New Moon Critique

OMB, just realized that my first blog on this site was, well not dedicated to Twilight, but a critique of the movie and other things. After watching the movie New Moon in theaters 3 times and a couple times over the internet, I think it's fitting to write a critique on the second film of the "Saga."

First, I'd like to say that everyone is giving this Vampire love story far too much credit. I'll admit that I am one of those people. (I'm the girl who read it in 7th grade and told errbody that I loved it, but then nobody really cared, and then I found a friend who loved reading as much as I do, and then we obsessed over what I call Teen Books and got the books as soon as they came out. And NOW we can cash in and say everyone is late at reading. Even Britney Spears here. We read that in 2nd grade, honey.) But I also think that Vampires are never going to fall in love with me and be all sparkly and "vegetarian." The theater -- all three times -- was filled with younger kids: Teeny-Boppers and older women: Twi-Moms. Creepy, lots of yelling and cheering and howling (though that was me).

Now for the real stuff: Cinematography and Effects.

UPGRADE.

Fast motion scenes? Intense. Things in the shot that you don't see until you've watched it a few times, trust me.

Beasts? Hell yeah. Not as amazing as Transformers and Harry Potter, but now everyone's seeing the money that flows from this "Saga."

Action shots? Try to make you feel like you're actually there, love it.

There were less landscape shots, but when you've got a story to tell, you've got to tell a story.

Actors

K. Stewart: Better, by only a margin. Wtf is with the yelling in bed? I don't know anyone who yells like they're about to give birth when they have nightmares. There are just some awkward motions she does, but I guess that makes her seem more like a person, rather thanjust some character. So GOOD JOB, if that was intentional.

R. Pattinson: Not in too much of it, but I'm beginning to think that that was a good thing. I feel uncomfortable watching him on screen, he doesn't look like he's really into the character, well either that or he's over doing it.

T. Lautner: Okay, someone needs to take classes. Nice try, but I didn't buy a word he said. I think that's why he was shirtless the entire time, his acting may not be good, but DAMN lookee those abs!

Other Vampires:

Meh, still not feeling it from "Jasper," but even still much better than last year's constipation.

Alice is doing pretty good, great facial expressions and body language.

Esme, Rosalie and Emmett not enough to say anything. But P. Facinelli (Carlisle) looking good.

'Bad' Vamps: Dakota Fanning, she really didn't do much, but she's been in the bidness for a long time, I was expecting more.

Aro, the only guy with more than 2 lines, did well.

No one else had more lines than that, thank Blog, I don't think they were selling anything.

Werewolves: Again with the reasoning: THERE MUST BE A REASON WHY THEY'RE ALWAYS SHIRTLESS.

Of course I loved it, whenever someone makes a film out of a book and the outcome is at least DECENT, I will grow an attachment for it. (The same could not be said for The Series of Unfortunate Events movie, which was an "Unfortunate Event" itself.) There have been better movies out there, but New Moon fulfills my movies needs and answered what Jessica in New Moon asked, "Where were all the hot guys and making out?" (However there wasn't too much making out, but a lot of teasing. Had me biting my fist. JUSS PLAYIN'.)

So I've Been Procrastinating.

Though I suppose if you're reading this you are too. My heart goes out to whomever decides to read this. And just for you, I've got a whole bunch of fun little pictures for you to enjoy (and my commentary, of course).

I was watching trailers for upcoming movies off Apple, and I stumbled upon the movie Clash of the Titans which didn't look like it would be interesting, but had like Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson. The trailer started off with these gigantor scorpion thingies, and then this guy here sticks his hand out and starts wriggling his fingers. I watched this last week, and now every time I hear the word "grope" (which is surprisingly a LOT) I think about this guy. Disgusting.

And everyone takes those screen pictures of Google giving weird suggestions to searches, so I tried my hand at it and ended up with this right here. I've got to say that I would love to know the answers to these questions, but alas, I do not. However, I'd like to state, that I'd probably never ask Google these questions, (Nipples? Really?) but now I'm stuck wondering how many people did ask these questions? The questions that should be at the top is "Why do people ask stupid questions?" And what do you know?, that's not even on this list. Talk about DENIAL.

And speaking of denial, I will admit that I've been alllll up in my Tumblr as of late and I do regret not Blogger-ing, but Tumbl-ing. Oh my blog.

Oh No!

I still need to work on those college apps, but I'm having too much fun making facebook videos. Oh no.

It's Been Awhileee

That song is now stuck in my head. Just got a Tumblr y'all, so look me up! :)

Been A While. Choo-choo.

So I haven't written in sooo long. I feel rather bad about that but, that's what happens. 

This summer there has been: friend-ditching, summer-school; movies (so many); money wasting; ComicCon; Tex-ass; cousin-times; San Francisco; San Jose; birthdays; beaches; CANDY; diets; gym; some AP homework; and Tap Tap on iPhones and iTouches.

I wish there was more time to do stuff. Finally the last summer before I'm done with school and it was so short. (Not what she said.) Well there's still plenty of time to do things, but its never really enough.

TelevisionTalk: That new show on USA Network is pretty cool, but I'm weak for pretty boys and doctors. Then TrueBlood is back for another sexy, mouthwatering season. Monk has begun it's last season and Psych is hilarious as ever.

Family: Plenty of traveling and furlough for the state has not gotten any better. Also my mother is upset with my sister and my spending on the card. Poops.

Friends: Some disappeared, some had birthdays, some got licenses, some did not hook up, but I guess this list should be saved for the end of summer.

Today: (Now yesterday.) My sister was supposed to go camping, but after being stung by a bee (and being quite allergic to them) she returned home after 3 hours of kayaking in mountain lakes. I decided to work out with the Bestie which meant I drive to her house and we jog to another friend's house. It's good for the heart I suppose, but then we ended up staying too long at Juan's house and he drove us back. 

Funny though. He claims he only drove once before at night and was really nervous. The entire time he was making these ridiculous sound effects. Boys are weird. Haha.

Summertime Starts.

Wow, a whole school year, all nine and a half months of it, finally over. I can't believe it. I'm not doing any homework right now and I still just can't believe it. 

It started pretty well too, except for the fact that I caught a cold. (What is with the weather anyway?) The friends kicked it off by bowling, and while I wish we could've stayed out longer, it was still pretty amazing. Then on Saturday our family, and some family friends went to the Pantages to watch the stage performance of Dirty Dancing. 

And today, besides the fact that the LAKERS won it, TrueBlood is back! Even though I missed out on a Jo Koy show, I'm just excited. 

Only downside? Only two weeks until summer school. 

CURSE YOU UC-SYSTEM! WHY DO I NEED TO TAKE AN ART?

MAYDAY! SOS!

So I haven't written in nearly 2 months, and I've gotta say; I feel guilty. I don't think that anyone is actually reading every word i write, but I feel like I've been neglecting my blog.

Anyway, I really shouldn't be chatting right now, but I'm freaking out a little here. I've got a bio project due tomorrow that I hadn't worked much on. Which is, you know, great since I've had it for like a month but I never really worked on it, so now I'm feeling horrible. And then I've got a bajillion projects to ultimately complete before school's out.

God, teachers want to lay on the final projects like crazy. It's disgusting. 

So quick catch up: a bunch of birthdays, a bunch of baking, 2 family pool parties, 2187469038572 horrible projects, 93192659012495132 tests (including AP and SATIIs), shopping, girls days, Disneyland, SPRING BREAK, DVD viewings, and gym membership.

Yesterday my sister and I went to the gym to get our free evaluation and damn does that make a girl feel gross. Or then again, it could just be me. :P But she worked us out a little and now all my muscles are sore, but I'm super proud of myself for not passing out. HAHA.

I guess I really should get to work, especially since those movie awards are out tonight and I really want to see that New Moon clip! God, that makes me feel like a teeny-bopper. Goodbye sweet May, and hello last two weeks of school!

A Fool in April

As it would turn out, I have been disturbingly swamped this month. I'm not getting any sleep and I've failed a math test; which, if you've ever read my other blogs on failing math tests, means that my parents, specifically my mother this time, has attacked my self-esteem.

Besides the fact that every time I do something that she doesn't like and she blames me on being overweight, nights without sleep are catching up on me. On Friday night (or rather very early Saturday morning, after going to Disneyland with the D5) I got about 10 hours of sleep. Which would seem like a miracle, which it was, but I had a nightmare that has to do with diabetes, and those dreams just freak me out. I think my mother is getting to me, it's only really sad that I have nightmares about her.  

I have also had an epiphany in which I realized that I really do only like reading because I'd rather have my imagination taken somewhere so I can get away from reality. 

On top if failing a math test, my mother is taking part of my Spring Break away from me.

Al Fin? del mes de marzo.

Well I haven't written in a while. Things have been pretty hectic as of late. Not that I can say that I've made it any easier on myself. I'm too much of procrastinator, you see.

In the following week I have 2 projects due, both in AP classes, so my concern is obvious. For English I've been trying to work on it for weeks, and well, I did it. I feel like I can jump around like Dora the Explorer. But in History, a class which I've come to very much dislike, I'm still lagging. Not only are we all a bit busy with school, but there have been some other complications and obligations.

Last night I went to DisneyLand with my sister and her good friend, whom I shall refer to as my Favorite. Well, as usual, we arrived late, but the lines were enormous. Surprisingly though, I saw my good friend Connie from school. That wasn't really random though, we both do go often. And we watched the fireworks before deciding to do something different; we went on a Hidden Mickey Hunt. It was awesome. :D 

After riding Indiana Jones at exactly midnight, we wandered into Downtown Disney for ice cream, but apparently the store closed early. We settled for Jamba juice that was way overpriced. 

After arriving home at two in the morning, I took a shower and fell asleep around three. Then my mother awoke me at nine to bake a cake for my Aunt's birthday. Due to my projects I was unable to go to that family party, but I hope everyone's enjoying my cake. 

Man, I put some Love into that cake. 

Well, now I'm home alone and my English project is done. (YAY) Oh this morning some of my fellow club members and I were in the newspaper. And they got my name right!

BOOM, roasted.

Fmylife. - A Rant.

Well. Now I feel like crap. I haven't written in a long time and today; everything just went to sh*t.

SO the credit card bill came in today. In one month my sister managed to spend about $450. It is amazing. I'd applaud her, but my parents are quite upset. In fact, my mother was so upset that she began telling me how fat I was. WTF. Are you freaking kidding me? What does me being overweight have to do with my sister having fun at Forever 21? So while my parents were plotting on ways to get my sister so become frugal, my mother goes on about how I am fat. So I called my sister up to warn her. Because if money makes them think I'm fat, it must be pretty bad right?

And just now, my lame-o history teacher posted grades. Like 2 hours before they are due. I'm missing an assignment or two and now my grade is a C. Seriously? I do all my freaking work in that class. So I dug up my papers, but the grades are due in an hour and a half. So on my grade report it will say that I have a C. Which is because the majority of our grades depend on our tests, but oh! we've only had ONE FREAKING TEST. Which just happened to be on Friday the 13th, and was just absolutely horrible.

So I went to my parents, so they don't freak out on me about having a C, which is probably going to be a B- when I get this all sorted out. I ran down stairs and my mother continues to tell me that she has no idea where I'm going in life. GOOD LORD. ARE YOU SERIOUS! IT IS A FREAKING C! She tells me that she hopes I can make it into a Cal-State, or even Mt. SAC, because I'm failing in her eyes. Then she goes on to compare me to my sister; who had a massive love for history and some kind of crush on this DBag of a teacher. That in itself is enough to gross me out. But anyway, she loves history, so she's good at it. History, as I said in one of my blogs, is lame to me. The past is the past, good to know, but let's move on. Seriously, there's always going to be a freaking past, and it just continues to grow. Anyway then my dad's talking about how I'm fat.

BAD GRADES HAVE FREAKING NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING OVERWEIGHT.

Okay, I lost like 2 inches around my waist, wth. Will my grades suddenly shoot up? No. It's like talking to recording. "Well, if you lost some weight..."

If I lost weight what? I'd suddenly become a princess? I'd suddenly have money? I'd suddenly be a freaking genius? My homework would suddenly be completed; the house immaculate? I'm seriously thinking of going on one of those rush diets. I bet, if I lose like 50 pounds, we'll have world peace.

Boom Boom Pow.

Man, school is gone by pretty fast this week. I'm not complaining, although now I feel like I have so much stuff to make up. Oh snaps. Whatever. I'm still having concentration problems. And I keep dreaming. I thought I was having problems concentrating on just work. But now it's like everything.

I was reading a friend's blog, then I realized that my blog might sound like I'm whiny and always complaining. I guess I am. It's a blog, and on mine I shall vent, whine, and sound depressed. Hopefully I'm not like this out in society, but if I am; SORRY.

Haha. It doesn't matter much, I still got that boom boom pow.

The lyrics of that song remind me of someone; because "These chickens jacking my style." Not that I have much of a style, it's more like someone's trying to copy my personality. It feels wrong.

COMPLAINT:
So I had this one best friend, and at the beginning of the school year we were as tight as ever. But some new chick, a younger chick, came in and messed that up. While my friend and I managed to stay close, that insufferable little bugger came in and fcked my friendship up. The fun part was that I was somewhat intimidating to her, so that scared her off, but now that I'm not around, that girl has coveted my friend. My friend has blindly fallen for this, and I want to warn her, but I feel like I'd be keeping her all to myself. I guess if she really wants those types of friends, she can have them. It's like one of those "if you love someone, you'll let them go" things. God, that little snitch is so annoying though. My friend and I were talking in a crowd of people and that little chick runs right between us and our conversation to pull her away. GD. I guess that's the only way she can keep friends though. She was "tryin' to covet my swagger" but "I'm on that next sh*t now."

Moving on, History Class is bad, I think my teacher hates me. But yesterday, a guest speaker gave everyone $5 gift cards to Starbucks, which my Bess Prann and I utilized after school today.

Today, my Bess Prannn (BP) asked a guy to Sadies, cute. She also got to skip some classes for her show tonight, which I wasn't able to attend due to my poor timing with naps. But after escuela, we hung out, went to the mall and window-shopped, trying practically everything at Bath & Body. So it was fun just to catch up with her.

Another best friend, I shall call him Juan, told me he couldn't go to Disneyland with us tonight, which put a damper on my lunch. I guess it doesn't matter now though, since the whole DIsneyland thing failed.

And another very close friend, I shall call him the Phag, told me he had something to tell me. When I finally got him alone long enough, he decided that he'd wait for another time to tell me about the girl he likes. That makes me sound nosy, but we have an agreement. He tells me who he likes, I listen to him and his crazy plans to meet the poor girl, jk, and if it falls through then we start all over again. I don't think his plans have ever worked out, but it's fun to help him try.

Another very close friend, whom shall be named the Jew (He is not a Jewish person, it mostly has to do with his last name spelled differently. ;]) has been very upbeat today. Yay!

Now that it's already 9PM, I don't feel like going out tonight, but I know I'll be utterly bored staying in. I have no idea what to do.

Gross.

During lecture my biology teacher sometimes goes off topic, related or otherwise, and today it made me feel guilty. Talk of pancreas-es and insulin and blood and diabetes and disease.

Which reminded me that it's been over 6 months since my last blood test. I'm going to be needing one soon. But I'm scared of the results.

Meanwhile this is a test week, today was Spanish. Tomorrow is bio, English, and APUSH (ew). Today during the Spanish test, my left arm kept twitching, almost vibrating. And right now I can feel a pulse going through it, a little pain.

Failing a math test is fine, failing health is another thing. I'm screwed.

Dear Diary.

Failing(ish) a math test + mother =

anger
warnings
disciplinary action
disgust
disappointment
re-evaluating a person's worth

It's a fcking math test.
As long as I'm not failing life, then I don't give a damn.
But apparently D's are the devil.

Sorry mother; I guess I'm just not good enough.

Rooted, But Branching.

I am on a blogging roll this week!

So today was not as tense as other days. Especially not with the family, although there is always time for things to go south. Anyway, my father remarked on a family friend who is now 29 years old. She is still doing nursing school and is unmarried, without children. She's still living with her family actually. Anyway, my father was telling about all his accomplishments by that age, and then about my mother's. He's telling me that if I end up nowhere when I'm 30 he'll be very disappointed. He didn't physically state that, but he was totally hinting at it.

Life is so different from the "old country" though. Back there you're old at 40 and old at 26 if you're unmarried. Of course they frown on premarital whatnot and spending money. But these are all "normal things" these days.

Although I want to follow the traditions, it's hard not to get caught up on what's really happening. Peer pressure is difficult and people are getting sneakier. Some students choose to stick to silence and others choose to shout their opinions at the top of their lungs. "It's all about drinks, it's all about drugs and it's all about sex." Maybe for some people, but not everyone.

I think the worst part is the media, epecially television shows. Many of them show Americans like these crazy people. Especially Californians. As a member of this Golden State, with some random connections, I have to admit that not everyone here is a supermodel, Asian, superstar or Hispanic. Not everyone has money or is friends with some famous person and in the know. I happen to know a girl who lives in a northern area. She said the headlines of newspapers report dead bears in the street, not the latest A-List Abuse.

Anyway, with all these changes it's hard to do what is expected. May God have mercy on my parents if I one day go crazy.

Ashes to Ashes.

Besides the fact that it is again Hump Day, it is also Ash Wednesday! So to all those Catholics out there; Happy Lenten Season to you!

I usually give up food. And I have done so again this year. People always stare at me like I'm weird when I tell them what I've given up, and I suppose it does sound random.

1. Potatoes
2. Pasta/Noodles
3. $1 Taco Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Yep. That looks weird. But hey, better look closely at everything you eat. At least half of it consists of potatoes and pasta. The tacos... well, I might be able to save some cash [along with gasoline, time and calories] doing that. But when it's all over, I'll will probably go out and buy a whole five dollar's worth. I'm a big spender, see?

Speaking of big spenders, as I watched my KDrama, I noticed that again the rich boy threw his cellular phone down on the ground and stepped over it. [He was being all angst-y] Come on, do people really just have enough money to trash phones like that? What a waste. He also managed to buy one for his girlfriend, only because there was no other way to get a hold of her. Talk about possessive. Whatever, he's rich and cute. I guess it doesn't matter much after that. Jota Ka.

Yesterday my good friend, whom I shall call FahNay, and I have decided that we will marry very rich men and have as many children as we please. Because it would be ridiculous to keep having kids if you have to go out and work. However, if you've married a rich man, you might as well just stick to baby-making. Also a couple friends have taken the name of a certain teacher and turned it into a verb which means to molest. Not that he does that stuff, it's just that he always makes allusions to such "naughty" things. But, it could be worse. He could be mean and dull. You know who I'm talking about.

I've also realized that my concentration span has gotten a lot shorter with age. I hope I don't live to be too old, I might become an old crazy lady. |P Don't want that.

I guess it's time for me to do the math homework I've been avoiding all day. If I could get paid for avoiding things, I'd be a freaking millionaire... But for now, it's just a bad habit.

PMS is Crap.

So now that I've gotten over that rant, it's time to press forward.

I spent all of the next day watching a Korean Drama: Boys Before Flowers.

Even though all the kdramas I watch have the same formula [1 strong, poor, independent girl, of a wacky family, choosing between 2 men who are very good options] I always get sucked into it. Especially when there's a cute guy somewhere in there. [In this case the guy in a side romance: YiJung/ Kim Bum!!]

As a woman, which I will define as someone who receives her monthly gift, I am totally disappointed that Mother Nature showed up today. The day that Southern California has the most ridiculous weather: Rain to 78 Fahrenheit.

Well today someone uploaded the 15th Episode of BBF and I had to watch it. :D But there happened to be some really sad parts. And as my feelings are especially sensitive this week, I cried.

Just preposterous.

I don't know how women in Korea can take this.

But I still believe in my strength; I did not cry in the face of Shane West in A Walk to Remember. But I thought that movie was crap.

Lost.

It's one of those times again.

Friday was a long day. And I don't really want to talk about it.
Today/Yesterday, since it's midnight already, was lame.

I have been addicted to a KDrama.
I hate this. I love it. It's like a drug. Strange comparison. It's like a good book. I suppose I'm addicted to those too. If I classify something as an addiction, will I have enough strength and control to stop myself?

I'm overweight, with bad genes so now I've got what is technically a blood disease.

What the fck am I doing with my life?
My mother is upset. My sister is trying to encourage. And I am just lost.
Am I really full of potential, or just a potential disaster?
I can't concentrate too long these days.
I feel sick in the mornings. I never want to get out of bed.
I don't comb my hair much anymore. Makeup covers sleepiness and the fact that I am breaking out.
Is it pms?

Does my cousin's dream predict miracles are coming for my family? For her? Any miracle at all?

Am I destined to be a spinster? Will I ever really fall in love? Am I in love with my friend, or do I really just love him like a sibling?

I'm not doing bad things, I just don't have a plan. I don't know what to do. I can't believe I'm so freaking lost.

El día de San Valentín!

I'm honestly not sure if he exists, but let's just assume that he does. :D So today is a day of love, and as many other people I'm am sadly Valentine-less. As always. And my only consolation is that my father always over does things for my mother, by which I mean, there is always plenty of chocolate to go around.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm sad or just exhausted, but I've been sleeping a lot more than usual lately. I slept around 12 hours last night. I think it might also be the weather. With the random winter storms, well I think them random, but then Yoo goes and reminds me that it's Global Warming.

I haven't written in a while, mostly because I've been so busy with school and then there was the Sacramento trip. Well I should elaborate on that, I went to a Capitol Leadership Experience almost 2 weeks ago. It was great. I met a bunch of new people, learned a lot about the government system of passing laws, [obviously, it's a legislative thing.] noticed how bad the budget crisis was, met the district Senator, learned that the people who work in there have bowling tournaments for fun, [they're regular people!] and well, missed 3 days of school. That part started out fun, but when we got back the work load was absolutely ridiculous.

Then it started to rain a lot more.

2/6/09 I watched Coraline in 3D with Yoo, Steph, and Sufjan. [All of which are nicknames.] Then we went to Rowland Heights to visit my old house. I met up with my old friend Stephanie and we caught up, although she reminded me of one of my first boyfriends. [If he counts.]

2/9/09 was when our school celebrated Washington's Birthday.

2/12/09 was the most horrible morning ever.

2/13/09 was Friday the 13th, they aren't usually too bad for me, but apparently they are for my sister who ended up getting food poisoning. Then we went to the dentist, who is like 30 minutes away. I don't understand why our dentist is 30 minutes away, we really should have gotten someone closer. I have almost cavities, so they put this enamel thing on/in my teeth, so now when I bite my teeth don't touch each other, just that enamel stuff. It feels like cement in my mouth. And that lady got it on my inner mouth skin, so when my tongue touches it, it's all out of place. Good way to top off the night though, watching a new episode of Psych, which was scary and fun all together.

And now we're basically up-to-date. My mouth hurts a little more because of my growing wisdom teeth. I watched Avatar all day. I went to church. There was a cute guy sitting in front of me, or I think he was cute. He had an attractive back, and I do not mean his buttocks! [Although there wasn't much there, sadly.] But he was a bit snobby, complete turnoff. My mother made too much food for dinner. And people have been saying Happy Love Day! Well good day to you too, but I'm not feeling it. Oh well, maybe next year! |P

Day of Recognition Indeed.

Because my schedule has been busy this Sunday, I didn't have time to write the blog to vent out excitement. I realize that I haven't gotten around to making one yet, and well I don't think it's too much to vent out my excitement.

YAYAYAYYAYAYYAYAY YAYAYAYYAYYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAY
YAY.

Now that that's over.

Saturday was just one of those great days that come along well after all this crap's happened. So now I'm worried about the crap part. But still.

It all began with rain. Although this ruined plans of going to Chinatown with my good friend, I ended up sleeping in a little more. Then I awoke to a text from my Besss Prann telling me that I was in the newspaper. It's local but still. My mom found another picture of me in there and I snipped them both out. Wow, that sounds a bit narcissistic. But so was that whole day. Then I found my first name spelled incorrectly. Seriously. It's not that difficult to spell.

Whilst hanging out with my friend, it was our Saturday so we watched a few movies and just caught up. It's been a while since I even had time to think about hanging out with her; our schedules are so hectic.

Later, at the Leadership Banquet, my family came with me this year. When we found our seats, our last name was spelled incorrectly. :( Only an emoticon can describe. However on the paper awards that I recieved my name was spelled correctly, thank goodness. And surprise, surprise I won the Vladislav Ruza Award. I suppose I ought to give some background: he was also in the Leadership class many years ago and passed away in a tragic accident. Because he was a dedicated and loving person, Leadership created an award in his honor. And shoot. It feels great to be worthy of that award. And my name was spelled correctly! And the Memories Slideshow was just so cute.

As is custom, after the banquet we go to the Denny's Restaurant near our school. Which really doesn't make sense because the banquet was like 20 minutes away from home, then we pass by home to go to Denny's and then go back home. Well whatever. It was fun anyway.

So all-in-all, it was a great day to get my name out. Even if it was spelled incorrectly. :P

Half way there.

So I have finally finished my last day of the first semester this school year. It's been a pretty crazy day. It was my last day in the Leadership class and overall, it was just not long enough.

We only had 3 classes today, and all were about an hour and a half long. And my friend passed her Drivers' License test today too. It was just a day to celebrate. After a quick shop at the mall, we ate at the new BJ's restaurant that just opened. After eating, catching up with the girlfriends and some pretty fun conversation, it was time to visit other friends.

Those guys just kept calling and when I got there, it was just those two playing video games. I mean, really. Guys might be able to just have fun playing those for hours but I'd rather talk or something. I don't know. Maybe it's the testosterone-estrogen differences. How they can do that is just mind-boggling. Though to be fair, it must be mind boggling to why girls can just go to the mall for hours, not buy anything and still have fun.

Anyway, I just decided that today needed a post because it felt like a monumental day where so much and yet so little occurred.

God, that is annoying.

School is not Fun.

It's been about 3 weeks since my last post and things have been on roller coaster tracks. The only thing going on in my life right now is procrastination. And, boy, is it bad. I really ought to be doing some English, or study for Friday's history test, but I really can't push my self up to it.

I wish we had 4 days of school a week. Don't just give me a 3-day weekend either. We should have Wednesdays off. Two days of school, one day off. Two days of school, 2 days off. That'd be just great. And if anyone asks, we'll just say; "Because it's Hump Day!" Which is one of those things my teacher in the first grade used to say, especially when she gave us pop vocabulary quizzes. Thanks Miss Duke, or Miss Duke 'em Nuke 'em.

Since today was, or still is Wednesday, I've decided to write down today's events.
Per.1 - Notes on Photosynthesis, with detailed graphics. yay...
Per. 2 - A quick vocabulary test which was followed by working on Group Timed Writes (Essays)
Per. 3 - We had a substitute, whom us Spanish students called : Señora Hierros
Per. 4 - Almost cried giving my Final Report. And I found out who wrote me a strange note sometime last school year.
Lunch - Had a UCC meeting.
Per. 5 - Lecture of history.
Per. 6 - Lecture on Spanish Commands.
Over the day - Plans to make this week the week of Dress-up Thursday and Friday. Thursday will be Springtime dresses (Because we've just got amazingly, if not annoyingly, warm weather this week.) And the following day will be DSF (Dirty Slut Friday) because we all should dress somewhat inappropriately. Also we made plans of presents for a friend's birthday tomorrow. It's rather difficult to get what she wants, because she's been avoiding talking of her birthday. But it won't matter come tomorrow.
After School - A few friends and I went over to Walmart for cake-shopping and project shopping. And then I did a little of my own shopping. Later I skipped over to Staples for some school supplies. I tried to do homework and ended up painting my nails. Which are now very purple. I edited my myspace and all this random stuff to waste time.

Now I've got to pick up my slack here and rush. Good Lord, I make things difficult don't I?

A little side note, the Fresh and Easy Store opened up nearby and the man twirling and dancing with the WE'RE OPEN arrow definitely caught everyone's attention. I consider him a hero. Because that man can dance up a storm and will probably end up dancing himself to death.
