Latest Obsessions

Lovedrug - Spiders
(can't stop listening to it)

I've been obsessing over some stuff lately, like this song. I keep listening to it over and over. When the chorus gets strong, I imagine jumping off a building head first, and just falling. It's not a song you commit suicide to, but rather, the chorus makes me feel like flying, kinda.

I've also been watching a lot of k-drama lately. Just one in particular, really: My Lovely Kim Sam Soon (My Name Is Kim Sam Soon). Good stuff, man. I'm almost done with the series. :D I've also been looking up a lot of pictures of the guy from MLKSS, Jin Hyun(?) (real name: Hyun Bin). Wa~! So.. hot. x_x Yah, I'm one of the rare Asian girls who actually like Asian guys, it seems.

I guess these aren't obsessions as much as they are complaints. I watched The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe yesterday. I was really looking forward to it... what a disappointment. Do not watch it. If you want to watch it, download it. I was actually anticipating its end. Ugh. I won't say anything since I bet people will still go watch it, but yes, it's fucking horrible. Disney... curse you.

I had another small obsessive complaint, but I forgot it as I thought of that movie. -__- Terrible.

Getting Younger As I Age

Do As Infinity - Aurora
(I love DOA!) The guitar for this = love.

So, I was preparing for tomorrow cuz I'm supposed to bring pencils for everyone supposedly. The erasers on my no. 2 pencils suck, so I was digging around for erasers in my desk drawers when I ran into some studio pictures I took back in 8th grade. That was about 3 years ago, and yet, I look older then than now. Well, not really, I guess. I don't know. It just looks so weird cuz it doesn't look like me. Well, it looks like me, but how I look doesn't look like me... o_O
(I just looked at this again, and my face looks really funny. The shape is.. odd or something. Or maybe it's my smile. o_O) (Ah, I just remembered that it's kinda cuz of these pictures that I hooked up with Warren. KAJI SHIYOU!) It's obvious that I'm a little kid in here (a 13-year-old kid, if I'm guessing correctly), yet I look older. I don't know. You can really tell it's some 8th grader, but I look old too. *Shrug* And yes, the flash is on purpose cuz in this picture, you can really see my ass. >___> Good stuff. Yah.. my hair was longer and highlighted then. I think that's the only reason why I look so different cuz that's the only thing that's actually different. People tell me that as I get older, I look younger. I find that weird, but if you look at my dad, it's crazy. He looks way younger now then when he married my mom. I guess it's genetics? It's really odd. So when I'm 20, I'll look like I'm 10, supposedly.

Blah. I wish I were younger. I'm not old, but things were so much simpler when I took this picture. =/ Damn, but I'm pretty happy with how things have changed. Not school-wise, but ... I guess, life-wise. I don't think I've matured by much since I feel that I've been pretty mature since elementary (C'mon. I knew about sex when I was 4). I'm really happy with the friends I have now though. They feel like "The Ones." Haha. But one of them needs to shut up cuz she keeps saying that in one year, we'll split up and never talk again. T__T It's so sad.. I don't want to get older! Gah.

I should get to sleep. I have to wake up in 7 hours for my test, and I'm gonna be damn tired and fall asleep during choukai (listening). =___=; Wish me luck! Again!

Maiasa wa sore mitai dattara, ureshii.
I'd be happy if every morning was like that.

Saturday, Oh, Won't You Be Easy On Me?

최승현 - 반딧불이 (The Classic OST)

Today, I have to do all (at least the majority) of my homework cuz later, I have to go to school for our JLPT 2 1/2 hour study (more like cram) session. And tomorrow, I'll be gone all day. Yay.. I'm kinda looking forward to tomorrow. Of course I'm not excited about the test, but more the part where we go out. I'm pretty nervous now, too. I'm pretty nonchalant about it, but last night, I had a dream that I got exactly a 240 or something. I dreamt it was one of our practice tests though. Still, I'm nervous now. >< I put a lot of time into this. I should put this kind of effort into school... =___= I don't know what it is. When I plan something, I just do it as detailed as I can. I guess I like being prepared? Who knows.

Well, wish me luck for tomorrow.

This Makes Me Happy

I'm doing my essay, and I decide to check my away message. 10 messages from Victoria o_O? What eeeez eeeet?

orphanescapie3: hey
Auto response from Mi Xao ngon: awkrjyawbkrj wrjk
orphanescapie3: i didnt get to tell you my dream today
orphanescapie3: me you n lisa were all at some park
orphanescapie3: and there was this fence
orphanescapie3: and behind it were a bunch of penguins
orphanescapie3: and i was wondering why there was no water
orphanescapie3: and we were like omg why arent we on the other side of the fence playing with them?
orphanescapie3: so we walked around the whoel park to get to them
orphanescapie3: and we shook their hands
orphanescapie3: it was the cutest dream ive ever had

I laughed when I read that. That is insanely cute. I'd be so happy if we got to do that. I love Victoria. She's had the best dream with me in it so far. Tracy's dream of me a year or so ago was horrible. Everyone died cuz of me; cuz I didn't love Eminem back. >____>

New Things

Full House OST - I Think I (Guitar Instrumental)

So, I decided to put my Yahoo! account to use and put up some photo albums. It's nothing in comparison to Victoria's, and never will be anything to compare with since I have such a crappy camera, but I have found a use for it: throwing it. I've decided to give Camera Tossing a try. Here's what came out on my first attempt:

Interesting stuff. My dad was watching me the first time, though I told him not to, then he came out and told me that I'm crazy, which I told him that he would think. I guess I shouldn't have said anything, then he would've left me alone, but he kept on trying to make me come inside. He even threatened me and said something like, "I don't like it when you do crazy stuff" as if I were about to go out and sell some weed. Jeez. It's freaking.. stupid. It's kinda crazy, I guess, but look at my camera. It's worth throwing, dammit. And the outcome is nice. =D Yay~! By the way, these are my Christmas lights, in case you didn't realize. COMMENTS?!!?!?!

We've Agreed To The Stupidest Idea Ever

Mates of State - Goods

Yah, you know how I said that Benihana is the worst idea ever and that if we wanted Japanese food, we could go somewhere authentic? Yah.. so we've decided to go to Benihana. I had nothing to do with this decision, really. I'm not eating dinner because money is a killer, and it kills me oh-so-good. Some people just decided that Benihana would be a good idea since it would be with the class, but man, Benihana still sucks. Oh well, I don't care since I won't be eating and I'll be eating a packed meal in the car on the way back. Cheap? Very. =]

I always end up sleeping late. I don't know how, but I need to find out and fix it. (Yah, I know blogging doesn't help >_>)

So, still on the topic of JLPT and SF, Robert says that he and his posse (Sean, Tim, and Lawrence) want to come along to karaoke. Note: The other half of our group bailed cuz they suck. Wow, they really suck a lot. I want more people to go for fun, so I don't mind that, but at the same time, would I go all out crazy with them there? I don't talk to any of them except Robert, and even that's a slim amount. I would like to think I'd be myself, but I don't know. I'm the type that gets shy really easily, yet comfortable easily with close(r) friends. Bit of a conundrum. I guess I'm just going to ask the karaoke-goers and see how it weighs out. If you're going and are interested in karaoke, IM me or something. Then I'll tell you yes or no. Haha. Sad, but yes, I don't exactly talk to everyone in my Japanese class. Still, not like anyone reads this. (COMMENT, DAMN YOU! No love for me. =[) Well, even if it's just us 5 girls (we need to pick up some guys at Eastridge or something.. Dx That's horrific.), we'll have mad fun (But really, we need guys. It's a karaoke box.. this calls for some debauchery ;] though I wouldn't partake in any.. Wow, I really suck too.).

Back to stupid Japanese hw. Wth is Yamanakako?! The inside child (wrong kanji, I know) of the mountain?!

I hate the X-chromosome. Burn!

I'm Tempted, Yes

I hate Eastridge.

I won't do it. ><

Sou Itta, Kedo..

30 Seconds To Mars - Attack

Happy Thanksgiving, guys. I'm pretty sick of food right now. Dx After our Thanksgiving meal, I was full, but my parents made me eat more, so I was close to throwing up.

Speaking of my Thanksgiving meal, I woke up at noon today and realized our meal was supposed to be at noon, so I went downstairs to see that most everything was ready. I thought that we needed a better side dish though (our macaroni and cheese was the instant kind >_> I guess that's what I get for not helping out). Plus, we only had 2 bottles of cider! NOT ENOUGH! So John and I rushed to Safeway, and we got biscuits (bake yourself), 2 more bottles of cider, and macaroni salad from the deli corner. [WARNING! RANT!] Ohhhh man! If it weren't for John, I would've totally snapped at some little Asian woman. Before that, I was in line, and some chick was talking to her mom in Vietnamese of having to get a pound of something behind me. I didn't notice till she was ordering that she miraculously got from behind me to in front of me. I wasn't sure if she was behind me in line or not, so I didn't say anything. There was a lady next to me in line (they formed a horizontal line) and she was standing next to that girl, so I assumed she was with her. Note: this lady asked John and I while we were in line if there's a line or if we have to get a number ticket. We said it was a line. When the girl left with her pound of something, the lady moved to the right... a little. I thought she was getting out, then she ordered cole slaw. I was like, WTF?! GET THE FUCK OUT! I was about to say something, but John told me to let it go cuz it's Thanksgiving. I HAVE TO GET HOME AND EAT TOO, BITCH! Aghhhhh. I was going to say something, but John kept telling me not to and brought up how he got in trouble for speaking up to a cutter at Disneyland by my parents. I said, "Our parents aren't here!" But, he just wouldn't let me. Argh. I was really mad cuz that was the 2nd person to cut, and she ASKED US IF THERE WAS A LINE! ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?! I wanted to just smash the bottle of cider over her head. Eeee~! I just let it go, but I was pretty pissed. When we were in the next line to pay for our stuff, she was holding up the line cuz she was asking for extra stuff when she was supposed to order everything in the other line, and she pissed the cashier off too. -__- When she got out of line, I was standing in her way, but I finally let her out. I was thinking of saying something then, but since it was close to just getting out of that place, I didn't do anything. If that was the lunch line at school, I would've said something. -___-;; I wish I said something now, but man.. I don't have the guts to do something about everything. Like last week, there were so many people cutting in line at the lunch line. I've said something before, but that time, I just didn't. I was pissed then, too, that I didn't say anything. Sure, they were huge football guys and Mexican chicks with bad makeup, but that wasn't why. I've said something to Mexican guys and Asian chicks with no eyebrows who could've totally kicked my ass with their eyebrow pencils, but why couldn't I say anything now? >=[ Argh. [/RANT!] Anyway, other than that, my Thanksgiving was okay. We had it with Duy and his mom. Interesting, yet kinda odd. My mom gets along with people way too easily. I don't know how she does it. After eating, I just slept till we had to go to church, though I was still tired cuz I had trouble getting to sleep. Now, I'm just blogging. Pretty boring..

I also had a Thanksgiving meal yesterday with Tracy, Kris, Chris, Victoria, Cindy, and Thanh. We didn't cook much, but the things we did.. aiyah. Haha. Cindy and I totally ruined the crescents =D. They looked like little puffs after we baked them. Haha. I totally blamed Cindy and ran out of the kitchen though. Aw. Victoria made green bean casserole, but I only took one bite, and I couldn't eat it. Not that it wasn't good, I'm sure it was... I just couldn't stand the onion. SO MUCH! ONION BOMB! BAKUHATSU! After, we just stayed in my room and everyone slept except for Victoria, Kris, Chris, and me. We watched the last episode of Sad Sonata, and Victoria hated the ending. =] Later, Lisa came and stayed for a bit. After, Duy came and crashed on my couch.

Black Friday's tomorrow. I don't know if I'm going shopping or anything. I know my mom will want to, but man.. it's so early. x___x I don't like shopping either. I like getting stuff, but walking around malls and having to search everywhere... agh. I hate the mall.

I don't know if much has been going on lately. School is still boring. Photo is getting mucho boring. Japanese has been mucho boring. Blah.

Oh. I don't think I blogged about this yet, but for JLPT, Santa Monica was cancelled and it's San Francisco now. Still a bummer, but being the MASTER PLANNER that I am, we have awesome plans. Dim Sum > JLPT > Ghiradelli Square & Lunch > Karaoke (box)! > Dinner. Hah, Mr. Hall planned to go to Benihana. Stupidest idea ever. It's expensive and not that great. Plus, if we want Japanese food, why the hell would we go to franchisey Benihana when we can go to something else in Japantown? Idiot. Well, if people like Benihana, I guess they can do that, but that doesn't go with me. Yah, I kinda wanted to go cuz even if we spent the day together as a class, we'd just separate into groups with our friends, but the dinner would be as a whole class. But it doesn't seem like a good idea anymore, so we quit that. I really wanna go to Santa Monica still, but though I'd rather not believe it, like Tracy said, it wouldn't be as good as the first time. =/

KNOCK KNOCK! I wanna come in and make you love me.

AGAIN?!

Stars - One More Night

So, I think I'm getting sick again. For the third time. -____________- DAMN YOU, IMMUNE SYSTEM, AND YOUR NOT BEING IMMUNE! FUCKING OXYMORON! Gar. I only have a runny nose, but that leads to coughing. x_x Stars & Death Cab for Cutie tomorrow! Harry Potter on Thursday at midnight! :D Too bad Cindy's not coming with us to Harry Potter cuz she got tickets somewhere else. =/ But yes! I expect it to be a blazin' week. I want it to be a good week.

That sucked. It's like I'm pregnant. Dx

I don't know what else to blog about, but here's another iTunes visual!This one is like the one from last time, but different colors.I think this one's pretty cool. Reminds me of a cup of water with ripples, which makes me think of Jurassic Park.. >_>

Tchah!

That's HOT!

Tilly and the Wall - Fell Down the Stairs

AGH! STUMMY ACHE! Why am I so paranoid? x__x

I just made a new buddy icon..I like the reflection of the clouds in my lenses, but Cindy is just too hot. That pose on anyone else, I'd probably throw up, but this is hilarious.
Bwahhahaha. I hope this works. It's supposed to move..
EDIT: I guess it doesn't work. The other one works, but it's so huge for some reason. Click on it to see the right picture.

I think I'm gonna throw up. Dx Stupid banh cuon.

Midnight Flash!

Murs - You And I

I'm about to sleep, but I kinda wanted to just blog for a second or so.

I haven't been listening to anything but Indie pretty much lately, but I listened to a lot of Hip Hop today. Good stuff, yet bad stuff. I was listening to Kanye West feat. Talib Kweli and Common - Get Em High, which I really like, but I hate Common so much in there. "Real rappers is hard to find like a remote... control rap is not a used soup it still got love".. Yah, he's just horrible in there. I don't really like him at all, but that's probably the worst I've heard from him. I was listening to lyrics more today. I just noticed today that in Mya - Late, she's talking about how she has yet to get her period and that the guy needs to take responsibility cuz she can tell by her body and that her PMSing (the kind during pregnancy) that she's pregnant. It goes on about how she is usually "on time" with her period. Interesting.

Murs is awesome. :D

I'm gonna get back into knitting.

I'm so obsessed with iTunes' visual effects that I take screen shots. ^^;Purty, neh?

Photo is getting pretty boring, mang!

I'm stupid. Not ha-ha stupid (but I can be that too), but actually stupid.

FEAR! ><

Metric - Handshakes

I love the guitar in here, especially when she goes, "Whoooo" a lot. I love that part altogether.

I just felt like posting something..

Halloween... I think I would've rather stayed home, but it wasn't horrible.

iTunes' visual effects is blazin'. I can watch it for a very long time.

I still have lipstick on my cheeks from Victoria trying to make it look like blush.

My place essay seems odd. It doesn't seem odd till the end though. The LAST sentence. *shrug*

Tchah. I'm scared. You don't even know. I have no idea either.

I'm so full from Popeye's, which wasn't worth it. =[

I miss TC Tea. Fucking Wuji.

I want to paint my room a different color and move my bed. Not really.

What happened to my haircut? I was supposed to cut it. I feel like changing it up. Suggestions? (No bangs. Some of you might know why..)

I love the Date Rape song so much, but I'd hate to get raped to it. I'd hate to get raped, period.

Someone left their red pen and pencil on my desk, but I'm keeping it.

I feel like vacuuming.

I wanna sleep in my backyard with my boyfriend. Yeah, I do need to get one first. Damn. Too cold anyway, and much too lazy to get a boyfriend.

I really need to upload that clip of us (rather, you guys) going crazy. Cindy *hart (Stupid Blogger cutting off my hearts)* You're so hot.. Jeez.

I had a whole lot more, but it got deleted after the heart attempt.

Random From Scanning

Metric - Combat Baby

I was just looking at my My Pictures and I have a random folder. I have a folder for screen caps, but I forgot what was in it. I find them pretty funny. (click to enlarge)

Note that this person's username is "Platinum"..

EMO-TASTIC, GUYEEEZ! How is this "emo-tastic" anyway? Cuz she's white? And this is a black and white picture? .. And she's white? Man, she sucks.

Ah.. I don't remember what forums these are, but yes, people are funny.

Yay! We're He-- WHAT?!?!

Fall Out Boy - Grand Theft Autumn

AFTER SCHOOL, WE WERE HEADED FOR TC TEA! YAY! I WAS SO HAPPY! We got lost on the way there, but we managed. We parked the car right in front and everything! :D! YAY! WE'RE HE-- WHAT?! WHERE'S TC TEA?!?!?!?! That's right kids, TC Tea is gone. It's now Wuji's, a breakfast and lunch place that doesn't look too appealling at all. No interesting vegetarian food, no pearl drinks to die for, no drawings of Pokemon on the walls, NOTHING! The walls were repainted a harsh pink, everything was just... aiyah. Cindy had the guts to ask what happened and the lady who seemed to be the owner said that they retired. I'm not sure if they retired or if it was because they never had that much hustle and bustle, but I just felt so disappointed. If they did retire, it makes sense since they were a family business, I guess, but ah! I'M SO DISAPPOINTED! We searched for some place in the area to get pearl drinks or food, but the local Q-Cup was replaced by a Quizno's and there was no restaurant that seemed good. We ended up eating pho.. I was really disappointed and only ate to do something. I didn't want pho, our waiter was annoyingly persistent on us ordering the most expensive pho they had, they were talking crap about us in Vietnamese though some of us could clearly understand, etc. Bad, bad day. That pho place just really messed us up after finding Wuji's. Gah.. things got better on the way home, but it was a bad day, one of the worst I've had in a while. We were just disappointed, wandering in and out of stores, and we were not in the mood for anything we saw. Ahh. I miss TC TEA so much. I wish I went there more often! We got some Tapioca Express, but it just wasn't the same. After, Cindy, Lisa, Tracy, and I took our JLPT practice test to add on to our great day. Gah.

TC TEA, you were the last good thing about this part of town! =[

The Pictures Are All I Can Feel

Stars - Heart

Oh -- how I love Stars! :D

Anyway, I was SO close to ditching 7th, my photo class. We've been doing NOTHING in there, so I thought, Screw that shit. I wanna hang! =] Victoria, being the great person she is, dragged me to class even though she doesn't have that class. When I came in, Mr. K started passing out sheets of paper. PHOTO TAKING PASSES! SCORE! Yes! We finally got to take pictures today! I was so excited (=/ too bad that's not what I'm going to do with my life..). Thanh and I loaded our film, then we were off! We were assigned to take 5 pictures of growth/ nature and 5 pictures of buildings. I had to retake some shots because I forgot to take 2 dead shots to get rid of the fogged film, but this is what i took:

Nature - field, grass with water, trees, more trees, and a shadows of trees (ran out of ideas..)
Buildings - portables, library, ceiling, roof, science building

I had more exposures, so I also took pictures of - rail, inside of.. some jutting out building.., random building, another random building, lockers, bench, and I think that was it.

I didn't want to waste my film, especially if we got extras! =D! I was really happy. I hope I did it right and I hope they come out right!! When I develop them, I'll probably upload them here.

Got an essay to do and other homework. T___T I HATE IT!

Another Random Post From Being So Bored

Metric - Dead Disco

Ah.. after this weekend, we find out whether or not we actually are going to Santa Monica. Most people who signed up for the JLPT are going to the newly opened test site (open for at least a year though): San Francisco. I understand that there's some people who simply can't afford it, but for example, Tim Terrell (sp?) and Lawrence Cheung aren't going because Tim isn't going and the Lawrence will only go if the Tim does. -___- After school on Friday, we saw Tim walking home and yelled at him from the car to go. He said he'll change it, but who knows. Man.. SAN FRANCISCO IS NO SANTA MONICA! Hall says that it could be the start of a new tradition and blah blah blah, but really, who HASN'T been to SF already? Sure.. it's kinda interesting, but it's no Santa Monica, dammit. We have 20 something people or maybe 30 by now (dunno till Monday), but 30 is minumum. I asked about 29 and Hall said he'd let it slide, but 28 wouldn't work. >< If we get changed to SF, I'm just going to drive to Santa Monica myself illegally and kidnap Lisa, Tracy, Cindy, and Victoria. I'd make it work. YOU KNOW MY PLANNING SKILLS! Yah.. I really wanna go. If we get changed, I'm gonna cry. HOLY SHIT! I JUST REALIZED THAT IF WE HAVE TO GO TO SF, HALL WOULD CHANGE MY SIGN UP TOO! AND TRACY, LISA, AND CINDY! OH NO! O__O!!!!

URESHII YO~!

Stars - Calendar Girl

JAPANESE LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST! I LOVE IT! "Wha? You're excited about a test?! FREAK!" must be what you're thinking of, but no, that's not it. I don't love the test itself really, but the trip to Santa Monica is GREAT! Just looking at the site's FAQ makes me happy! I found my album from last year online. It's blazin'. OH MAN! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! SO MUCH I'M BLOGGING RATHER THAN STUDYING FOR MY TEST AND QUIZZES TOMORROW! I can't wait till we go. It was so fun. I'M SO HAPPY!!

Alive!

Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
(Their album, Funeral, is pretty old, but it only got popular recently. I only heard it this year too.)

Yes! I'm alive and... kinda well. For those of you who didn't know, I was sick since Friday and still have a cough. I was out of school for two days, but I think I totally pwned that Calculus test other than that one problem. So.. minor pwnage, neh? =D I'M GETTING THAT B-, DAMMIT! Unless Guttal decides to grace us with her Ph D math skills. =[ Yeah.. MAJOR UPDATE SHIMASU! I feel good (just got home from hanging out =] ).

Friday... first, we went to Taco Bell! It was Cindy, Lisa, Dan, Victoria, Chris, Tracy, and I. After, Cindy and Lisa left while the rest of us went to Chris'. I forgot what we did there, but I think Dan left at that point. The four of us went to that Shiek temple on the hill to look at the clouds cuz it was really cloudy and gray that day. (I look really short cuz I was trying to stick my ass out. har har.. but I am short =/ ) After that, we went to Marble Slab and got ice cream. Numm~ pop rocks, nuts, almonds (which are also nuts, but Chris chose to put them in), and raspberries in a banana split with mocha, mint chocolate, and vanilla ice cream. It was good, and the pop rocks surprised me cuz they were good too. OH! I THINK IT WAS AT MARBLE SLAB!:

Chris: Fatty says what?
Me: *full mouth* hmm? (didn't understand)
Chris: What? Aw shit!

Haha. Hilarious. After, we went to Albertson's for Jell-O (we're pigs T-T). We made Chris get it, but he kept lagging. He was sitting on the hood pretending to strip >_<, and when he had his collar hanging on his glasses, a lady came by and he got all shocked and ran off. That was one of the hardest laughs I can recall ever having. While we waited for our dessert's dessert, we drove around the parking lot to confuse Chris when he came back. Victoria didn't have her headlights on, so some nice guy called out to us and said, "Your lights." Cuz he was so nice, we decided to .. go into Alberson's ourselves to look at him. Haha. He wasn't hot, but Tracy didn't see him, and she keeps saying she'll marry everyone. Later, we ate our Jell-O spoonless. I tried sucking it out and using my tongue, but it wouldn't work. Everyone else got it but me =[ . I know all of them have kissed people and I haven't, but jeez. We went to the basketball courts at Creek and laid on the bleachers. The moon was out, but floating through the clouds. =] We had a really interesting conversation on philosophy and all that stuff. It was really windy and cold and we stayed out there till about 10.. and so I got sick! =[

Saturday... oh! TET TRUNG THU! We went to the Moon Festival. It took a while, but we got there. We went to one downtown. It was okay.. they needed better booths. We tried to enter in a lantern contest, but the lady said there was only 15 minutes left, so we rushed. LIES! WE SO HAD MORE THAN 15 MINUTES =[! Yah, we lost. Oh well. After, we ate at Johnny Rockets and hung out downtown. Later,.. I think we went to get pie. We ate it in Cindy's car and just hung out. Blazin' stuff. Tuesday and Wednesday, I stayed home. Good times. =D Yesterday, I came back to school. Not fun. After school, I went to Victoria's for homecoming character tryouts. The theme is Disney. Seniors - Aladdin (I really like Aladdin), we Juniors - Snow White, Sophomores - Mulan, Freshmen - Cinderella. I tried out for a lot of parts cuz I couldn't decide which I wanted to be. I ended up being Happy. =] I'm choreographing the dwarves dance, so I thought being a dwarf would be better, and I did end up being one.

Today, I thought I'd totally fail the test in Calc like I did the last 2 (before I took the test, I had an overall 72.8% C). I want that B-! Then anything else I can get after that! In APUS, we had a code red drill. We would've died. Whenever we turned off the lights, some stupid girls would scream. They really were screaming, but... why o_O? It's not even freaky. Ah well. If it were a real one, maybe I'd understand, but it was a drill that Mr. G wanted to do, not the school one. Plus, he told us a day in advance or something. *shrug* In Photo, ... I don't even wanna type it all up, but to sum it up: I accidentally messed up someone's photo paper cuz someone left something from the period before. If they just said something, I would've given them photo paper even though it was an accident cuz it's about 40 cents a sheet. Whatever. Instead, bitch decides to run around the darkroom yelling and whining about her photo paper getting fogged and how she's SO PISSED. Oh no. Her 40 cents. What EVER will she do?! People were asking her who fogged it, and I was just minding my own business, but I assume she pointed at me. I didn't look cuz I don't give a shit. If it's over something like that, come up to me and tell me. This girl.. no one likes her and she craves attention, so she had to get the approval of everyone who thought she was a victim or something before talking to me. Finally, she comes up to me, not even explaining the situation cuz I didn't know, and just asks, "So are you going to give me photo paper?" I asked her for what and she gives me all this 'tude. Biiiiiiiiiitch. Is Michelle gonna have to choke a bitch?! Eh. Not like I could fit my hands around her quintuple chins. So she made a big deal over nothing, ran around whining, and finally asked me. I think that before she even asked me, she messed around with my enlarger, so I kept having to redo what I was working on, wasting even more photo paper in this stupidass, trivial happening. FUCK! I WANNA KILL HER! Yah.. that made me mad cuz people thought I was a total bitch cuz of her. Whatever, but jeez, ALL THAT OVER 40 CENTS WORTH OF PAPER! When I got out of class, oooooooooo!!!! FEAR ME! GAH! I JUST DIDN'T WANNA MAKE IT WORSE, BUT I COULD'VE TOLD HER HOW FUCKING STUPID SHE WAS! She's probably the stupidest person I've ever met, especially for failing Geometry 3 times and still taking it her Senior year. AHHHH! Yah.. let's move on to better things before I develop a new scar.

SO! Chris had his 2nd birthday party today at his house. I got to go to this one even though I still have a cough =]. It was fun. One thing that stands out in my head, especially cuz Victoria just sent me pictures, is when we wore Chris' clothes. Oh god. My outfit was worst. All baby blue sweat set. We had to take a couple pictures to get this right cuz we kept laughing. Jeez. I look like an idiot. AND IT WAS SO HOT IN THOSE! (click to enlarge)
Victoria always has her camera ready. Blazin'. At least my day ended well.

I love comments, except for the spam ones.

Nothing At All

Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark
(I know everyone likes this song, but I guess I'm just a sucker for acoustic)

I have pretty much nothing to do. Of course, I could do my last homework then get ahead on other things, but it's just a Thursday. I thought I had a lot of homework, but I realized our vocabulary is due next week, so I could've went to the free Acceptance concert with Kim and Tracy would've came. =/ Curses. Oh well. Too late for that, I guess. The new OC season premieres today, but I don't watch the OC. *shrug* Just never did. Today is going to be a very boring day..

School was boring, as always. There were some interesting things though:
-English isn't about English, I think. It's more like a philosophy class. Blah.
-In Japanese, Hall was saying something about something being easy. I don't remember, but he said it was as easy as addition in elementary and wrote this on the board: |+|=2. Being the stupidass I am, I was thinking, That's not elementary school level! Wtf?! Absolute Value?! .. Then I find out it's 1+1=2 and it's like, how the fuck do you mess that up? Yah, people laughed at me, but jeez, I seriously thought it meant "absolute value of T equals 2." -___-;
-We made our first photogram in Photo. I don't like mine cuz I put too much on there. I didn't know what to do and I didn't bring anything in, so I practically threw it on there.There's my glasses, a penny, a nickel, a pencil, my iPod earbud, and a ruler. If I took out 2-3 things, it might've been better, but it just has too much. Eh, making it was interesting though. I just hate how crowded it is in the darkroom. People just keep the tongs too, and it's like, Dude, you can get it back later. I need it now, dammit. Also, how everyone just crowds around the wet area... step back and just wait! You have to wait for a couple minutes anyway! Blaaah. Well, that was interesting.

I have nothing to do. Jeez.

I'm starting to suck at Japanese.

Heart Ache

Tilly and the Wall - Bessa

School. No fun. Mr. G's cool, but most of the time, he's talking about other kinda irrelevant things. Guttal is crazy. I never know exactly what we're doing. We're doing warm-ups, suddenly we're on notes, then we're on homework or something. Ack. I just got frustrated today cuz I got 5/7 on our warm-up/ quiz thing from yesterday. I thought I got a 6, but for the problem asking for intercepts, I did put the one y-intercept, but I didn't say there was no x-intercept. If the problem specifically says to "List the intercepts", I could easily argue that it said nothing about listing the non-existant intercepts. So I got a C on that. Grrr. My English teacher, Voss, is.. interesting. I just like the class cuz I just talk in there. Even when I'm not talking, it's not boring, but I never seem to have homework in that class. I know there's stuff we should be doing outsid of class like keeping a notebook about random things, but Iono, I just never think of it. Then, I have Cervantes. He's nice and all, but he jsut keeps talking about irrelevant crap 90% of the time. Although he does find a way to link it together, he just talks too much. He wanted us to have open minds, so he gave us a billion examples of what pre-destination means, although everyone knew what it was already. Even if someone needed and example, one is enough, but he insists on talking and talking. I hate asking him questions cuz I just ask him something simple, and he talks forever about nothing to me -_-. He's.. cool, even if he does have those gay twitches (not gay in a derogatory way, but he does that.. gay twitch that makes me laugh in a totally positive way x_x). And yes, I do know he's gay, but I find it weird cuz why do gay people have to act... gay? But that's going off topic. Japanese... man! That used to be a fun class, but now, he just talks sooo much. I know it's cuz he wants us to get better at listening to the language, but when he repeats everything over and over, I get so bored. I know it's in case we don't understand, but I just sit there in the back, and this is the 2nd to last period of the day for me, so I'm getting tired of just listening and not doing anything. Last year, we got to talk a lot, but we learned effectively. Blah. It's just so boring this year. We finally got to play Kanji Swat today though. I pwned the other person.. for once. -__-; Last, and probably least, Mr. K. He's cool and all, no doubt about that, but it's so boring. We just sit there and.. pretty much do nothing or wait for him to regain his memory. >< That's pretty much how my school day goes every day. If not for us going out during the school days, I'd probably be dead to the world by now. Thank God we have Labor Day Weekend. What's awesome is that new policy: For every Monday off, the Friday previous will be a mini day. So we have a mini day this Friday. =D Good stuff.

My heart hurts a lot lately. No, not the corny emotional way, but seriously, it hurts. It gets tight and.. Iono how to explain it, but it hurts. I had this before, but now, it's recurring pretty often. It's not heartburn or anything either. I'm just walking along, then ow. =/ I think I should get it checked, but I never really think to do it. I know I'm being stupid, but I don't think this is normal. What if it's some sort of disease or something? That'd be pretty... strange. x_X Hrm.. Vanessa had some heart thing before, maybe I should ask her what her symptoms were and see if it's the same.

It's still hot these days.. which makes me wanna go beaching! T___T

Hey Diddle Diddle

Fall Out Boy - Dance, Dance
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me.

Iono what it was today.. maybe it was allergies or something, but MAN! It seemed like i was sneezing every 30 seconds (I was in Guttal though), and my eyelids seemed to be getting swollen or something. GAH! It was horrible. When I go drive tonight, I'm going to fricken Target to get Kleenex!

Other seemingly weird events today: I wore a skirt. I didn't think it was THAT weird, but apparently it is. "OH MY! A SKIRT!" It's another of those constant cycle things. I don't really like wearing skirts much, so I don't wear them often, and therefore, it's some sort of miracle when I do. One reason I don't like wearing skirts is how people always make a big deal of it. I don't really mind when people say it, but really.. what's the big deal o_O? So because of that.. (mom just brought in a bowl of pho. HART! <3)

FSCKEN ERUYAOKN! Just cuz of that heart up there, blogger took out a whole chunk out of my post, so I'm too irritated now to put it back in. It was pretty much the same thing as what's in my profile though.. so:

when my dad came home and saw me in a skirt coming home from school, he was really happy, like.. REALLY happy. he kissed me on the forehead and told me to wear more skirts. i just said, "uh.. Whatever." later, i came downstairs and my mom came home from work, then my dad told me he told my mom to buy me more skirts. he said to "get the good ones, even if they're expensive." he said he'd just pay for it. now, i know i barely wear skirts, but wth. i don't even know what to think of this o_O.

is it really that crazy for me to have a skirt on?

And so, I think I like American Eagle. (I like putting something random at the end, if you haven't noticed)

Moby Dick, the American Classic

I was Sparknoting Moby Dick when odd lines kept popping up:

"Ishmael admits that he is 'manhandling' the whale in his description, but he says that he is doing the best that he knows how."
..Which is manhandling.

"Ishmael describes the other parts of the whale, including the penis, euphemistically named the 'cassock.' He blasphemously likens the whale's organ to the dress of clergymen because it has some pagan mysticism attached to it."
How is there a religious mysticism.. to a FUCKING PENIS?!

"Ishmael is carried away with enthusiasm for the 'sweet and unctuous' sperm. He squeezes all morning long, sentimentally describing his physical contact with the other sailors, whose hands he unintentionally gropes in the vat of sperm."
.. Wtf! what kinda guy gets enthusiastic about sperm?!


This makes me think of South Park when Mr. Garrison was writing a "romance novel," but it actually was a porno. The whole storyline was just about penises, even a "redwood forest of penises." O__X Herman Melville.. I wouldn't be surprised if he was gay. -___-;

Productive

Taking Back Sunday - Number Five With a Bullet

I did some stuff today. Nothing fun, but I got stuff done. Yay..

First, after a crappy delay, I went to the Martin Luther King Library. I was about an hour late to meet up with Lisa, Tracy, Chis, and Dan but I still got some APUS and APCalc summer hw done. Later, we went to La Victoria (I'm getting kinda tired of it though..). I got Super Nachos with steak, but I couldn't finish it. After, we got picked up and Tracy dropped us all off at our homes cuz she needed to go eat with her family. When we all got home, Tracy told me they lied to her and they didn't have to do anything. Boo. We wanted to hang out and stuff, but since we already all got home and got settled.. we were too lazy. -__- Later, John took me out to drive for an hour. We worked on my 3-point turns, which are still horrible, and practiced just a little on parallel parking. I got dizzy after from all the reverse and forward then back and forth again. I didn't really do anything after, but my mom bugged me a bit about letting her watch K-drama.. okay, at first, I was okay with her watching cuz you know, she comes home from work, wants to just watch, and I'd turn it on for her. Now though, she's at a point of obsession. I must admit, nothing surprises me anymore cuz the plot twists are pretty much all the same, so when she wants to watch for hours and hours at night every day until it's what.. 3 AM? What's the point? If it weren't for my not having any new episodes for the drama she's currently watching, she'd be watching right now and I'd be sitting in her room, waiting for her to get off in a couple hours so I can in my room. She even gets mad when I don't download. She says things like, "Why don't you download for me, huh? You never download it." Jeez. I remember when I was at Taco Bell with Antoine about 1 in the morning that she told me to come home... not because it was late, but because she wanted me to turn on K-drama. GAH! I know, I know, it's not that big of a deal. I don't think so either, but jeez. She's really obsessed. She's on the 5th episode while I'm on the 9th.. of a 20 episode drama she already finished in a week's time (last week)! I think that's enough to say she's obsessed. -__-;

My goal of going to the beach this summer will never be reached. Now that it's cold, I don't even wanna go that much, but I still kinda wanna go. There's no way to get there though.. and, as much as I don't want to admit it, summer's ending. I guess I'm just running out of time and it's not great beach weather, so I gave up. =[ Sad, I know. I wanted to go to this beach Antoine told me about. It looks really nice. T___T I'm really disappointed.

I should read Sophie's World, but it's so boring. Gah! People who took the class already said it was the interesting book out of the three, but the only good book is East of Eden. Crazy people.

Gyar.

Bored

(Click to enlarge)

I was bored, so I kinda played around with a picture I took. For all you people who know how to use Photoshop, you should know that this is simple to do, but my Photoshop knowledge is unfortunately limited. Well, it's nothing. Just something out of boredom. The title was to try and cover that stupid chair, and due to lack of a better title in mind. It's almost 5. What can you do? (It seems to be a little pixely... oh well.)

A Change for a Change?

Tilly and the Wall - I Can't Believe You

I got my new glasses. I actually like them now, but I still think I look a little weird. I guess it's cuz it's from my point of view or something, but Iono, I'm just not used to it.

Tongue-Tied

Bloc Party - This Modern Love

Yesterday, Tracy, Lisa, Victoria, and I went downtown, but we once again came when it was closed. Actually, we had three minutes.. but that's not so much better. T__T We watched "Must Love Dogs" at Camera 12, but we were a little late. It was okay. I didn't expect much, cuz I just wanted to see it for John Cusack pretty much. He looked kinda tubby in there though. *Shrug* We were pretty much the only ones in the theatre except for maybe one person. It's cool if Camera 12 gets customers and all... but MAN! I'm still grr about how they're mostly playing Hollywood movies. Hopefully they get more customers who watch independent movies so they have more. I wanna watch "Murderball", dammit! It always takes them forever to get out the good ones (i.e, "Saving Face" and "Crash"). I can't believe they played "Sharkboy & Lavagirl" er whatever over those. Insane. Anyway, after the movie, we went around, got lost, and ate at The Old Spaghetti Factory. I've never been there... but I remember a couple years back, I was supposed to go with someone, but it never happened... =T Anyway, after that, we were walking around and I used that public toilet for a quarter. It was okay.. I didn't make contact with anything in there, but the cool thing was the faucet. I was reading the instructions and stuff, but I didn't really get it. It went on and water came out, but it was soapy, then it changed into just plain water, then the dryer came on (and if you're not done washing everything off, the water's still on for a bit =D). I thought that was pretty cool. (AHH! THERE'S A SPIDER IN MY ROOM!..) After that, we were at the park and we were going to go somewhere else, then there was a bum following us, talking to us. None of us said anything, but we turned and tried to cross the street. While we were waiting for the walk sign (There was a cop. Damn..), the guy came over again and looked us all over. Eegad. He walked over to me and started talking. He asks,..

"You guys aren't from here, right? Are there lights and things from where you're from?"
(pause.. I'm tempted to talk to my friends in Vietnamese to pretend I don't speak English, but he probably heard us speaking English when he was first following us.)
I say, "Yeah, I guess."
"Are you Japanese?"
"No, actually, I'm Vietnamese."
"Oh. I don't know what it is, but Asian women drive me crazy.."
(Light turns green.. Everyone walks away really quickly and I don't notice, then I power walk to catch up cuz I don't wanna be alone with the crazy guy.)

He said other stuff I can't really remember like how Asian women are really pretty or we were pretty.. Iono. The weird thing for me is, I didn't really care about talking to him (although that part about Asian women driving him crazy was pretty creepy), but what really got me.. irritated was how he thought we weren't from around there. Dude.. none of us even looked close to being fobs or something. I guess I just found him really ignorant and stupid for asking if places like "where we come from" actually have lights. Jeez. It's as if he thinks we come from Chinky Cave and we're Chinky Cavewomen who have come bearing sex. To add on, he was wearing a hat with stars and stripes. Freaking cracker. Racist, you say? Yes.. yes I am, dammit, but at least I'm not racist AND entirely ignorant. After that incident, everyone said they wouldn't have talked to him if he talked to them. I don't mind talking to people, but it probably isn't smart, huh? Well, the way I see it is, if I didn't talk to him, he could've been one of those guys who get mad when you ignore them and do something crazy. Plus, I felt kinda bad for the guy cuz no one really talks to bums. However, it was disgusting and annoying. We're not even legal. x____x Disgusting, really disgusting.

I don't know what it is. I always feel like I'm rambling now. I guess I'm just not a good talker. *Shrug* Whenever I feel like going to someone with problems I can no longer hold in, I tend to talk about it a little, then try to change the subject. I'll talk about it a little, change the subject, talk about it a bit again, then try to talk about something. Even on the phone.. I was never a phone person, but sometimes, I'll have a really good conversation, then other days, I have nothing to talk about and it's really spastic. I think the most articulate state I have is when I'm half-asleep, talking to someone, or maybe it's just cuz I love doing that. Talking to someone half-asleep and being half-asleep gives me a relaxed,.. honest feeling.

ZOOM! meemmolrliieks.

No Sense of Direction

Weezer - I Do

Yesterday was interesting. Sarah and I really don't like the YMCA's pool. When you open the door, all this hot, heavy air hits you, and the water isn't that refreshing. The night before, I got a call and was told that we were going to swim at Chris N.'s pool. After some delay, Cindy gave Tracy, Sarah, and I a ride. Cindy drives well, but she really doesn't know where she's going. When you go to someone's house, you know how to get out by going the opposite way, right? Cindy had no idea and had to ask every time where to turn which way. I found that pretty funny. We swam and did some stuff. When we finally decided to get out, we changed in Chris' place. It got pretty messy, but we cleaned it up a bit. Later, we went to drop off Sarah, and we went to La Victoria. We walked around downtown, then we went to drop off Thanh. We went around to random places and drove around cuz we had nowhere to go. We went down this straightwaway that people died at when they tried to race, and Cindy went down a supposedly haunted road. There were these huge dead birds on the side, then this truck was coming at us pretty fast. I don't think it's haunted, but it was freaky.. We finally decided to go to the lake. We hung out, then we had to drop off Chris. We drove up and down the same roads repeatedly cuz we had nowhere to go, but you know.. usually, if the driver doesn't know where to go, they just decide to turn in somewhere, but Cindy doesn't know where she's going, so she never turned unless we told her to. x__x haha. After going around and around, I decided to go home. After they dropped me off, my mom gave me a box of sample glasses to try on and see which one I liked. I couldn't decide cuz I didn't really like any... so I called Cindy, Tracy, Lisa, and Victoria to come over and help. They chose a red pair of emo glasses. I thought it looked okay, but it felt really weird cuz I don't think emo glasses look that good on me. They, my mom, and John said it was good, but I still felt weird about it. I was about to get this ugly pair of glasses cuz it wasn't emo and I thought it fit me a lot more. Anyway, they stayed till they realized it was 12 and left in a hurry. I stayed up a while trying to choose a pair, but I really didn't like any of them. I didn't want to be rude to my mom's customer by having her ask him to give her a 2nd box to try on, so I just decided to get the red, emo ones. This morning, my dad woke me up just to try them on. Even he said they were nice... but I still don't know. Oh well. I can always stick with my current, crooked, broken, too-tight-for-my-head-that-it-gives-me-dents glasses.. >_>

Today, I went to the Y with Sarah. We ran and just did some stuff while waiting for the Pilates class to start. When it started, we did the evil Downward Dog, and that's when I knew it was yoga! Yoga is crazy and we hate it. Within about 10 minutes, I kept trying to whisper to Sarah to see if she wanted to bail. When she finally heard me, we left oh-so-relieved. I asked a worker for the schedule and found out it changes every month. What we were just doing was Yogalates. Gah. There was no Pilates by the time we left. Screw yoga >__> I don't need to be flexible.

That's all I did that's at least somewhat interesting lately.

It's August. No~!

Illusions and Viruses

Park Mook Hwan - "Chun Gook Eh Gi Uk" (Stairway to Heaven)

I think I might actually be going crazy. I think that any moment, there's going to be someone at my doorway or that if I turn around, someone will be there. If that's not crazy, I can't imagine what is.

I wish I could empty out my brain sometimes and start over.. like reformatting or something. Start fresh. Forget everything and everyone. Makes me think of "Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". Sure, there was a lesson at the end, a moral, that it's better to enjoy those memories than lose them, but I really don't believe that. Iono.. I guess I just don't believe that b.s.

I really want a car at times like these, but where would I go?

And so I burst.

Crazy Week

Daphne Loves Derby - Hammers and Hearts (the MV)

Last week was pretty crazy.
On Tuesday, I was supposed to get my permit, but I went to SF with Don, Cristal, and Wilson instead. Don drove. Yes, it's amazing I'm even alive to tell you the tale. So he was swerving into all the lanes, thinking it would save him billions of time, which it didn't. I'll be blunt, he's a horrible driver. Not that he can't drive, but he just has the worst ideas ever. We went around Fisherman's Wharf (got myself a clam chowder in a bread bowl ^-^) and went to Haights St. I didn't get anything, but there were some interesting things. After, we had a lot of bad, bad detours and stops. Gah.

On Wednesday, I was supposed to get my permit, but when I went to the DMV, they said I had the wrong birth certificate. Gah! Lisa even told me about how that happened to her before, and I still got the wrong one. I was going to go back and forth and take it, but I had a dentist appointment, so we didn't know if I'd have time cuz the wait at the DMV could be long. Later, John and I went to the dentist, then they said that our appointment wasn't till the next day. GAH! Waste of a day.
On Thursday, I went to the DMV, still tired although I showered to try and wake myself up. I didn't feel like brushing my hair although I even brought it into the car, so I just tied it up in a bun. After doing some stuff at the DMV, I got into another line that had a sign.. CAMERA. WHAT?! WE TAKE OUR PICTURES WHEN WE TAKE OUR PERMIT?!?! AHHH!! I didn't know what to do. When I was getting my fingerprint, signature, and picture, she told me to step back so she can take the picture. I decided to take out my hair. I took it out, shook it around, blah! She was waiting for it to print, then she started laughing.. loud.., and she said something to her co-worker. I only caught her saying, "only one shot.." Then she handed me my papers, including my picture. It was horrible. I look insane. T___T I don't want to pay to get it retaken either, but DAMMIT! After, I took my permit and passed with 4 errors. Didn't even study. I was scared they'd have the techinical stuff like fines, but they didn't. Thank goodness.

On Friday, I remember being really busy during the day for some odd reason and being ARGH! Later, people came over, we ate and had a BBQ, and we just hung out. We (the people who slept over and I) watched "Crash" on my computer and I teared again. I still love that movie. =] We stayed up till the morning just talking and laughing about nothing. I actually slept for maybe an hour, but it was a kinda half-asleep mode. Later, we slept at.. iono, 9? I did at least, but I woke up and went downstairs. I can't entirely remember why, but it was really hot in my room and it was a lot cooler downstairs. We ate, did a whole bunch of stupid nothing, and the last person finally left at around 8. Partied for over 24 hours. Aiyah.

That was my week. Nothing happened today except a lot of Daphne Loves Derby stuff. That MV makes me kinda love the lead singer, Kenny, and iono why. He's not hot, but something about how he acts or looks in there... x_x *shrug* Stu, the drummer, is pretty good looking, to me, but eh. THEIR ALBUM ON THE STRENGTH OF ALL CONVINCED COMES OUT TOMORROW! ME WANTS! They have all new songs on there except "Middle, Middle"... DAMN! THEY CAME TO SJ! BUT I COULDN'T GO! Actually, I could have, but that would've been sad for me to leave Kris' birthday party, although it wasn't great. >.>

I want to swim.

Planners

m-flo feat. Melody & Ryohei Yamamoto - "Miss You (Live)"

This whole week, it seems like any plans made just backfire. Annoying, it is. Gah. The one on my mind right now is the karaoke contest. Don had to quit, then Christian says he can't cuz he has plans (althought this was said weeks before x_x), Sarah wanted to quit, and Kenneth was indifferent. It's like no one else knows how to plan or organize anything. I hate having to plan everything. Sure, I did sign everyone up, but this was made weeks in advance, then Christian suddenly asks when it is, and he says he's busy? GAH! I don't even want to do it anymore. It was all just for fun, then all this crap happened. Ack! I still kinda want to do it for fun, but how the heck did it get so complicated? Screw it. aKJAHKkj;RKJSAH;KLGJN

So, today..
I had to plan a thing at my house so we can discuss karaoke. We found out (although we already knew) that none of us could sing. Ended in failure, but it was kinda fun just having people over.

Before that, Sarah and I went to the Y. We did Tai Chi. We were the only kids or young people there. There were people ranging from their 20's to 50's, but they all pretty much seemed to be regulars. Sarah and I were pretty lost cuz we came late, but I caught on okay. The teacher was nice, but he had some guy teach us since we were beginners. The other guy was.. kinda nice, but he seemed stressed with us. ^^; They told us to practice at home or else we'll forget cuz they only have it once a week. In the end, it was fun.

Now, I'm bored with nothing to do. Washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, got my GQ magazine, ... blah. I wish someone could come over. I feel lonely x_x. I'm home alone.. yah, NOW is one of those times it'd be great to have a boyfriend. Then I could get him to come over and I could just hug him all day.. night, whatever. >.> DAMN!

I think I should read or do some other sort of summer homework. I feel pathetic.

New-Found Appreciation

Switchfoot - 24

I just came back from LA a couple of hours ago. I'm pretty exhausted. I wanna sleep and all, but I really should try to read. I'm not even CLOSE to being half done with East of Eden. I think the whole writing notes in it is slowing me down a lot cuz I have to think about what's not THAT important and what seems key. Gah. I like to just read and not stop. Stupid note taking, reading logs, and all that crap. I'll remember the book, dammit! East of Eden is interesting, but taking notes kills it. Iono why, but it reminds me of "Crash" a lot. They give you different people and how their lives.. intertwine. Also, that one part.. [SPOILER *highlight to read*] where Alice tells Adam after he almost gets killed by Charles that Adam just needs to know him. She told Adam about how Charles gave her all these small gifts that she didn't think he'd even notice. She said that she'd look at Charles for a while after finding them and he'd give no sign that he'd done it, but the whole time, it was actually Adam who had given here the cinnamon pinks, half a stick of sealing stuff?, a feather, etc. Adam didn't say anything cuz he didn't want to kill her image of her son. [/SPOILER].. This is also another spoiler, but for "Crash". I doubt anyone will watch the film cuz I don't know many people who are into independent films, so just skip it if you don't want to read. [SPOILER] At the end of "Crash", this detective has to take his mom to see his now deceased brother who was found shot and apparently murdered. The mom is crying like crazy, screaming out. (Note: Throughout the film, she tells her detective son to go and find his brother who ran away, not really caring for her son who was by her side.) After she stops crying and yelling, she tells her detective son that her son came back while she was sleeping and brought her some groceries. I can't really recall, but I'm pretty sure she blamed her detective son for his brother's death because he didn't bring him home. She did blame him though. Anyway, it was her detective son who threw away her old, spoiled food and replaced it with new groceries while she slept. He didn't tell her. I thought it was pretty sad. [/SPOILER] Yah... so, East of Eden is interesting. =]

Now! To recap my weekend in LA. It's going to be a long post x_x Gah.
Friday: We were off to LA. It took us... maybe 8 hours? There was crazy traffic. I hate how LA is built. It's built from the inside and spreads out, so everyone's heading inwards and there's no escape. When we finally reached our hotel, we were to go eat with a family friend. Ah yes, right when you think there's enough car action, they stuff you in another one. -_- We ate at a restaurant.. one of those places where they give you a set of different dishes (I think the place we went to was 7 Mon Bo, meaning 7 dishes of beef). It was okay, but the guy paid for us, so no complaining. It was just boring cuz they kept talking and John and I just sat there. I did see this guy that looked okay, but I couldn't really see, so Iono. Mostly, I just kept on watching little kids run around or be handed around (you know how everyone wants to hold the baby -_-). I think that I think only Asian babies are cute. One thing I know is, I don't think white babies are cute. So yah, lotsa cute Asian babies and kids. "I thought you hate kids," you must be thinking. Yah, when they're annoying or something, then yes, I hate kids, but when they shut up and don't whine, then they're okay by me. When we got back to our room, we watched some TV, then slept. I shared a bed with my brother and he moves around like crazy. Not only that, he and my dad were snoring insanely loud. Thank God for my iPod.
Saturday: We went to Disneyland. We rode the Jungle Cruise (there was a hot guy! you can see a little bit of his head in the picture popping out behind the guy in black), Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones, Peter Pan, Snow White, some Buzz Lightyear ride, and some others I just can't seem to remember. There was a lot of jazz stuff going on. Bands, dancing, that sorta thing. There was this one college band.. man, that was really good. I always thought the cello sounded pretty, but this girl played this Duke Ellington song so well and I wished I knew what a cello was when I was 5. DAMN! I could seriously learn to love jazz. HART! <3) I could really loves swing, jazz, and the blues. ^^ They also had these new mosaics that were made of pictures taken with guests. I thought they looked pretty cool. Anyway, we stayed at Disneyland for a really long time. We ate dinner there at the French.. something. It wasn't that great. =/ Disneyland is known to have really good food, but I guess we picked the wrong place. -__- They had good jazz music there, but MAN! There was this stupid white lady (yah.. damn racism) who was behind me in line. I just wanted to go back to get a cup of ice cuz the cashier said I could, and she gave me that look. You know.. that glare, or otherwise known as "dogging." Her husband was nice to me and I was nice to him when he accidentally got ice in my food. Beach! I didn't do anything to you and your husband got ice in my food, so who's the one that should be bitchy? She even pushed our trays aside. Things like that make me even more racist. Yah, I don't think it's a good thing, nor do I take pride in being racist, but man, it's just so hard for me not to think, Fucking white people. I'm not racist where I stereotype all white people, but when a white person pisses me off, which is often, I get racist. See, I didn't care about her husband. Nice guy, but she was such a prick. Gah. John ran into an asshole too. We were in line for.. Peter Pan, was it? This lady had two small kids and they ran in front of John and the lady went with them. Yah, if we weren't already in line, then it wouldn't be cutting necessarily, just cutting off, but we were in the rails and everything. John asked her if she would please not cut and gave him a look as if he were rude. Wtf? (no, she wasn't white) My dad just told him to let her go first, but that lady glared at us as if we had done something wrong. I would've just let her go too, but the fact that she looked at us as if we were the ones who cut or something, that was pretty fucking stupid. GAH! STUPID PEOPLE ANGER ME! John did take it up the ass, but yah, he was made out to be stupid after saying something and having to back down. =/ I'd hate it too. Anyway (I get off track easily, huh?), we went on some other rides. My parents went on the carousel (I've never been on it, at least not that I can recall) and John and I waited. I was sitting alone and suddenly.. hot guy! He was by himself and by chance was standing in front of me. After looking at him a while, he looked at me. He walked back and forth by me. Yah, I should've gotten up and said something to him, but I've never done that sorta thing before. I'm a total n00b. =[ Then his family came and they walked away. I thought, DAMN! If only I said something! When my parents came out, we all walked toward some other ride and I saw him sitting on the side, looking at me. I doubt he was checking me out and only looked cuz we were walking by, but I yet again didn't go over to talk to him. Later, while my parents were watching FANTASMIC!, John and I went on the Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion. We were totally dancing in our haunted buggy. It was kinda funny. After, we were just walking around, waiting, I saw another hot guy! He had a nice body and a good face, but he gave off a weird feeling. Maybe it's cuz he was wearing a wife beater, showing that he knew he had a nice body. I like guys who have great qualities, but don't flaunt them. Later, we got back to the hotel, I read more East of Eden, and slept to my blasting iPod.
Sunday: We went to Universal Studios. The first ride we went on was The Mummy, at least for John and I. I told my parents that they probably shouldn't go with us cuz I didn't know if it'd be too much for them or not cuz of my dad's back and my mom's being prone to motion sickness. We went and it was pretty good. It's a ride mostly for film effects kinda stuff, but it does go forward and backward with some pretty sharp turns. I didn't think it was so bad, so I got my parents to go. when we were in the front of the line..

Worker: How many?
Dad: Three.
Worker: Row One.
Mom *walking hesitantly*: W..What? Row ONE?!
Me: .. It's okay.

We let her sit in the middle. Then.. off we went! When we stop the first time, it give the feeling that it's over, then it goes backward. When we were in the eclipse room where it ends, my mom was screaming, "Is it over?!" Yes, it was over. When we were to get out, my mom was frozen. I didn't see her face really, but my dad said she was in shock and her face was pale. He said the way she looked was scarier than the ride. That's pretty sad. =P When we finally helped my mom out of the entire building, she had to sit down, then lie down. My dad was trying to coax her, but he just kept laughing at her. It was pretty funny. x_x She kept on talking about it the whole vacation after that. After that, my dad and I went on Jurassic Park cuz my mom already went with my dad while John and I went on The Mummy the first time and John went while I was on the Mummy with my parents. My dad wanted to go again anyway, so we went. They added some new stuff, I think, like that car that leans over and drops. It freaked me out cuz it was right next to me. I thought, Oh, it's just going to lean over... OMG! WHY IS IT FALLING! AHHH! Yah.. everything was on my side. I got squirted and splashed by everything. We watched some shows (Waterworld was good) and just went on rides. We mostly went on those sit-in-a-moving-chair-with-a-screen-in-front-of-you rides, but it is Universal Studios, so it makes sense, right?

I don't think I'll ever finish this post. Too long. -_-
