Facing Reality
I feel dead.
Finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman. It was really good. Hmmm...I should reread Hounds of the Morrigan. Then again, I sould reread a lot of things. I told Mom I would read Women of the Silk by Gail Tsukiyama next.
Faq, I have homework.
In the Midst of All That
Took a shower afterwards. Felt much better about letting it out.
I thought about Herb and my conversation last night, and it made me quite happy. All the memories at 1 in the morning was such a blessing, as they always are. Thank you, my love.
Another Angry Rant
Here goes again.
My father's such a fucking jerk. Always fucking asking me to play the fucking piano when HE'S THE FUCKING BASTARD THAT CANCELED MY FUCKING LESSONS. I just fucking wish he was just a bit more fucking aware of what he bloody says. He can't even fucking see that it's because of my fucking parents that I don't even fucking play anymore. Each time he asks, I get this fucking replusion running through me. Such a deep hatred for the piano that I know doesn't fucking exist in my heart and I fucking hate it. I couldn't even take a fucking shower cuz I was so fucking ANGRY. It fucking doesn't help that he asked with a bunch of other things I have to do when he doesn't fucking see THAT IT'S MY FUCKING VACATION AND I'D LIKE TO FUCKING GET SOME WORK AND RELAXATION. Why can't he just fucking let my fucking piano self die. Just fucking die.
Okay
Bonded with Uncle Eric last night. We made fun of asian music. Yes, we have a jolly good time making fun of things.
Watched the first ten minutes of Matrix: Reloaded, then our family changed their minds (like the night before.) But I kept on drooling, making weird sounds, and pawing at the old loveseat for Seraph. So my uncle went to the fight scene between Seraph and Neo just for me. Ah...he was so beautiful. I continued to make sounds and drool, and my uncle Jet looked at me oddly and said "is she okay?"
We ended up watching My Wife is a Gangster, which was pretty funny. I borrowed Wasabi, if anyone remembers it from early July. Unky Eric also persuaded me to borrow The Debut, but I'm still kinda cynical about it.
Plan for today: concept cards. After each chapter, I'll play some Okage to help soothe the pain. Right.
What do you guys think? Should I
I like choices A and C
I Am Dried Dragon Sperm
At least, that's what Sam says in American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Such a whimsical character, sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to make love to her.
Don't ask. You never read that.
It must be Final Fantasy VII. Got it today. Haven't even beaten Trance Kuja in Final Fantasy IX. The guy who was loading our cart at Costco (his name is Kyle) was all "Final Fantasy VII is the best out of all of them." My uncle Eric agreed and said "See, I told you." I just nodded.
It's Spazzing
Well, thanksgiving dinner had a lot of food. 2 turkies (fried and baked,) shrimp, rice, pansit, bagaong, whipped mashed potatoes, gravy, kari-kari, peach cake and fruit salad. Then we watched Bend It Like Beckham. Staying the night. My family has seemed to have forgotten that I sleep over at my grandparent's house every holiday.
I was eating an apple and each time I took a bite, my uncle Eric kept on making a chomp sound. So, experimentaly, I poked my tongue out and licked it. He made another weird sound, and we kept on cracking up. Uncle Jet and Auntie Ireen were confused.
Mi Boca es un Panuelo
Went to Meier & Frank with Mom. Got a pair of earings for her coworkers, a ring, and a brown coat. Then went to the Rack and got some pillows to match her new quilt. Went to China town, I got a peach bubbletea while she got a cheese crepe. Looked at stuff.
Went to Herb's house. Kicked it with his grandma and mom. Herb came home. Mom left a bit later. Kicked it in Herb's temporary sleeping room and watched Transformers Armada. Went to dinner Italian style. Went home.
Aww, his grandmother's so charming!
How Nice
Well, doing stuff at my desk when me room suddenly turned gold. I turned around and there was a rainbow. It was quite pleasant.
Bwah. I can't find the packet for flats, platforms, line indications, and such for Tech. Faq. I must've left it in the auditorium. Ah well, not to worrried cuz my set's pretty simple. I just can't remember how to indicate the flats and platforms.
Put up more masquerade pics, kids.
Huffle
Damn you, Starfish! Lucky bitch saw Garbage in concert last year.
Taking a quick break from the evil of concept cards. They aren't that bad anymore, though. Ah, AP US History. I have high hopes for Chemistry though. *hugs her chemistry book*
A packet of stuff from Beloit College arrived yesterday.. Haven't really gottn to look at it yet. I will tommorow. I emailed Johns Hopkins' admissions person, Amy, and asked why there's an 's' at the end of John. I hope it's not too dorky. Ha.
Can't Think of a Subject
Yesterday, went to the archery range with Archery Club. Dude, it's really tiring, shooting arrow after arrow. I was so sore when I woke up @_@ Soaked in a really hot bubble bath last night. It was good.
Played a bit of Okage with Herb. We're kinda lost at the moment. Went to Meier & Frank with my parents. Saw Herb's parents there, then my Spanish teacher. Ah, the irony. They handed us to his parents cuz we were gonna kick it with them anyways. Watched Shattered Glass, where I've concluded Hayden Christensen illustrates a good whining bastard you just gotta laugh at. Went out for dinner Pizzicato style. Went to his house. Watched Princess Mononoke. Fell asleep. Woke up when my parents picked me up. It was kick.
Whee, his parents are spifftacular.
Dante or Drake?
OMG! Mom has agreed to let me get a hedgehog, and Herb even says he'll let me plan out my room so we can make room for our baby! Okay...not really our baby, just my hedgehog. I just like teasing him =P They're so adorable though! Look!
Anyhow! So can't decide on a name-Dante or Drake? I've gotten a few more Dantes than Drakes. But I'm keeping tally!
Dude. Richard and Chris- where are you guys?
Don't Eat Bread In Front of the Breadless
As Abby has quoted. Shyeah. "It's really supposed to be 'poor,' but I guess 'breadless' sounds funner." Yes, Abby. Yes.
Oh shyeah...lunch was interesting. As Miyazaki's Xanga says...
Stuff
Snow. It was happy. First 30 mins of Spanish class was anarchy, and Senorita got all flustered. Went to Powell's with Herb. Got some books. I can't find the Sandman V that I want. It's a conspiracy. Even went to Borders. Not there. Ack. Ate dinner with mom and Herb at Pho Van, then went to Moonstruck cafe.
From Danielle's Xanga
Shyeah, I was bored. Ya know, I'm gonna look back on these things and be all "...ummm..."
LAYER ONE:
Wasn't that just fun?
I Eat Atomic Donuts
Let out my "rant" to Pat about him being Fate (though I can't remember how) and doing tech at Tears of Joy and how he sabotaged Herb's search tickets for the concert. He got confused in a Pat way. So, the whole Pat-Fate thing was prevalent throughout the period
Subject is from chemistry, when our teacher was trying to explain a game (having to do with making atoms and stuff) and she drew something on the overhead. "It looks like a donut" I commented, and Christian wrote on a paper "I eat atomic donuts."
I PUT PICS UP! Be proud. It's categorized as "Pictures" located between Archives and My Sites. I only have a few right now cuz I haven't finished scanning them. But it's better than nothing. I'll tell you when I update it.
That Was Bad
Almost forgot to tell about Sci-Fi Fantasy Anime club today. We watched Haibane Renmei. It lacked so much wang. Kimiko and I kept on saying how wangless it was and said wang at various moments to make up for the past months we haven't said the beloved word. Anyhow, it was bad. When that chicks wings started sprouting, I was like "SARS!" and Lin-sama, back from an ASB meeting, was all "where?!" It was great. So shyeah. Helen-kun wasn't there that day. So for the most part, it was Kimiko and I, which means total insanity. Well, not total. We're quite laid back during the movies/shows compared to Lin-sama and Helen-kun. So shyeah, made fun of Haibane Renmei. Haibane sounds like "hi bunny" and Kimiko and my vision was a little bunny hopping up and down going "hi! hi! hi!" etc. And when that chick bit that other chick's thumb...just no. Except I was screaming shojo-ai and threw Christian's M&M's at the screen at one point. We condemned Saiyuki to never bring anything in again.
Also took the club pic. As a tradition (which started this year) I put my hair up funky before we took the pic. Knelt on Mr. V's desk with Kimiko and other people (Emeril?)
Damnit, I really wanna see Hoobastank in concert. Curse you, Eugene.
A Mimi and a Half
Spent fucking $58 on my chemistry book, since my other one has been jacked. There goes Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. Sorry Butto, you're just gonna have to wait. But it is good, because now I can do my homework and raise my B. Wahoo~!
Damnit, I have a history test tommorow.
In chemistry, we were comparing Mimi with other people. My teacher pointed out that Michael Jordan would probably be a Mimi and a half.
Almost got my hair trimmed, but the place had their little sign with the clock that says "we will return at." Shyeah, so I went there twice and was like "faq!" each time. So I just waited at school until Herb came along.
We did homework. Played Okage. All that good stuff. I didn't play anymore, my dear. But I saved.
I'm going to now find my history book.
Bleh
Headache. Feels like a huge ass hangover. Maybe they spiked my Shirley Temple last night. Right. Blasting techno has either made it better or worse. Can't really tell.
Kicked the Dog!
Booyaka! I'm in the hall! Sat with the booth peeps through the whole show of Dia de los Muertos on headset and listened to their jokes and stuff. It was great. They learned I liked Anime and started tripping out in a good way. Afterwards, they made me help kinda-strike, which I was much obliged to do. Set up a few things, kicked it in the booth for the opera singer (who was my backstage tourguide for Turandot) and her husband. Lance made me release and press the mute button and ride the slider for Alexis' husband. Afterwards, helped strike the set all the way, which only took about 15 mins. Lance offered some opportunities at the Profile Theatre, so he got my phone numbers and said he'd give me a call. I'm so syked. I'd start getting all giddy each time they mentioned tech, especially lights. Reminds of Richard when you say "music" around him.
Also bid on a kick nose caligraphy pen at the silent auction. Miyazaki, Kimiko and I have dubbed it the "SARS pen." If you saw the thing, you'd understand. No one could figure how to put it together, cuz everything just was in pieces. Lance said I was doomed.
Idle Rant
Eeergh! There has to be a use for for stockings with runs, cuz it just sux to have one with a run and no use for the other. And then I had to look through all my drawers for my other ones, to find out they were lurking behind the drawers in their package. And so I put them on and find out that THEY SHINE!!! I can't stand the ones that are all shiny and stuff. Bwaaaaaaaaaahhhh. I was gonna wear pants, but then I remembered my ankle boots are still at school and one of the heels on the knee high boots broke so now I get to wear heels when I don't really WANT TO cuz I'm kicking it in the booth and you just don't really wear heels cuz come on! you're a techie!
I Am So Pathetic
Omigod! I'm reading the end of The Scarlet Letter when |)1|\/||\/|35|)4|_3 |)135 and I'm getting all teary! *sniffles* Awww...Pearl...
*thinks about lights and convulses*
Yessssssssssssszzzsss
Omigod! So I was helping Miyazaki and her parents and some people today with setting up the silent auction for Tears of Joy Theatre in that place that isn't Portland Center Stage, but there-ish and they introduced me to Lance. He gave Miyazaki and me a tour of the catwalk, the elevators, prop room w/ the NEW LIGHT FIXTURES!!! *drools* and various other random places. I'm gonna have a lot to rant about to Pat. Shyeah, Lance is letting me kick it with him in the booth *squeals* and he knows Jen and Demitri (well duh) *squeals again* Yaaay Jen! Yaaay Demitri! *hugs her visions of them*
I'm quite excited.
Ahahahahaha
Just got off the phone with Miyazaki. We were talking about the theatre thing tonight, and she was saying how she could introduce me to Lance, the light guy. And I was all "liiiiights" and I started convulsing.
Shyeah, I just wanted to tell you all.
Wallowing in Misery
...except not really anymore.
Yesterday I played Okage. I will now copy-paste an email I sent, since this all sums up yesterday's Okage session.
I just realized how often I say "chick."
Went to Christian's bday party. Did Mai's Prelude. That took a really long time. 45 mins? One of the arguments we got into was about humans jumping over werewolves. They cannot do that, especially if they are wounded. Watched The Mummy and there were many puns, jokes, and side comments. "I have a plague in my pants, baby."
Took driver's license test. Failed. Hence the wallowing in misery. It was because I ran into a curb when he told me to go up to it or something. Automatic failure. The curb wasn't even really a curb. It was like a mound...of concrete. Yeah. He also said I didn't leave my turn signals on long enough when changing lanes. Dude! He didn't even answer my question before I took the test. I asked him about this funky stoplight I ran into about a week ago and were I should've stopped and he's all "well, I think that's pretty obvious. But I can't really tell you since we're about to start the test." Psh, I swore they could answer any questions before the test. Didn't need it anyways. Whatever. 28 days.
There were insults, blood, and revenge stuffed in Jade's mind, today.
Ah well, Alison failed her license test 5 times, the poor girl. She kept on running reds and stop signs. Hehe.
Winged It Up
Subject is from Herb. Haha.
Morning was shitty. Got grounded cuz I refused to watch a snake-bite video w/ Mom, cuz she hates snakes. So she grounded me from going anywhere and having anyone over until the end of the month. I got really upset because it was totally unreasonable, especially with the fact I do a lot of shiznit, both inside and outside of school. So there were tears, cuz ya know, I'm a teenage girl. Haha, poor Kimiko tried to comfort me. It's really funny when she tries too. Her shoulder was all wet, and she was telling me (later) how in Chemistry she touched it and was all "eeewwww." Hehe. Anyhow, so I got a lot of hugs and tissues passed to me in AP History. Felt much better, and Mom was in a spifftacular by the time school got out.
Pat mocked me today in Tech theatre. He was talking about how if he walked into our rooms, he would know a lot about us. I made a sidecomment about how my room was pink and he's all "yeah, so you want to paint it black now, don't you?" I was all "ooooh..." And then he laughed at me. As Justine said, "Pat mocks us all."
Kicked it with Herb after school. Caught him in time as he was rounding the corner behind the school to my house. I wasn't at my house, since Dad kicked me out at the time cuz he wasn't there. So I met Fred at the corner, and kinda stood there for a minute. I look to my right, and there he was. I could tell by the way he touched his hair. Ha, that amused me. So, we watched part of Pokemon, but it was about Lapras, and I can't stand Lapras. So, played Okage for a bit, but then I died. Heh.
Dropped Herb off somewhere, went to conferences. Wasn't bad. Got a bunch of good things. Revealed to my parents my lost Chemistry book. They were shocked that I didn't tell them. Right. They weren't really mad at the C, cuz they knew I could bring it up, and Ms. Kelly did a good job explaining how only 2 people got an A on the test and about 15 people (including me) failed, not to mention how hard that class is.
It's all good.
Awwwww
Grandparents came by, dropped off some Krispy Kremes. Bwah. Gave them some sausage and sho pao my great-aunt sent. Lola started telling me how she saw my escort yesterday and I was like "...oh him. Yeah." Then I showed my grandma a picture of Raye, Simoney, Herb, and I on the bed during the masquerade. She's all "oooh! he's handsome!" and she bid my grandpa to come closer. He looked at the picture and asked "is that James?" and I nodded. He smiled and said that he was guapo. Ha ha, it was cute.
I have a really bad headache and I don't feel like going to school. But I have to, cuz I really need to turn in the essay and I feel that I can't afford to miss any day of school. I guess I'm under a lot of stress, cuz I find myself eating a lot. It's odd, I'm not even hungry and I can't even eat all of the food. I blame this damn essay.
Tee Hee
I jacked Miyazak's scarf. That was great.
School went by slowly today. I was quite tired, which I blame on Herb. Ha ha. I fell asleep after my math quiz, and I forgot to answer a question and didn't realize it until I set it on my teacher's desk on top of the other quizzes. Ah well.
Almost went to Borders with Kimiko, Helen, Maggie, Alex, D, and Kelilah. But then I didn't. I went home instead. Saiyuki and Rin stopped by. Rin redid her character sheet while Saiyuki did her Prelude. Then Sai started redoing her sheet, cuz she did it wrong. They just left.
Mai's supposed to come, but she's getting pictures with ski team, so she probably can't make it. If everyone goes to Christian's house on Friday, we'll probably roleplay if everyone remembers. Ack. Depending on how my parents feel about my grades, I may or may not go. More like may or may not live.
Essay time!
I Have Some Good News
I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!
Come on, you know you saw that one coming.
Still haven't done the Feds vs Antifeds paper. Grrr...I know I can do it, I just undestimated the time on this Source Criticism "Exercise" for Ethics.
Dad brought me to Walgreens, picked up the pictures from the masquerade and set construction. They turned out pretty well. I'll scan them and put them up tommorow =)
My Mom's cousin, Pat, who's younger than me made a Spanish thing on Costa Rica with some of his friends. It's freaking hilarious! Mom and I couldn't stop laughing. Mai and I am going to take him on.
Always Slacking on Something
Didn't really do much today. I did a lot of homework, and still am doing homework. Maybe it's good we didn't roleplay today- not. Apparently, everyone really wants to actually start, but they gotta haul their asses if they wanna get anywhere, literally. Ah well, I still gotta put down my plot in somewhat tangible words.
Christopher called while I was taking a nap and invited me to go see the Blazers tonight with his cousin. I didn't really want to. I told him I had a lot of work I had to do. He asked if there was anyone else I knew that wanted to come, like a hott chick from SMA. I said no, they probably have a paper or essay due tommorow, which is true. He said that he hoped I would never go back to sleep, and then we said bye and hung up. That was great.
I haven't played the guitar for a really really long time. I'm afraid to pick it up for some reason, just like how I'm afraid to play the piano. I don't know why, I just am. Hm.
I promised myself I would learn how to knit sometime this year. Ha.
Shit, I gotta get Tactics.
Wisdom From Kimiko
"America isn't about magic, like Sea World and Nazi concentration camps...America is about the American Dream. Your hard work will pay off because you are a true American...You can do this Jade. You can conquer and rule over AP US History" - Kimiko
Right Kimiko, right.
I called Herb during lunch in Sci-Fi Fantasy club. We kicked it later. Watched Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh and played Okage. Mmm yeah.
Christopher Is the Greatest
There Chris. I hope you're satisfied.
I'm gonna have to get my act together concerning chemistry and AP US History.
First of all, I hate chemistry. I was first in love with it, but then I started hating it when I couldn't find my chemistry book about a month ago. And I still don't know where it is. Anyhow, that's why I'm so fucking behind in all my chemistry homework. That's why I have a B. Okay, so that's not bad...but I just know I can do better and it makes me aggravated that I'm not able to just because I lost my chemistry book. So I'm going to start catching up tommorow and do extra credit hardcore.
AP US History is driving me insane because I'm trying to write a 700 word essay on the Federalists vs. the Anti-Federalists. The intro's already 179 words. I know what I'm going to say, but some reason it took me a few days to actually start typing. It's already a day late- 10% knocked off my essay's grade. I just feel behind in the class for some reason. I don't know why, but I think it's because my priorities have not been straight concerning homework vs. essays. Like tests, I tackle the easy things first. I have a C in that class. My parents are going to freak out. But my teacher is merciful. I'm going to go to her in the morning and discuss the essay, as well as the class, and what I can do to be more critical of what I'm doing.
I Summon Herb and Miyazaki!
Drove more today. Booyaka! Anyhow, I've decided to share the Script DE MAL DESTINO!!!!!!! from a skit we had to do in Spanish 3 at the beginning of October.
Teacher's note: ¡Muy creativo! ¿Podrían hacer màs sentido de esta situación loca? Podrían desarrollarlo màs.
We needed to put more development? Wtf? It's a tree and a chick! Come on!
This Song Makes Me Want to C-Walk
...in a melancholy sort of way.
Ha, I haven't listened to this song for a while until I was looking through Richard's blog and read his entry about him damning me cuz of the Sneaker Pimps. Or something like that.
Miki and D came over before we went to Lincoln to see the play. We busted it to "Quack Quack" by the Wiggles and "Cat with 2 Heads!" by Aquabats. (One word, right?) Then we saw it. Miki left. Managed to help Liliana(sp?) to get lipstick on Herb for the Techie Parody of Idiot's Delight. Put some lipstick-blush on him, too. I feel slightly guilty for embarrassing him. Ah, but he looked so hott! Purr.
Dad, D, and I stopped at the Krispy Kreme place and ate a few Krispy Kremes. The most we could manage was 2 each. Dropped D off. Dad suggested I drive, since I'm getting my license on Saturday. So I drove home.
Wasn't that just spifftacular?
Success! To the Successful Thistle Sifter!
I don't remember what happened on Tuesday. Kinda sad. Went with Jennifer/Brad and Herb to see the Matrix Revolutions on Wednesday. Lin-sama, Kimiko, and Christian came later. OMG SERAPH!!! I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOOOU!!!! *drools* Too bad he didn't die, then he could've been mine FOREVER. What am I talking about? He is mine.
Mmm Thursday. Watched an Italian opera, Puccini's Turandot, that night. I had seen it when I was younger, and I've always liked it. Except it kinda took a nose dive after Liu died (and ironically, Puccini.) Then it was finished by his student named Franco Alfano. I also pulled an all nighter that night until about 2 am. Tech project, Spanish project, Ethics' devotional outline, and AP US History essay. Didn't do the essay. Herb stayed up also doing his chem lab, I think. Woke up around 5.
Microslept in classes the next day (yesterday.) Kicked it with Herb and his Lincoln posse afterschool. It was spifftacular. Went to the Froshmore dance and saw a bunch of people. It was fun. Floor parties. Kicked 4 couples. Planned to run through a slow dancing herd with this one guy, but we never did. Avoided a couple of people. Met more of Mai's-ish posse. They kicked, sometimes literally. Wore a shirt against school code, so they made me put on a jacket. Like that stayed on.
Went to the college fair today. The people from Beloit and Johns Hopkins know me pretty well. Hehe. As some of you know, my heart is set on Johns Hopkins. The Admissions person, Amy, kicks the dog. Beloit is alright, it's just they're so focused on their own campus and there's no real focus outside of their environment. At least, it seems so. Johns Hopkins just seems more Jade-stylin, even though I was planning to stay on the west coast. Damnit, I can't find Amy's card. I swear I had it.
Going to watch Idiot's Delight tonight. Miki and D are coming. Wahoo~!
So...shyeah...the layout. The content within the blog takes away the focus of the poem. I don't even know why I put it there. Ah well.

"Tourniquet" by Marilyn Manson
