"The Legend of Ashitaka Theme" by Joe Hisashi

You get an obituary, fool.

...Anyhow! Set construction yesterday was spifftacular. My team finished off all of the flats (walls) except one, cuz another group was doing it themselves. We also began making the rock walls out of wood frames, poultry netting (chicken wire,) burlap and a mixture of paint, glue, water & left over sawdust from all the carpetry. Shyeah, that was fun. Hmmmm...I also had to clamp all the flats together from under the platforms (the setting comes apart for the sake of upcoming assemblies and stuff.) That was nice.

Drove mom around. We got some pho, then some coffee later.

Kicked it with Abby while our moms went out. We played with some blue temporary hair dye. *points to streaks she put in this morning* It's so hair sprayish though. Bleh. Ah well. Said hi to a bunch of people on AIM. Abby and I talked, put a poster up, watched part of Footloose and Home Alone. Lent her The Sandman II: The Dolls House and Petshop of Horrors. Took back The Sandman I: Preludes & Nocturnes and borrowed her Princess Mononoke soundtrack. Fell asleep to Animal Planet. Got home around 2.

Woke up at 6:30 am (again) this morning without my bidding. Messed with some "My December" guitar tabs. Tried out Richard's "Duvet" chords.

I want to watch Princess Mononoke again.

Oh, and new layout soon.

Umm...yes

"Another Way" by Paul van Dyk

Marriage of Figaro was pretty funny, though some of the students got confused when people started dressing in each other's clothes. Well, it's expected.

The posters I ordered arrived yesterday. Booyaka! You know what that means, Herb. Hehe.

Watched Underworld this evening with Sci-fi/Fantasy/Anime club...or, at least, 1/4th of them. Oh, and with Herb too I guess. Lin-sama wasn't there, so the spifftacular singing was not present at the time. Then again, neither was Herb's posse. Tsk tsk =P Anyhow, the movie was alright. It didn't suck. But it didn't kick the dog either.

The night was quite charming. I guess I'm not cutting my hair, for which I ultimately blame on Herb for his comment this evening.

Time for a new layout.

Patty called a few nights ago. 2 people told him I wanted his number, so he felt that he needed to call. He thought it was urgent. Dude, all I wanted to say was "bye and good luck." Ah well, it was quite nice. Richard is somewhat here. Apparently a ghost in our (my) conscience. You've been blogging as much as me...or more. Shun and I are keeping in touch, more or less. But everyone else, I dunno.

Oooh....Paul van Dyk

"Say It Ain't So" by Weezer

AP US History today was nice. I busted my Tea Act and Boston Tea Party skillz. Ha, right. Townshend Acts. Apparently, "'Champagne Charley' Townshend, a man who could deliver brilliant speeches in Parliament even while drunk" (The Brief American Pageant, 5th Ed) persuaded Parliament to pass a lot of shiz. Shyeah, wish I had those skillz, too.

Saw Medea by Euripedes at Reed College with my Tech Theatre class (all but 1) and Hon English 10 Sophs. Once again, the (3) Juniors fell prey to Sophomores. (Like in Archery Club, except they were mainly Freshmen.) Anyhow, it was pretty good. Quigley Provost-Landrum, the woman who played Medea, was amazing. Her engines were rarring and everything. Though, the chorus needed a hella lot of work, as well as the music (it sounded like a freaking midi file.) We (my tech class) discussed everything when we got back to school. I think the best part was when she was killing her two sons (yeah, let me defend myself.) You know how Greek plays don't show blood (wahoo! messenger and chorus) so instead this tech crew used a freaky outlandish sound as the chorus was singing/talking. That had to be the best tech effect.

Got a few quotes, all from dear Medea.

"There is no creature more deadly than a woman betrayed."

"The more self-riteously a man can state his case, the more selfish his motives."

"What power does conscience wield compared to rage?"

Anyhow, I'm seeing The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart tonight with a bunch of Hon English peeps and I think a handfull of French peeps. Bwah, Mozart. Apparently, we're going out to dinner tonight, so I'll be gone around 5:30.

The subject is a quote from my mother.

So...Where Was I?

"Undone (The Sweater Song)" by Weezer

Mom and I got the broken string on the guitar replaced. So I'm playing again. Ha, the last time I played 4 years ago and only for a week cuz my fingers hurt a lot and I didn't wanna play piano, or something like that. I don't really care now, though it does hurt a bit to type. Man, I can be pretty weak sometimes. Hn.

Well, I guess Patty left for college today. I was gonna give him a call last night to say bye, but it seems everyone forgot his number. Tsk tsk.

Mai and I got seperated in Spanish 3 class yesterday. So shyeah. Today was long block and our maestra was muy aburrida. She's all "you're all dead today! I'm excited!" and we all just kinda looked at her. Paquita banged her head on the desk, and Hannah (the chick that beats up soccer players on the opposite team who make her irritated) just shook her head. It's not the same with Mai no conmigo. Que triste.

YOU KNOW WHAT BRONWEN?!?!?! I see how it is. Yelling at me after we passed each other in the halls about how you read my blog and ARE REFUSING TO TAG MY TAG-BOARD. Psh.

Damn guitar's too addicting, I'm not getting any work done. I blame this one on Richard (for the first time.) I think I'll write an obituary for him (thanks to Herb's advice) even though I really don't think he's dead.

Not Much Really

"Push It" by Garbage

Looking back on the list from Saturday the 20th, I finished some stuff. Wahoo~! Finished all my homework, caught up on AP history, and finished one of my fanlistings (Penny Arcade) that I did with Kimiko. Didn't get to go to the DMV today or fix the guitar cuz Mom and I were busy doing stuff at home. We're gonna do it tommorow. So I just have to call my contact people, finish the invites and make a new layout. Not bad.

This Entry's for You, Bronwen

"Mr Roboto" by the Styx

Wow Bronwen, how could you actually stand reading my archives? Shyeah, I just read through them all. My earlier entries were so blunt. It was so blah. Tee hee. I don't know how I couldn't see through the Blueberry Muffin. Thanks for supporting me =P It makes me want to take his moose back (it was such a cute moose!) but then again, I still have his ring. *melts his ring* ha! not anymore!

So yeah, I guess a lot of things have changed about me over the 1.5 years or so. Of course, some things remain the same. I still can't figure out when I lost my innocence though. Or maybe I still have it *shrugs* You tell me, you seem better at seeing things than I can see in my self. So many memories, it blows my mind. I saw all the things that I left behind, and those that I've held on to. Ah, at least my blog isn't pure angst or pure happiness. It's nice.

It amuses me how you saw my stubborn streak with the kite...and laughed. Hehe, well shyeah. The only reason I go to the beach is for flying kites. No, I don't like long walks on the beach, or standing in the waves. I just like the kite aspect.

Broke My Paradigm
Sunday, September 21, 10:28 pm
"White Flag" by Dido

Went to the father-daughter dance. It's been my third year. Brought my dad and grandfather. It was spifftacular, though I'm still sick. Meeeeeeeh.

Figured out Bronwen reads my blog. Like hardcore-reads-my-blog. She doesn't check it every hour like Chris does (tee hee,) but she's read all my archives and checks as much as Herb, maybe even more. Wow, I admire...ummm...her persistance? TAG BRONWEN!!! TAG IT!!!

Kimiko broke Lindsay and my paradigm by ripping a Kleenex holder off the wall in the bathroom. Shoujo shoujo has gone wicked...well, more wicked than usual. Lin-sama and I were hyperventilating.

Jacked 18 people's nametags and stuck them on my skirt. I'll scan a picture in about a month when we get them. It was beautiful.

"Secret Agent Man" by the Toasters

Happy happy happy happy happy birthday, Herb!!! *ritualistically burns down 16 trees!* I don't feel the need to reiterate, but I will anyways! Lindsay gives you a happy birthday smack (probably somewhere on the stomach or the side!) Helen says "happy birthday, Herbicide!" and Kimiko sends a "happy birthday" with an intimidating look! Oh, I made a thing for you cuz I'm REALLY HIGH ON SOMETHING BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I DOUBT I REALLY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cuz I'm just like that!

It screams Herb in every way

Ah, and please tell Amy that she's more spiff than a lighter!

"3 Libras" by A Perfect Circle

I think I caught a cold or something. Nyu...Maybe it's good that I don't see Herb for a week. Soy una pobrecita. Que triste. *sneezes* 'scuse me. So I stayed in bed all day (except for set construction) and decided not to party tonight. I felt relatively bad. Ah well.

Shyeah, set construction. From 9 to 4. We built stuff. My group made a doorway, a window thing, and covered some flats/walls. Libby was telling me how she never spent so much time with me in our Frosh and Soph year than in the past two weeks of set construction. Well, yes, that's quite true.

I was thinking about all the people I haven't talked to in a while. I know Patty's leaving for college on the 29th. Travis is being Travis. I have no idea what happened to Richard. Mike's probably doing his thing in New Jersey. The great Slauro I'm sure is kicking the dog. I just emailed Shun, he should be back in Colorado. Gabo and Glady are singing their hearts out in Italy. Thalia hasn't written back or anything, but I know she's busy. I really should call Raye and kick it with her. I'm still staying in touch, more or less, with others. I don't think I forgot anyone...

Besides find out the status of all the people listed above, I must:

- finish schoolwork
- call DMV for license
- catch up with AP History
- inquire about my set of incoming contacts
- finish those 2 fanlistings
- finish the invitations for the masquerade thing
- fix our guitar
- make a new layout for this blog

So much to do in the course of a three day weekend. Alas, my cold deters me.

It's a Pencil

Fallen (Evanescence cd)

Today was quite interesting. Had a spiteful thing going on with Mom this morning, and got grounded for a week cuz I lost a fucking check. Whoo~ Bwah, she called me an "irresponsible child." Come on, it was a human mistake. I combed through the halls and staff during each lunch and break for the past several days. It's not like I'm not responsible, cuz I fucking am. I just fucking slip at times. Doesn't everyone? I'm sorry, maybe I'm just being a teenager, but it's not that bad. I mean, I'm paying the $90, not going anywhere for, not having anyone over, not getting my license on Monday, and not seeing Herb for a week. 5ux0rz. So I was in a trippy mood when I got to school. After I got home, I wouldn't speak to Mom directly for a few hours. But Claire, Mom's friend, was over so Mom was in a spifftaculary mood. Then we cooked and talked. Mom apologized. Booyaka! Conversational skillz. She said I could get my license, but I was still grounded.

Anyhow, so Nicole (Claire's daughter) came over and we rationalized the parents vs. children thing more or less. Talked about a lot of stuff, which ranges from religion to a bunch of other stuff.

oh, Herb, Kimiko has your bday present. But I think I already told you that. It's alive, tee hee.

Had my cigarette looking pencil at school today. My peers were tripping out cuz they thought it was real. But it wasn't. Emeril hit me cuz she just came from Health class and said "I don't want you coughing up phlegm!" So Helen and I pretended to cough up phlegm. It was great.

"Relations (DJ Dynamite and DJ Danny remix)" by Erika

Did this trippy thing in Ethics today. It had to do with this thing that was researched at Cambridge University. It was called the "phaomneil pweor of the hmuan mnid." It was a paragraph in jumbled letters saying if the first and last letter of the word were in place with the middle letters scrambled, it'd read just as easy as it would normally. So we'll test it right now. Though, some of the words aren't jumbled. Hehe.

Mai was scik tdoay, so Sinapsh 3 lacekd wtuihot her. Siltl, the Feershmn and Megan aumsed me the wlohe tmie. I claled Mai up, but she ins't home. Sseadns.

Okay. Yeah. It's cold.

Bunch of friends met Herb yesterday. Wahoo! Shyeah...Herbicide. Beautiful, Helen, purely beautiful. Junior College Night last night (bwah) as well. That was interesting. PSAT, PPSAT, SAT, SATII, and ACT. *cries*

Doing things with Totoro aka: Ali today. Finding some sealing wax, a stamp, and some kick ass paper. Trying to figure out what she's doing wrong with PayPal.

Sorry for messing up the dates, Chris. *pat pat* I'm sure you'll live.

"Aisle 10" by Scapegoat Wax

Sunday. Kimiko and I saw Cabin Fever. It was just no. But no in a laugh-cuz-wtf? Scared Colin again and met some of his people that were all "ah, so this is your fanclub" and he's all "yeah, except I guess there are 16 and a half members?" "...and a half?" "I guess so." Went home, watched most of Spirited Away. Kimiko went home, I slept.

Monday. Herb walked me home. Parents gave us a silly talk, that I guess isn't really silly, but for some reason it translates to silly cuz of some of the things I've done in the past...yeeeeeaaaah....anyhow, that was nice. Did homework w/ him, then brought him home. Ate dinner at a Cuban restaurant which had a kick ass patio. Went to Walgreens. Went home, dropped of Dad. Went with Mom to OHSU and read some history, but not cuz the vapors of the swimming pool were all warm and making me sleepy. Went home, finally ordered those posters I wanted. Figured out it was 3-7 days when I swear I saw 24 hours. But cualquier. I slept.

Tuesday. I took a shower. And that is all.

Ay.

"Fine Again" by Seether

I feel very restless. I finished most of my homework. I still have to do a hermeneutic for Ethics, a pre-lab worksheet for Chemistry, and a paragraph for Hon English.

I feel like taking a walk, but I can't really at this moment. I'm kinda at a loss.

I feel like I should be getting high right now. But the thing is, I don't get high.

Dustpan on a Stick
Saturday, September 13, 7:30 pm
"One Is the Lonliest Number" by Three Dog Night

Went to set construction from 9 am to 3:40 pm for "Dancing At Lugnasa." Shyeah, it was great. I realized how very weak some of the girls are physically. It made me quirk an eyebrow. But then again I shouldn't be judging. Anyhow, we brought up wood from the Pit of Despair aka: the Orchestra Pit to the stage. Then we proceeded to measure, cut, and label. Afterwards we moved all the wood to sweep and mop the stage. Pat made me turn off the lights..."Since you guys were playing with lights yesterday, Olivia and Jade turn off the lights and the light board" and he walked out of the auditorium. Olivia was vacuuming, so I went. I got somewhat confused after the first few successful buttons so Jessica, our Stage Manager, had to walk me through it. Shyeah, it was nice. I love lights.

Mai called and we talked about the masquerade parteh. We need more guys. Right now our estimated ratio for girls to guys is 2:1. Beautiful, eh? She's supposed to call back, but I learned that she often forgets. So I leave it at that.

Subject is from Lauren, who kept on saying "Dustpan on a stick" because...well...she had a dustpan on a stick.

Yesterday's subject is from this strip of Penny-Arcade. Yes...that is so Kimiko and Me. Kimiko being Tycho and me being Gabe. It's kinda scary, but it's the truth. Anyhow, I printed it last year and somehow ended up printing out 50. I handed it out to misc. people in the hallways, but I still have many more left. Hehe. Lin-sama's gonna say that beautiful phrase "you paid for the whole seat but you'll only need the edge" on announcements for Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Anime club. Though I think she revised it to "we saved you the whole seat." Meh, details. Yes yes.

You Paid for the Whole Seat But You'll Only Need the Edge

"Walking Zero" by Sneaker Pimps

AP US History was the longest class I can remember. We talked about DBQ (Document Based Question) essays. I left with a headache that lasted for a few hours. No...just no.

Got home, did chores, helped Mom cook for my Dad's friend's bachelor's party which is going on right now on the patio and deck. *insert break* One of the people needed help with his contacts. Hehe, shyeah.

My voice hurts like a bitch. Probably because I kept talking today because of a bunch of presentations and class discussions and crazy phone calls. The stage manager for my school's fall play and made sure I'm taking part in set construction. I sold my soul once again because I volunteered for all day fun. Kimiko called 5 mins after that. I thought she'd be Mai cuz Mai was supposed to call. But she hasn't. Then Herb called. Shyeah.

mmm...Lemon ginger tea.

...Ya Know?

"the New Zero" by Rasputina

*cries* I have my devotional presentation on human dignity for human ethics first thing in the morning! Bwaaaaaah. But mmm...fire.

Mom started tripping out last night cuz there was apparently too much clothes in the washer. They happened to be towels, which get very heavy when wet. It was on high spin, so ya know, it was kinda rocking the washer itself. Hehe. Well, I wouldn't be surprised that she'd trip out. Seeing I ruined the laundry one time when I was 8 (I don't think I read the tag on one of the shirts,) and she said I could never do the laundry again. Ha. Weird request for a daughter.

My parents have a thing with never.

Kimiko and I made up phrases yesterday. Ah shyeah.

Introduced Herb to my Spanish 2 teacher from last year. Bwah, there's gonna be interrogations from chicks when I get back to school. News spreads like wildfire. Then we went for coffee and did homework. Somewhat. I blame it on you, Herb. =P

Another fanlisting to create. Two, actually.

"Duvet (Acoustic)" by BoA

School was long as usual, but it gave me time to let my anger simmer down. Herb walked me home and stuff. Now, I'm happy.

He didn't believe me when I said that I didn't post that comment- which I find interesting. Ah well. Apparently, he reads my blog often too and tried to comment. But didn't succesfully for some reason. Hehe. Well, so it's Chris and Herb. Except Chris comments =P

Angry Rant

"Points of Authority" by Linkin Park

Alright, so I think none of you will understanding what I'm talking about, but I need to let off some steam. And if you know me, this is where I'll do it.

Ha, there goes all the rules in my fanlistings.

Take a deep breathe.

Herb and his fucking livejournal with it's fucking anonymous shit and why do so many fucking people assume that I wrote that fucking comment when I wouldn't cuz it isn't even my fucking style. I'm not the only bitch that's wandering around on anonymous which I FUCKING WOULDN'T BE BUT I KIND OF HAVE TO. I'm fucking sorry I just don't sign my bloody name in every bastard's journal (I read other's beside my own bf's ya know.) He should fucking know his damn girlfriend well enough to fucking understand that she would never say anything like that fucking idiotic phrase. Grrr....I haven't felt this fucking angry for a long time my hands are fucking shaking and I want to fucking slap him. I fucking told him that I wasn't the one who put that there when he asked me and I fucking thought he heard me but I GUESS NOT cuz he's a fucking guy. Fucking typical. I want to fucking throw up.

If you heard me in real life angry, yeah, I do put fucking in every phrase.

Yes, I'm very angry.

"I'm Scared" by Bad Credit

Lunch was quite productive. Mailed letters to Thalia and Chris. Got coffee and a pastry at Seattle's Best cuz it was raining (rain makes me want something warm.) Visited the school's ministry for some service stuff and the counselors for my PLAN scores. Went back to Junior hall and tried to sleep, which was not very successful.

Stayed afterschool and did all my huge ass book homework. Annoyed Kimiko to utter oblivian just by staring at her. Hehe. She laughed at me for giving my ethic's book, The Good Life by Richard Gula, a soundtrack.

Oh yeah, Marine-Guy's real name is Billy. Thanks to Saiyuki's deadjournal for enlightening me.

Well Chris, I think you're the only one who reads my blog regularly. I admire your...umm...charisma?

There Are No Pancakes Downtown
Sunday, September 7, 4:34 pm
"Someday" by Nickelback

Suddenly woke up this morning at exactly 3:33 am. I checked my email and replied to Herb's. Watched the rain for a while. Went to sleep again and woke up at 9:26. Replied to Herb's email again cuz I didn't remember what I said. Hehe.

Dad and I drove to 3 different churches looking for a good mass time. Went to mass. Went around downtown looking for a place to eat pancakes. I told them there weren't any, which is true so far. So we stopped at Ken's Artisan Bakery in NW. I ate a peach thingy with a cup of milk. Dad had coffee and a funky spinach thing. It was nice.

Got home, did some ethics homework. Still haven't finished that essay. It's only minimum 200 words, so I'm not worried. I'm racking my brain for thoughts on utilitarianism and if the society of Omelas was ethical. I think not, but I don't know how to support myself enough w/o bluntly saying "they screwed with the kid." Okay okay, so I said "In “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” a child is established as “the action” that generates happiness to others while the child itself is in utter social and psychological despair." Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I know I'll think of something by 6 o'clock.

I noticed Chris' little note in my tag-board =P Well, now I know someone's reading this. It'd be nice to know who else is reading my blog *cough*

"Dosed" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Parents bought a flatscreen plasma tv. It's nice. I named it Lewis. It is now in our living room downstairs. I had to help father carry it. It was fucking heavy. It's big, and it's flat. We'll be mounting it on the wall in about a week. I pray it won't fall in the middle of Fatal Frame while I battle with Kirie. *continues to muse over Resident Snap*

Shyeah...Andrew the GBA SP, Paul the kick ass teapot, and Lewis the flatscreen plasma. This is what happens when you have no pets (with the exception of my paper dog, X.) I kinda wonder why I name objects after guys. Maybe cuz they're usually given a feminine disposition.

Got another fanlisting up. It's for the song "Dig Ophelia" by Rasputina. You should go join or something.

Almost done with homework. I still have to write an outline for my devotional and write a short essay on The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula Le Guin. She's a local writer (to us Oregonians.) I read her Earthsea books 2 summers ago. They were very good. Left me banging my head on my desk. Anyhow, she got "Omelas" from Salem, Oregon. Isn't that just special? She has another book out that I have yet to look for.

Still wearing that crazy jester hat of mine. Mom jokes that it's my brain. Ha.

Hey Chris, if you're reading this, I think you'd like this song. But, knowing you, you've probably already heard it.

AAAAAHHHH!!! I need to go out or I'm going to go insane more than I already am. Hmmm, I have a gift certificate to Borders...tee hee.

Origin (Evanescence)

Bleh. Junior year. This has been one grueling week. The workload drags me down, and I know it's going to get worse as the year goes on. My sanity, my sanity. I'm looking forward to gazing upon my "happy page" in my history journal.

Well, I brought up Quill Driving again. New layout and rewrote some stuff. Nothing much I guess.

Today is one of those days I just don't want to be here.

Maybe it's the music.

Maybe Nero just needs to go to hell.

Not that he isn't going to anyways.

I think he'd hate it in heaven more.

Not that he cares.

Skimming through my Origin songs. It's the first Evanescence cd that was released, and is now out of print. It's alright. I think I'll burn it.

Wearing my jester hat. It makes me feel better. Maybe I should've put a picture of it in my happy page. Well, no, cuz I ran out of room. Hehe.

Subject...we (as in my Hon English class) learned yesterday that the "..." used to skip unwanted parts in quotes now have brackets [ ] around them. Apparently, MLA put it in their code thingy two years ago. Anyhow, I couldn't think of a subject. So there it is.

My legs...

"First Time" by Finger Eleven

Just got back from the Evanescence concert. D, Mai, and Saiyuki went with me. Met with Herb there. Saw Risa and Chris later. Finger Eleven was one of the opening peeps. They kicked...well, shyeah. They're a good group (in my opinion.) Abby/Murakai likes them a lot. I made Saiyuki tear down a paper thingy with them on it for her. Revis was pretty good. Cold was bustin it. Evanescence was great. Dude, I'm so tired.

Played Soul Calibur II. There was this guy that was giving away shirts that said "Nintendo Fusion" to people that could answer his gaming questions. Shyeah...none of us faired too well on that. We couldn't even answer his damn Pokemon questions (What is my favorite Pokemon and What are Brock's Five Pokemon?)

On the other hand, Risa and Chris were quite lucky. They saw Evanescence while they were playing downstairs. They got autographs and a backstage tour. *envyenvyenvyenvyenvy*

Met Marine-Guy. No one knows/remembers his real name. Hehe, he asked for Sai's number.

Gave my last black ribbon to Herb. The only type of that ribbon out of the other two that I gave to Jason and Ms. Deemer. Bwah, I have that velvet choker I need to repair.

Making 2 new fanlists. Tee hee.

Alright, I sleep now.

"Think Twice" by Eve 6

First day of school. Ha. Ethics was the usual. La maestra en Espanol 3 was really cute! Adv. Algebra/Trig was alright. Chemistry made me laugh. AP US History was somewhat threatening. Hon English was non-sequitor. Tech Theatre was Pat-eriffic.

Resident Snapped it (Fatal Frame) with Kimiko, Mai, Christian, and Herb. Damn you Folklorist...though I can't really damn you to hell. Man, I'm missing Momo and Mario's ness.

Subject is to torture Kimiko with. Shyeah, my crazy dreams pass on once again.

Dressed as Miku from Fatal Frame this morning. It was fun, but the hair got on my nerves (I folded it under in a part bun.) But then I changed again cuz I have parteh at my aunts.

I'm gonna go party now. Knowing my family, I won't be home until late. Hehehe.

Shyeah, was watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone with Abby, and we were making fun of stuff. I said I wanted to be Harry Potter's wand during the wand shop scene. Shyeah, I don't even know where that came from. She was all "Duuude, you gotta put that on your blog." So here it is.

Saw Warriors of the Zodiac. We couldn't stop laughing there either.

Yes, there is a lot of laughter here.

I lie only for you. And I lie well.

"The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" by Brand New

Good song. It's addicting. It makes me not want to do anything. Not like being lazy or anything. More like just sit there and wait for something. Anything. But then, ya know, nothing really comes and you're stuck listening to the song and the cars zoom past through the open window.

Uninstalled AIM last night. Shyeah, remember? I'm grounded. Forever. Well, I guess until I'm 18. Mom started catching onto my AIMness, so I uninstalled it again because I'm a good daughter *cough*. Right. Relatively, I am.

Talked to Kelilah. We talked about Hebrew stuff. Mainly about "Seraph/Seraphim" and she was saying how this one rabbi said Ezekiel must've been high on something (Ezekiel 1:4-14.) Shyeah, pretty trippy vision. I asked her cuz I want to name my daughter Seraphim, and I looked it up in encyclopedia.com and it said that it was based on the word "to burn" (Seraph) in Hebrew. Ah, about 10 more years anyway. Talked to Herb for a few hours last night. Such a sweetheart. He called even though he's anti-phone, hehehehe.

Got a new link buddy, Noir. Mmm...black in french. (Hahahahaha Herb.) Anyhow, she said I had "great content" which is flattering, because it's a blog. So I agreed to link her.

"Tourniquet" by Marilyn Manson

Shyeah...Marilyn Manson. I have the remake by Rasputina. I like both of them. I didn't feel like listening to Rasputina's version, as cool as it is. Marilyn Manson kinda busts it. I love the guitar in this song.

Got two fanlistings up. Rapidash Fanlisting is on geocities. It took me a while to make it cuz I don't have Dicer on this computer. Wedding Dress Fanlisting is hosted by HF Dot Net, which also hosted Past Visions. Anyhow, the previous owner emailed the members, saying how she was closing it down and if anyone wanted it. I emailed back saying I was interested, giving reasons and such. She said yes to me. So now I have it.

Didn't do much today. Sat around. Read out of the book that crazy AP History is making me read 10 chapters of before school starts (on a pseudo-short notice as well.) Wow, Columbus, I didn't know you sucked that much.

It Would Get Your Yeah On.

"Lies" by Evanescence

Went to a wedding. Here's a pic of me and my grandparents. Shyeah, my uncle and his pictures.

click to enlarge.  Whoo~!

Went to Canada from Sunday to Tuesday on a quest for the elusive fruit, Lanzones. Forrealz. Let's see, short summary time. Went to Tacoma, looked at Chihuli glass. Crossed the border. Ate dinner at a Chinese place. Slept. Ate breakfast. Went to Granville (?) to the market. Bought a bunch of fruit (tub of champagne grapes, tub of reineer cherries, tub of black cherries, 2 atis.) No Lanzones there. Went around China Town in Vancouver (I think) found Lanzones. Parents bought a tub. Met up with grandparents. They bought four. Went to dinner Filipino style at a place called Galing-Galing (Good good.) I had ginataan, nilaga, rice, and lechon. Was very full. Slept. Ate Filipino style again the next morning at Goldilocks. Had a calamansi slurpee and speghetti. Even the speghetti was Filipino. No, it was not pansit. Ate most of the fruit. 10 yards before the border. Still had cherries. Ran across to the bathrooms, threw it away (didn't want to get fined.) Ran back. Crossed the border. Lola/Grandma snuck by some lanzones. Hehe.

Got home around 9:30. Around 9:42...
Dad: ummm...Jade? Sarah's on the patio.
Me: What? *looks* Sarah! What are you doing here? What are you high on?

So Patty, Sarah, and I kicked it until midnight. I slept around 1:30. Woke up around 7. Went to registration. Saw people. Got a lot of hugs and stuff. Saw Herb. Kicked it with Herb. He's such a sweetheart.

Short Summary.

"Get It Faster" by Jimmy Eat World

Went to Mai's surprise bday party. It was fun. Lindsay, Kimiko, and Saiyuki were there. We met a bunch of Freshmen (now will be Sophomores.) Shyeah, most of them were alright. Played pool, which I haven't done in a long ass time. I used to play a few years back. Dad use to play with me every other night. He taught me all the tricks, all the angles. We'd stay up at night playing pool. Then we just stopped. Later, we moved and didn't bring the pool table. Anyhow, I started getting the rust off. Sunk 11 balls with Sora. But I hate stripes and solids.

Went to Alpine Slide amusement park place. Shyeah, that was pretty fun. I wanted to go really fast on the slide, but there'd always be someone more or less slow. I did that twice. Bwaaaaaaah. Played mini-golf with Lindsay and Kimiko. Yep, I sucked at that. I did all 3 bungee type rides- the original bungee, the one where they take you up from the ground (Rapid Rider,) and the one where you go across (the Zipper.) The Zipper was kinda uneventful. Did the go-karts twice. First time, Mai was rooting for me from the outside, and I was turning "what'd you say?" and got stuck on a curb. Apparently, Mai and Kimiko made a bet against each other...who would win? Lin-sama or Hisui? Exactly. So Lindsay passed me and I was all "sure, whatever." And went on. If I knew they bet, I would've made more of an effort. So Kimiko won $2. Second time, Mai begged the guys at the track to let her friends in (only 7 could though) so we got the last ride. They were all like "if you crash into each other, or even touch each other, you're all exiled! Because we wanna go home." One of the guy's kept on dissing SMA, I was on the edge of telling him he could go to hell, but I hesitated on the word hell. Another guy said I could go ahead and say it, and he finished the sentence for me. Anyhow, Mai was really slow though. Tsk tsk. We gave them all hugs in gratitude. Aww..there was one guy I thought was cute. His name was Chris. He helped me off the Zipper. Haha, that sounds wrong.

Went back to the cabin, checked out their huge ass horoscope book on my bday (May 4.) Shyeah, it was interesting. It highlighted that I'm too self-giving and too self-denying. I loved being home, I had a severe temper (but a lot of patience,) and other stuff. I just shrugged. It told me my meditation was "only the painting feels no desire."

Watched One Thousand Corpses, which was directed (and written?) by Rob Zombie. It was somewhat disturbing. Kimiko and I tried to compile our thoughts in the end. It tried to freak us out, but for some reason it didn't really. We just kinda laughed, though we weren't supposed to. Now when we laugh, it's not out of fright. It's cuz we make stupid jokes and point out stupid things. Which makes the ambience all the better. Oh shyeah.

Played Pokemon with Lin-sama and Saiyuki until 3:24 am. Kimiko said she was reading the same sentence over and over in the Sandman (The Doll's House) cuz we kept on talking. Hehe. They also hooked up the Nintendo. Saiyuki and I fell asleep around 3:30. I had a funky dream and I woke up at 7:38. Went to sleep again and woke up at 11.

Everyone went for a walk. We passed by a vending machine with a bunch of bumper and windshield stickers on it. There was one that said "Happy Magazine" and Kimiko said "oooh...we gotta put that one our locker." So we painfully tore it off and ran. Now it's sitting on top of rabbit, run by John Updike.

Got home, helped prepare for Abby's parent's 25th aniversary dinner party. Got dressed, somewhat waiter stylin. Gave the guests plates, drinks, and food along with Katie and Abby/Murakai. There was a lot of food. The guests were overwhelmed. Hehe. Mixed Margaritas and stuff (that was popular.) They got dancing lessons, we cleaned the kitchen (Cuz we actually wanted to.) Had cake. Katie and her mom went home. Abby and I got drunk (well, I did.) Watched a bunch of AMVs. Slept.

I forgot to give Patty's present to Mai. Whoops, sorry great Patlord. I'll mail it to her.

The world's stealing our cool.

"Ride On Shooting Star (from Furi Kuri/FLCL)" by the Pillows

Nothing really special today. Jogged this morning, took a shower, ate food, grocery shopped w/ Mom, cleaned the house- all dotted with Pokemon here and there. I challenged Saiyuki to a Pokemon battle. We'll see who kicks ass tommorow. Booyaka! She's going down!

This song kicks. It's from that crazy, but really good coming-of-age Anime, Furi Kuri/Fooly Cooly/FLCL. Shyeah, it's one of my "bounce off the wall songs," though I'm too tired to bounce in any way right now. Yes, it's beautiful.

I don't know where the hell Kimiko is. We're supposed to go to friend's surprise birthday tommorow morning, but she hasn't answered or returned any of my calls. I left her two messages. Patty hasn't been able to get a hold of her either. Ay nako...

They've given you a number and taken away your name.

"Secret Agent Man" by the Toasters

Tired of all the serious shit? Well, here's a crazy rant just for you, my dear fans.

I WANNA BECOME A MASTER AND GO TO ANOTHER POKEMON CON LIKE I DID 6 YEARS AGO AND MEET A REALLY HOTT GUY THAT KICKS ASS IN POKEMON BUT I'M GONNA BEAT ANYWAYS AND I'M GONNA KICK ALL THOSE LITTLE 12 YEAR OLDS WHO THINK THEY CAN BEAT ME AND I'M GONNA BE A POKEMON MASTER!!!! AAAAHHH!!!!

Inspired by Andrew (my Gameboy SP) and Travis (somehow) who told me afterwards that I needed a drink. Which I did. Anyhow, about 6 (or 4) years ago, my parents took me to Washington Square Mall at this pokemon convention thing. So shyeah, I battled with my level 100 team (I innocently leveled up with rare candies and of which I didn't know the consequence) and had a few victories. There was this one guy who I battled. He looked like Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing, so shyeah, he was really hott. Anyhow, he kicked my ass with his level 100 Mewtwo that was probably authentic and painfully trained to the highest. Not.

Shyeah, I had a Venusaur named Salad Bar.

Of Course.

"Androgyny" by Garbage

Made a page for Abby. She goes by Murakai on the wired now. Hehe, indeed...the page is quite...umm...simple. Ahahahahaha.

Didn't really do much today. Did more house cleaning. But you know me, I kinda like doing it when it's just me. I took a nap for an hour, but didn't really sleep because people kept on calling on the phone every 10 mins. It was driving me insane.

I talked Dan (not from Gamestop, a different one who lives in Salem) into going on a roadtrip with me next summer. Shyeah, destination San Francisco. Why? I have no idea. I just felt like it. So, we're currently trying to plan it.

This layout's getting on my nerves for some reason. I don't know, it feels like the focus is too scattered or something. I think it's the words.

Ah: runs. Runs.

"Moi Lolita" by Alizee

New layout cuz one of my friend's were asking me why I didn't do any graphic shiz on my layouts...or something like that. So I hope you're happy, Richard.

I still suck at blog layouts. I've always sucked at blog layouts. The only one I was really pleased with was Joan from War of Genesis (Aug 8 - Aug 19 2002.) My blogging style back then seems different. Perhaps a bit more...malikut. Anyhow, no more comment thingies. Everyone mostly uses the tagboard, so why bother?

Today, today...I finished Rabbit, Run by John Updike. The subject consists of the last words of the book. All I can say is "wow." Like it says on the back of the book, "Updike's punch is powerful" (from Newsweek.) When I called to reserve it about a week ago, the first thing the girl on the phone said was "I hate that book." I can see why...it's not the most happy and hopeful book in the world. Nevertheless, I liked it, and writing the research paper on that book will be quite interesting. There's another one I want to read- The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. My friend, Kelilah, says it's freaky. I don't really know how, but then again...she's Kelilah.

Kimiko called me up today. She wanted to kick it...but not (?) Shyeah, she needs to come and get her birthday present WHICH I WRAPPED SO WELL AND BEAUTIFULLY cuz it's taking up space, along with Abby's and Mai's. Sometime in the conversation she called me a chicken hawk and I called her an emo jellyfish. Shyeah, I don't know where it came from.

Did laundry today. Doing the laundry has always made me happy for some reason. The thing I least like doing is sorting. I always get confused. Well, not always...just once in a while.

June 22 - August 10
