to figure out how the hell you figure our live journal.... so i guess this is a learning experience? =.=


well enough of this,

later.
