>.<

Geez, Alina's ahead on post counts. *shakes fist* YOU STILL ON VACATION YOU.

Well, Vivian's Mean Girls party was yesterday, and I was so happy to see everybody again! =D We did manage to stuff gelato down Trev's and Lloyd's throat, which was fun. xD Since Lloyd refused to have any initially, we gave him more. >=D After gelato, Alina sat in front of them and tried to get them to eat her mutant reject cookies. xD Heehee. We also spent a lot of time dodging Lloyd's camera. =="""""

BAHAHA. MISSION COMPLETE.

Ah, yes. We have successfully forcefed Trev everything on our list. Mostly.

Anyways, I'm just listening to WINGS and Time After Time on loop...over and over...and over...it never gets old :D. I just got back from Viv's party. It was great. We should do it again some other day.

Anyways, starting in the morning. I woke up to find out that my dad ate a bunch of the cookies I was going to bring to the party. >< Then I had piano lessons. It went pretty well, considering I hadn't practiced since we went to Santa Cruz for camping...possibly longer >>. My teacher was pretty nice about it. I have to remember to bring pictures for her next week. My dad dropped us off at Viv's apartment. It was pretty small, but nice and cozy. I like it, Viv :D. We just played around for a while as people steadily arrived. We watched Mean Girls. I've watched half of it at a friend's house. The whole thing was great xD. Absolutely hilarious. Trev arrived somewhere in the middle and found his box of ginger cookies. The ones I made were M&M, and I thought the M&Ms would break his teeth again. >> Turns out I ended up forcefeeding him both. My cousin, Susan and I had a great time talking about school, sports, etc etc etc. Everyone else started playing pokemon cards, except for Alex. He kept watching different versions of Numa Numa. Then Quad brought out this board game, and everyone except for my cousin, Lloyd, Trev and I played. My cousin and I served out Freshmint and Triple Espresso Gelato. Hopefully everyone loved it. After that we fooled around with my Leaf Green game for a while. Sadly, Lloyd and Trev actually managed to snap a few pictures of me. P's mom came to pick us up, and we left. I yelled goodbye the whole way down. And threatened to brick people's windows if they stopped visiting the forums again. >D

Anyways, I hope to see everyone again soon. It was great. This time I swear to drag Connie along. No matter how many Asian gatherings she has. >O

M&M cookies, and your TA wearing slacks and a bowtie on stage. What more could someone ask for?

Anyways, a lot happened today (SUSPENSE) so I'll start from the beginning.

MORNING:
Our first Leadership meeting of the year. It even happened before school started. ==" I almost slept past it because my alarm didn't go off, but Connie called me. Anyways, it wasn't too bad, I guess. The teachers are fun. It wasn't like, if you laughed you get kicked out of the classroom to go cry in a dark corner. We threw a beach ball at each other, and whoever got it had to introduce themselves. We had to tell everyone what we wanted to be called at meetings (thankfully everyone used their real names), and then we had to say what our favorite thing was over the summer. Guess what I picked? =) We talked about how we had to help out the sixth graders at Orientation day (we have to stay there THE ENTIRE TIME).

AFTERNOON:
Connie and I...BAKED COOKIES 8DDD. We were kind of lazy at first, because we thought there was a lot of time until we had to leave. I was making a double batch, so making the mix was pretty fugly. But eventually all the little bits of butter melted. All good, right? Not really. The kinds of cookies I make are really thin and crunchy, but they were so thin that they wouldn't come off the pans in one piece. The first batch was all broken reject cookies. We tried making the cookies smaller and thicker, and they, like, wouldn't bake on the inside. A little better, but still mostly reject. Eventually I just started cutting the cookies off the pans with a steak knife, which added, like, 298342893 more scratches to the pans. Tansen's friends came over in the middle, and Trent, like, totally mauled my cookies. )x At least he asked though...Tansen took my Gobstoppers without asking...that ho...I so gave him rabies though...In the middle of cookie-wrestling, Connie and I suddenly realized how fast the clock was going, so we were, like, panicking because there was so much dough left. In the end we -barely- finished on time. We cleaned up really quick, and I sprinted to the BART station.

EVENING:
I haven't run that hard since the track season ended. I think I made it on time though, more or less. When I got to Lloyd's office, Tansen was on a computer in Pokechat, and Lloyd had his laptop on a webcam or something with Max. I was like WTF HE CAN SEE ME and I ran outside to hide. Anyways >> We met Kass and Spark outside. Kass drives one of those key-less Hybrids. Hybrids rock, man. Way to go, Kass. It turns out the restaurant we were going to was, like, a minute away from my house. I couldn't believe I sprinted, like, a mile. I ordered spa...ghetti...I think that's how you spell it. Tansen and I argued over how many $20 bills he was carrying...I so owned his ass...

After that, Kass dropped me off at my house to pick up cookies and camera...I ran out with bags of cookies for Kass and Spark, and some for Ulysses (Kass, Spark, and Ulysses aren't going to tomorrow's party...I bet Lloyd was like, 'None for me?' x.x Sowwie, Lloyd) and a bowl of broken reject cookies to eat in the car. Then I had to run back inside for the camera because I forgot it. Then Kass drove us to the playhouse...we had minor troubles finding a parking space, but it wasn't too bad. We came across a parking lot.

Anyways, Ulysses's play was great. The Diary of a Scoundrel. He was the scoundrel xD. The first thing I noticed was he cut his hair. I was like, "whaaaAAAAaAA???" If you want to know more about the play, visit the Masquers Playhouse website. My face still hurts. I'm not used to laughing so much. GO SEE IT. NAAAOOO. >O

After the play ended, we walked back to Kass's car, and she dropped me off back at the theatre to give Ulysses his cookies. She drove us back home (now Kass, Lloyd, and Spark know where I live Dx). I cleaned up the last pan of cookies (reject or party quality? :D) and ran up to my computer to type up this thing.

Well, today was great. Good job Ulysses, thank you LloydKassandSpark, and I'll cya all soon, Leadership people. School starting soon. I WANT MY SCHEDULE NAAAAO.

ZOMGS

I found the DS!! It was hiding behind a stack of classical music CDs in the piano room! My sister swears she didn't put it there...

Well, school has started:

Overview of classes:

P.E-New teacher, haven't done much yet. =P

Intro to Comp/Health-ZOMGS BAD CLASS. On the first day, we learned how to turn on a computer! xPP We have WINDOWS 2000 operating systems with a click reaction time of a little under 10 seconds!

Wind Ensemble-FUN CLASS!

AP Calc AB-Evil teacher, Tests on all of the first three days of school. Haven't learned math yet. :x

French-Teacher does not speak A WORD OF ENGLISH DURING CLASS! I'm not sure he even can.=O

Lit 1 Accel.-Boring so far. Not likely to get exciting anytime soon, except when we read To Kill A Mockingbird which is one of the awesomest books ever. xD

Biology-Good class. Excellent teacher...but no Bio yet. Just scientific method. xP

Marching Band, MWF, until 5:30 Ergh, long hours. NO! TILL 5! YES!

August 20, 2006

-sigh- Good times. :P

I just got back from the TIC SF party. Party-ish. >> We were supposed to meet at the Montgomery BART station, except my dad decided to drive us there, and we got stuck in traffic. We missed the group by at least 22 minutes. So we hung around the station from 2:52 to 4:00 (I wasted, like, a third of my BART money checking to see if they were waiting for us inside the station) until Lloyd found me outside. He has good eyes - he spotted Stevie across the street when Tansen was like, "Her hair is too dark," and I was like, "I don't think that's her..." Well, we finally caught up with everyone...you have no idea how happy I was to see everyone again, just like those three days a week for those happy, happy six. (I was of course delighted to see Lloyd, I just failed to mention it up there :P) Disappointingly, however, Koki was the only student other than my brother and I. Come on guys. You can't ALL be on vacation.

By the time we joined the group, all the candy shopping was over. I'm sad about that, but I'm glad we caught them at all. We were about to give up and go home, and I don't think I'd ever been so miserable throughout the entire summer. Trev's nose is looking a lot better. Last time I saw him he looked like the ground tried to murder him or something. (His bike decided to break and he smashed his face on the sidewalk. ><) Anyways, we walked around for a while, just laughing and talking. We had dinner at a little bar/restaurant. We had a whole bunch of pasta, bread, and two pizzas. I had two pieces of candy and a slice of pizza for dinner. :P

So, people, have we all learned an important lesson? When Alina starts laughing she can't stop. I asked when we'd be getting our evaluations, and Trev was like, "Why do you need to see it? You already know you got a B." Everyone cracked up (if you haven't figured out yet, it was a joke xP), and when I was laughing I choked on my pizza. I think a piece flew up into my nose or something. Anyways, everyone started laughing even harder. They were like, "It's okay, if you really got a B he wouldn't have said that!" I think they thought I was crying or something. >>

After that it was all Gelato and talk. Trev got some sort of mint/lemon ice cream. Everyone hated it (it was SOUR xD), but I kind of liked it. I probably shouldn't have said anything. Everyone probably thinks I'm weird(er) now. xD

We walked back to the BART station. Cindy and Trev left first. Tansen and I decided to take an alternate way back home, and we got on the next train with everyone else. Then Vivian, Max, Tansen and I got off (bye Kass and Lloyd ;-;) and swapped trains. Then Tansen and I got off and switched to a Richmond train. We walked/ran home. He poked me ;-;

I'm really glad we got to see everyone again. I can't wait until Saturday...Viv's Mean Girls party...heehee <3

August 19, 2006

-____-;

I've noticed that our titles are all expressions. xD Which reminds me about what Alina said once during Maple Story: Expressions say more than words ever could.


On Friday, my mom forgot our address. -_______-;; Earlier, we got a ticket for, "not making a complete stop at a stop sign." IT WAS SO A COMPLETE STOP. SHEESH MR. POLICEMAN USE YOUR EYES! >=OOO He was just looking for people to give tickets to....She had a pretty bad day.


My attempts at making a layout failed. Miserably. -_______-;

On another note, my sister moved in to her dorm today. Tomorrow we have to bring her things that she forgot. Like star paper. xP She's in a triple, and surprisingly, she seems to have enough room. I was expecting a squeeze since the triples aren't that much bigger than the doubles. Erk, school starts on Monday. I'm gonna get lost with my famous sense of direction...-______-;; *coughcoughBARTstationexitcoughcough*

'ELLO 8DDD

Gaaaah >O In terms of post counts I think P is ahead by 1. IT'S ON. Anyways, I'm going to experiment with break tags to see if they work with MT. I'm too lazy to go find a list of working tags...I'll just figure it out for myself xD Ignore any odd little br tags you see hanging around.

Anyways, Tansen, my mom and I just got back from Texas. We went to see our new house. It's like, twice as big as our current house (including the backyard of our CA house). It's in one of those modern neighborhoods where all the houses look almost exactly alike...the only variation being brick colors...But zomgs, it's soo freaking hot in Texas. I think I heard something like 117 degrees? lol.

Tardness #1: Flight1
Anyways, flying there was pretty tarded. Our plane to LA was delayed so badly that we were going to miss the adjoining plane from LA to Texas, so the people at the airport ended up giving us direct flight tickets. We sat in the Economy Plus section, with 5 inches of extra leg room, which was essentially wasted on me because I spent the whole flight playing Pokemon Leaf Green. >> Somehow Tansen convinced me to sprint to GameStop and buy it 20 minutes before we had to leave for the airport.

Tardness #2: WTF WHERE DO WE SLEEP
Yea. Our house wasn't finished. We were planning to camp out there with blankets and pillows, but the construction wasn't finished. Our realter let us stay at his house, which was really nice. He's got one hyper little kid x.x. The sad part is that the kid speaks at least twenty times as much Chinese as I do. I got owned, man.

Tardness #3: THE HEAT
Self explanatory.


Anyways, that's all for now. I'll post again. Someday soon. -coff- (I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO KASS SINGING. IT'S SO PRETTY. <333333)

August 18, 2006

;~;

*sigh* Kass's voice is so pretty. I've listened to her song two times now. ^_^; Thank you Kass, for letting us hear you without the use of blackmail. Now of course, you have to sing more. =D

Well, now Alina is in Texas, and I'm alone here. T_T; We really have to fix this fugly space. More later.

August 15, 2006

8D!

Haha. Procrastinated getting this weblog for ages. Thankoo, Kass. <3

Anyways, too lazy to do anything right now. I have to make a banner. I'm also playing Pokemon, so....8D

This is going to be a duolog, sometime. When Alina and I figure this out. And consume several pints of Ciao Bella gelato/sorbet. YOU DIDN'T READ THAT.
