BAMMM! hit with the holidays!

only a few more days until christmas, and i'm not even done with presents. dang. i was supposed to bring cookies for my friends that i didn't make presents for. i baked them, but they turned out looking like crap. like literally crap. they were supposed to look like chocolate kisses but ended up looking like poo (swirly anime style). gross. i was too embarrassed to bring it to school. oh well.

so my parents have been asking me what i want for christmas. after asking for and getting a very cheap present last year (a little less than $20), i decided to go all out this year and ask for a video camera. and why not? i mean, except for the exuberant price... what i really want to do is just record all my precious moments with my friends... *aww* i probably won't get what i asked for, but atleast i know i tried :)

if i don't get a video camera, then what i would want is a backpack. a really plain one, like those small jansport ones. i should retire my old Trogdor one... i've used it for 3 years now and it's getting really bad. plus, i should be honest now, i haven't really gone on www.homestarrunner.com in the longest time. i've kinda grown out of that humor, plus my computer freezes a lot when watching videos.

GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

i am tired. so very, very tired. it's not that i did a lot, it's that i barely did anything and now i have a lot to do. ehhh.. i'll talk about this later.

This morning was freakin' freezing. our car was frozen at the top and on the windows so it took a lot of energy trying to wipe that ice crap off. ugh. anyway, today should be a really busy day for me. during lunch we have the Halo Halo cabinet Christmas party thing and i have to pick up my gingerbread house from german class. after school aimee and i have to go to the post office or LBC or whatever to mail a bunch of stuff my mom has to send to the Philippines. i also have to go to michaels to buy a shirt and some paint so i can put a giant L on it (woot! HALO HALO!). once i get home i can finish off Christmas gifts and bake some cookies. mmmmm... cookies. wait. i'm getting a little off topic...

nuts. i still need to buy some presents... and i was planning on giving them out tomorrow! ugh.

terrible planning + procrastination = STUPID ELAINE!

dang. i'm talking to myself again. just ignore it; talk amongst yourselves...

Christmas is only a few days away! i can't believe it. i didn't even put the lights up yet around the house. oh well. i'll get to it sometime this week.

i can't wait until this week is over. i can't stand school right now. too much to do. this is the only class i have where i can relax and i don't think i can relax here cuz i hate this class. dear god i hate it so much. ugh.

this weekend laura has been talking a lot to me about possessed dolls. now i'm really paranoid about it. thanx a lot, laura! man, cuz of that i couldn't stand being alone at home last night. there's too many dolls in my room!! AHH!!!!!

yesterday i went to reinalyn's birthday party and it was pretty cool just chilling and playing around. she has a freakin' huge house, and we had a little dinner party thing going on since there was a lot of food and only five of us. there were candles, dinnerwear, and even classical music at one point... it was very classy until we started making fun of jackie. poor jackie. ohh well.

i missed uncle's birthday dinner last night so i could stay at reinalyn's shindig, but that's ok. i had a load of homework anyway, and i had to print out some pictures of reinalyn's new look. MAKEOVER TIME!!

yesterday morning i had another driving lesson, and this time i drove on the freeway. it was something that proves i will never be a great driver... i drive too slow, and the instructor was yelling at me to go faster on the freeway, and i panicked and hit the breaks a couple of times. pshhh. that's what he gets for yelling at me. you mess with me and it'll risk your LIFE! haha. he did deserve it... i thought that would be the last of my lessons with that guy, but my mom asked him if i could take a couple more. WHY?!!

grar. i know you probably can't stand reading these long entries about my boring life. if it makes you feel better, i feel the same way about you! anyway, this is annoying me. this class is a waste of my time. i could be catching up on work i need to do instead of pretending i'm doing work in here.

chuhhhhhhhhh. this is my new "whatever" noise. it'll replace gruhhhhhhhh and nmhnmmuhhhhh for a while now. chuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgh.

it looks like i'm gonna be busy this weekend too...

it's gonna be freakin' crazy for me.

today i have to go to the park with elaine and mindy for our english project and later go to mindy's house to work on it some more. i might go late on saturday to work on it again with the whole group....

saturday morning i have to go to sally's house to work on the math project. i also have to work on and finish christmas presents and various birthday presents. i need to go shopping!!

sunday i'm going to reinalyn's birthday party where we'll share precoious moments *aww*.

yesterday i went to madrisse's house to work on the english project, but instead we kept going off on "tangents" (as madrisse likes to call it). it was fun anyway, wasting time. we listened to a lot of music and watched America's Next Top Model. eventually we went over the script for the project. eventually.

i've done too much this week. that's how you know you've done more than you can handle-- you feel like you're a day ahead when you're really a day behind. i feel like it's saturday. so why the hell am i at school? (if you couldn't already tell, i'm im class right now).

this weekend's gonna be crazy.

i've been really tired lately. i've had too many strange dreams... some of you may know what i'm talking about (gross!). what i hate most is dreams where people die. they make me nervous. anywho, because i've been having really strange dreams this year, i've been really looking into them to find out what they mean. it's really perplexing.

elaine has been telling me a lot lately that she's gonna make me a MySpace. ewww. i suppose it's more convenient for contacting others since everyone has one, but that's kinda the reason i don't want one; EVERYONE HAS ONE. it's too conformist for me. gah.

i'm doing really bad in math analysis. i have a C! it's really sad. i've gotten C's on the last couple of tests, and i always do bad on quizzes. Damn those quizzes! it's not that it's hard or anything, it's just that i can't really remember everything that i need to. Christine demanded that i get an A on the next test. yeah. i don't think so. i actually thought i did well on that last big quiz thing, but i looked at it later and i got another C. ugh. this is what i get for trying NOT to cheat.

hmmm. i kinda forgot what magnanimous means.... let's go and see! so Dictionary.com says:

1.
generous in forgiving an insult or injury; free from petty resentfulness or vindictiveness: to be magnanimous toward one's enemies.
2.
high-minded; noble: a just and magnanimous ruler.
3.
proceeding from or revealing generosity or nobility of mind, character, etc.: a magnanimous gesture of forgiveness.

hmm... i'm not sure if that all applies to me. i'll let you guys decide.

so i guess it's been a while...

since i last updated this thing. a lot of stuff has been going on with me, and i know i'll be really busy this month.... too much stuff to do!!

-friday: TRY and go to Battle of the Bands
-saturday: go to Sally's house to work on project
-sunday: driving lessons, then go to Janet's house to work on another project
-monday: *drool*
-tuesday: finish shirt needed for club picture (or is that next tuesday? oh well)

so as you can see, this weekend's packed. let's take a look at next weekend:

-friday: TRY to go to the christmas party
-saturday: FINISH CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!
-sunday: Reinalyn's birthday party

so yeah... i know christmas presents will take a while cuz i'm making most of them. for the ones i'm not making, i still need to go out and buy them.

ugh.

I was going to post some pictures today of my friends, Halo Halo Hip Hop, and my latest knitting projects but heute ist sehr traurig fuer mich und fuer die Schule. Ich bin sehr gestoert im mein Kopf. I kinda don't want to explain it right now. I'll try and post pictures next week.



i am so sick of cars.

the weather is changing...

and i know this because i am sick. Also because the temperature on the thermometer on my fish's tank is significantly lower than it was a week ago. So what does this mean? It means i can knit more stuff without feeling like I'm a weirdo. I'm planning on knitting a lacy scarf once i'm done with my cable purse. which reminds me- i have to stop spending money. Lately I've been spending a lot of my birthday money on yarn and other stuff. i have to make sure i put my money in a place where i could just forget about it- that way it will eventually accumulate to something i could spend instead of something i'm just holding on to like my coin jar. Why is coinstar so expensive anyway?

I went to the football game last night when we played covina. yeah... we lost 7 to 41. If i were a football fan and if i even remotely supported our team i think i would have cried. Since Grace couldn't go with me i ended up hanging out with Jessica and a couple of her friends. It was ok, although most of the time i wasn't really sure what was going on. Atleast the halftime show was ok... i don't want to say anything bad about it because i know they probably put a lot of hard work into it... but i should say that the other team's band was pretty loud, even if they were small and scattered around the seats. maybe they DID have hidden microphones...

Anywho, my classes have been ok so far. I mean, besides the usual ton of work i get. I'm actually studying for the tests this year instead of just glancing at notes 10 minutes before. That's good, right? This year has been a lot harder than the past two and i guess now i have to believe it when the older students told me that junior year would be the toughest year in high school. hmmm... maybe it's not that hard and it's just the laziness of summer trying to push its way back in. If it is just laziness, then i have to make sure that it stays out for a while- i have 2 projects coming up, and i know there is more to come.

the first official post here!

i kind of have to make this one short though. right now i'm in keyboarding class. i hate this class. god i hate this class. so why am i taking it, you ask? mainly because we're required to have atleast one computer class during high school. i decided to take the easiest A that i could get here, which was keyboarding. when i chose this class though, i forgot that i had taken it before in eighth grade... so i guess that was my fault. but anywho, i suppose it's not too bad because it gives me free time to surf around the internet every day.

lately i've been looking for good knitting patterns online. i have to make sure somehow that it works... last time i got a pattern online for a bunny plushie that i tried to make twice, but both times they ended up looking like some sort of rabbit-armadillo hybrid. yesterday i knit a really simple bookmark; maybe later i'll post a picture of it. i was planning on knitting this lacey one that i saw online, but i didn't know what the hell they were talking about in the instructions. i really need to learn some of the more complicated stitches so i can knit better stuff.

see? i told you it would be short. but anyway, bye for now! :]
