so today ended up to be pretty craptacular. this whole week has been really great until today. i actually thought today was gonna be a really good day because i had a good start, but i guess not. i kinda don't want to go into details, but i kinda feel like i have to.
no.
i won't.
just know that i was really sad. and still am. my eyes still hurt.
i kept trying to make myself feel better with all that "you can't get everything you want" and "you have to work with the cards you were dealt" kinda talk. but...
that just doesn't help.
:(
cheer me up, please.
i hope tomorrow will be a lot better. it's half-day and we plan on going out to eat lunch. so hopefully... friends will come in tune when needed.

ohhhh jeebuzzzzz
today was an uuuueber fat day. as in super fried foods fat. (explanations come later!)
this weekend was pretty cool. friday mrs. lyons wasn't in class, which always makes things a lot better. everyone seemed happy; not just me :) saturday was kinda a lazy day, but at night we went out to the mall to watch The Kingdom. waaayyyy too intense for me, especially all the violence packed into the first few minutes. i know i know, i've seen more violence in other action movies, but this one was just asking for a panicked audience all the way through. after the movie we ate some DQ ice cream (kinda a fatty day). but today was like one of the fattiest days i've ever had... we went to the LA fair and basically just ate our way through; must everything be deep fried? this day goes up there at the top of the fattiest days list, right next to the day we went to the OC fair (also a deep fried conundrum). but it was fine, as long as i got to have some nice family bonding time with the cousins before wesley goes back to UCSD and before aimee goes off to UCI.
things to come: i need to pick up on my knitting again, since it seems like it's been forever since i knit anything. also, i've been working on more of those cake softies, one for me and one for aimee. Michaels finally sent out an ad this week, and i need the coupons to save the moneyyyyyyssss! ohh yes, i am low on funds. i also think i should be getting a job soon; i know i've said this before, but i need the money!
usually by now i would be trying to get some sleep, since i have school tomorrow. basically i'm just updating right now to kill time since i just started doing my laundry. why does it have to take an hour to wash? an hour to dry? sigh. i guess i shouldn't be complaining; it could be a lot worse, to the point where i go back in time to do all my laundry by hand. ohh man. i would've died in the olden days. or maybe i would develop super duper arm muscles from all the hard labor... :)
ughhhhh... even hours after leaving the fair, i can still feel the food trying to rush up my esophagus. gross :/

birthday gifts :)
i would have posted these earlier, but i didn't just in case someone just stumbled upon my blog and saw what they were getting for a birthday present. so anyway, here's what i made:
anyway, apologies for the bad lighting that, of course, does not do the real thing justice. anyway, i made stacey a carrot cake softie/pillow thing because after many requests by her to make the actual cake (which i have yet to do) i just assumed that this was her favorite kind of cake. it's measurements are 12 inches by 7 inches (i think). basically what i did was follow this tutorial and just double the size. also i had to wing the carrot, since i had no idea how to sew a carrot... i'm pretty proud of the results :)
once again, very BIG apologies for the horrible, HORRIBLE lighting. for wesley i made a meatwad beanie from Aqua Teen Hunger Force (it's kinda hard to tell from the pictures). maybe better pictures next time? anyway, even though you can't tell, it looks pretty good to me, considering i had to totally make the pattern my own. i tried to follow this tutorial, but it turned out WAY too big, so i basically did trial and error with this one, which is why i had to make two (the bigger one goes to wesley).
here's a better pic (but still fuzzy due to cameraphone) of me wearing the smaller one:
just because i feel like i should mention this: those are NOT my posters in the background. i'm in my sister's room because i don't have a computer in my own room. hopefully you can see the face on the hat better. this hat also makes a mark for me cuz it's the first time i've ever done embroidery on knitted stuff. whippee!
i'm glad that labor day weekend is ending now, especially after that huge hospital scare thing this afternoon with the emergency room and whatnot. also i'm glad to get rid of the crazy hot weather that we're having, since i hear that things'll cool down tomorrow. i'm tired of the temperature being in the 100's and all the sticky-disgustingness that comes with that. hopefully the earthquakes will stop, too. two earthquakes in two consecutive days is crazy, even if this is California!
i'm actually looking forward to going to school this week, which i know sounds strange. i signed up to do this volunteer thing with some IB people to make blankets for needy people in Peru (or at least i think it's Peru). this should be interesting... none of my friends signed up for it (that i know of) so i'm hoping that it won't just be a bunch of quiet workers the whole time. :)
