Sun, 22 Feb 2009 06:01:08 GMT

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.

Brr...

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 22:23:44 GMT

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?

Haha

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 03:44:34 GMT

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~

whoops

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 04:14:33 GMT

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!

Since I'm already here...

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:44:30 GMT

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?)

ARG

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 02:00:16 GMT

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

school

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:10:21 GMT

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.

=D

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 06:31:48 GMT

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

b:hey i'm here too!

so yeah O.o

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

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 ^-^

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

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 09:08:37 GMT

just cause it did FOREVER to do

::The Basics::
1.Name: Gloria
2.Nickname(s): I have a lot (i swear my friends make them up just to annoy me). Arie’s the most popular though (also the longest lasting)
3.Age: 16
4.Gender: female

5.Likes: reading, listening to music, painting (really paint like on canvas. Not like finger painting or whatever), drawing, learning new things (and I mean learning not like at school where it’s a mind-numbing process and there’s homework every night), collecting various things, anime, card games (with friendly gambling, though not with money sadly)
6.Dislikes: annoying, stuck up, and rude people, stupid people, show offs, when things stop me from getting to where I want (both physically and metaphorically), crowded places
7.Fears: humiliation, painful death, failure
8.Goals/Dreams: to be happy and content
9.Talents: painting, play musical instruments (the piano, violin, and flute, though I haven’t played in a while so I’m sure to be pretty bad right now), to speak a word or phrase in a different language almost perfectly (unless it’s really long) after i hear it, and I’m rather good at card games.
10.Hobbies: painting, drawing, reading, collecting, watching anime, card games
11.Strong Points: my smarts and wit, loyalty to whom I love and trust, my creativity
12.Weak Points: I have short bursts of random mood swings, I’m not as physically fit as I want to be, somewhat of a procrastinator, stubborn, and I’m rather possessive and lazy at times.

13.Your General mood: Calm I suppose…

14.What's your personality in three to six words: intelligent, calculating, friendly, reliable, sarcastic.

::Favorite::
15.Color:black, white, blue
16.Animal/Bug: chinchilla maybe, or perhaps a penguin…
17.Food: fuji apples
18.Sport/Game: if there was to be any I suppose it’d be tennis
19.Quote: "Only those prepared to die should fight"

20.Code Geass Character and why: Lelouch, he’s not your typical “hero”. He has his troubles and failures, he’s not perfect but he’s still there looking forward to the future. He’s more like a real person (excluding the geass part of his life) and I admire him.

::Least Favorite::
21.Color: probably pink.
22.Animal/Bug: mosquitoes
23.Food: shrimp, onions, etc.
24.Sport/Game: i have yet to play a sport that i have not liked. but if i had to choose i'd have to say basketball for the sole reason that we played it in p.e. class everyday for 6 MONTHS! =.=

25.Code Geass Character and why: Nina. She disturbs me

::Are you::
26.Mature or Immature: depends really, but mostly mature.
27.a Leader or Follower: I prefer to control things in the shadows, perhaps as a follower if needed. If I am needed as a leader though, I will become one.
28.Optimistic or Pessimistic: I’m a opti-pessa-realist. though it really depends on my mood.
29.Outgoing or Shy: neither really, I’m not shy but I’m quiet and a lot of people mistake that for being shy so...

::Do you prefer::
30.Night or Day: depends on what I need to be doing.
31.Chess or Checkers: I like both really
32.Winter, Fall, Spring or Summer: depends where i am in the world and what kinda seasons they have there (like some places have rain in the winter and etc...) probably Spring or Summer though.
33.Hanging out with alot of people or just a few: just a few
34.Spending sometime with family once in a while or not: once in a while I suppose.
35.Having fun or doing something somewhere quiet: depends on your definition of “fun” since whatever I could be doing somewhere quiet could be fun to me.

::If You::
36.If you had the power of Geass, what would it do? telekinesis or being able to see into the future, both would be useful though potentially problematic .
(would it control people just once like Lelouch's geass? read minds like Mao's geass? something like Nunnally's geass (in Code Geass - Nightmare of Nunnally) that can read the lines of the future? or something completely different altogether?)

37.If you had the choice of being born Eleven (Japanese) or Britannian, which would you choose and why?
honestly i wouldn't care which i was born as, i'd still be doing whatever i'm doing to get though life, if it's easier as a Britannian or harder as an Eleven it doesn't really matter to me.

::Last 3::
38.Include a picture or describe yourself: I’d prefer not, I’m about 5’7”, brown eyes, black hair to my shoulders.
39.Anything else: besides that i hope i'm doing this right? nothing.
40.Please link the 3 people that you were able to vote for: (If there was less than three or no people at all to vote for than please leave a note to the mod saying so here.)
http://community.livejournal.com/codeg_rating/31576.html?view=267352#t267352

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 =.=

Live Journal

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 02:07:52 GMT

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.
