we should all go to Bumbershoot!
I really wanna watch Kanye West, Yellowcard, and quite possibly Blue Scholars.
Except, ahh, I really should go get a job, otherwise I'll be delving into my savings for $18. (I really should go around and get a job to live the kind of lifestyle I want to live. ..but no one wants me. :( sigh)
Well, maybe let's just go to Seattle that weekend anyway? September 2-4th. :)

TGIF

Sat, 01 Jul 2006 04:04:57 GMT

What an interesting day today. Took the 11:30a ferry and was surprised to see the Ryan and the Oliver. Met up with my sister, and wandered around North Seattle on my second apartment hunt. I think from the ones I saw this time around, only one seems like it'll be available the time I need it. The rent actually isn't that bad at all--795 for two bedrooms, all utilities paid except electricity. The other two were either getting too pricey, or didn't seem like they'd have any vacancies. I think we'll do our last apartment hunt in the end of July. Afterwards, ate some Thai food with my sister, and acted like complete dorks. Then I got my nails done. :) First time getting a pedicure, and I realized that I'm still ticklish. Then an uneventful ferry ride back home.

Anyway, I'm thinking about doing some journal-hopping again. I can't think of a username yet though.

Breathe.

As of June 16, 2006, I am officially a high school graduate...
...and yet, I have class tomorrow. :( (Olympic College, mind you.)

Point No Point?!

ATTN: MED KIDS

Tue, 30 May 2006 02:15:45 GMT

WHO: the med kids
WHAT: B&i pictures
WHERE: Tacoma
WHEN: Saturday, June 3
WHY: ...grad pics??

Let's go!

isn't it past my bedtime?

Mon, 15 May 2006 08:51:05 GMT

whee! i'm most productive when i should be sleeping.
anyway, i recorded a song that i wrote in a day. i'm calling it "what would it take?" the quality is still primitive (partly because i'm unfamiliar with the program, and partly because i'm not the greatest singer), but it's what i've got. right now it's just the vocal and simple piano (i sample final fantasy! XD). teeheehee. hmm...i'll post it one of these days when i feel ballsy enough about sharing it. :P right now, i've got some fleeting feeling attached to it. i'm just reveling in my nerdiness/creativity while the feeling still lasts.
ahhh, i should go to bed now.

I don't wanna go to OC anymore.

Wed, 19 Apr 2006 01:54:55 GMT

Today I learned that my lifespan development teacher died from "self-inflicted wounds." I mean, I only knew the guy for two class sessions, but this is all really very strange. This is now the third professor from OC in recent years that has gone missing and allegedly committed suicide. What's going on?!

Prayers and condolences to anyone who knew him and to his family.

Yay, I won't have to live in a cardboard box!

Sun, 09 Apr 2006 15:04:51 GMT

Or worse, stay here and take the ferry at bloody five in the morning. >D
(Which, surprisingly, I know of three people that do that. Crazy kids.)

WE FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE. And I just hope that it'll be available in August/September. I mean, two-bedroom pretty decent price (810/835) monthly, all utilities paid except electricity (we don't need a LAN line or cable), nicely sized bedrooms and living room, washer/dryer in some units, close to a busline that takes you to the heart of the U, remodled and updated units, nice guy landlord, close to the sister, close to a grocery store, post office, bank, mall, Target...manohman, I really hope it'll be available. *o*

But! honestly! I! don't! want! to! move! out! I have separation anxiety, I'm the youngest and I was coddled. I've never really been independent. I started figuring out the stuff I need to get and do before I move out, and seriously--2006 and graduation and prom all seemd so far away. I don't wanna grow up! (I'm a Toys 'R' Us kid...)

Man, why am I up this early...
Whee! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELAINE!!

Smiling like an idiot.

Sat, 01 Apr 2006 04:57:50 GMT

Despite the fact that I've probably failed or nearly three exams in a span of two days, I'm still smiling like an idiot and am still in a really, really good mood.
Step 2 of 2 completed! Hahah.

But anyway, even though it's spring break, I've seriously gotta start studying for the bloody AP exams. I only have two, but I know I've got to work on it so I can get the credit. I'm pretty sure I can get at least 3s, but I'm aiming for those 4s and 5s. More importantly, I've gotta start looking for a place to live. I think we've finalized it down to 3 places that we're gonna check out before we go back to school. I can't believe it's all coming to an end and that we're entering our final quarter. Thirteen years down, and unfortunately, we all have at least two or four more years to go.

Haha! And I just took the RealAge test like my psych teacher recommended. And I am 18.2. But I couldn't put my real age in (I had to backtrack 3 years, so it said I was 21). I was actually around 15 before that last part about working out...XD Oh yeah. I lost four~five pounds from being sick! XD Man, that was a pretty easy workout...

THREE MONTHS.

Fri, 17 Mar 2006 03:36:29 GMT

Exactly three months (or three months - a day for you Oly kids) until we graduate!
CK kids rejoice and OLY kids don't.
I love how they're the two polar opposites.

Step 1 of 2 completed.

Sun, 12 Mar 2006 03:52:18 GMT

So, the easy part's done: I now have a prom dress (30 bucks @ Ross, beat that suckaahs). It's a pinkish/reddish (would that be fushia) strapless (strapless! can you believe it?!) dress with the ruffled/scrunched up thing going on on the left side. It's a little plain, so I'll have to pretty-fy it (like I did my Tolo dress) sometime. There's also a very small black (pen?) stain on the front that I'll have to cover up too. Other than that, it really is a gorgeous dress. I was almost going to get the cream/gold one at JC Penny's, but it was a hundred dollars more and I'd probably never wear it again. Anyway, I'm rambling. I've got the dress, I now just need the date. And boy, that boy had better say yes! (And I think I'm the only one lacking confidence in this.) Otherwise, I might end up asing random juniors. Either way, I'm probably going to have to fill out that guest pass.

In other unrelated news, I created my own font! It's my handwriting...and...I don't think I like my handwriting. =_=;

Goals by the end of the month: 1) ask (gah! ask!) the potential prom date because it's a contemporary world and girls can ask guys (pathetically? but then if I don't I'll probably regret it); and, 2) find an apaato with the Geizel so we can check it out over spring break or something.

I think...

Thu, 09 Mar 2006 06:12:31 GMT

we should all go prom dress shopping!
And date hunting, for all that matters.

Thu, 02 Feb 2006 05:37:24 GMT

Accepted to the University of Washington, class of 2010 (although, I'm still gonna try and make it in 2009, but whatever). The point is, I'm in. =DDD
Noooww, I just gotta keep my OC gpa up so I can get into the nursing program. Which means, I should really start on my English paper.

The persistant little bugger that I am.

Sorry to everyone I've bother with my problems dealing with the UW Admissions Office. (Which is, ehmm, a lot of people...*runs away*) Thanks for listening to me though. :) Good luck on finals, everyone.

Oh please, just reject me now so I can find some piece of mind.

Sat, 21 Jan 2006 06:10:54 GMT

DEAR LIVEJOURNAL,

THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON ADMISSIONS OFFICE SECRETARIES CAN ROT IN THE NETHERWORLD FOR ALL I CARE.
THEY ARE UNHELPFUL, AND THAT WOULD BE THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR.

So I call this morning, and the same lady (who was unhelpful the very first time) says that all the admissions counselors are in a meeting this morning and that I should call back later in the afternoon.
So I called earlier this afternoon, and the same lady says that all the admissions counselors are unavailable and that I should call Monday morning.

PLEASE. JUST REJECT ME NOW SO I CAN FIND SOME SORT OF PIECE OF MIND, INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THEIR FUNKED UP SYSTEM TO UPDATE AND TELL ME THAT I'M BEING DENIED ADMISSION WHEN NONE OF THIS IS MY FAULT. PLEASE. THEY'VE ALREADY ROBBED ME OF FIFTY BUCKS, STUPID ADMISSIONS ESSAYS, AND WAY TOO MANY OF MY EMOTIONS. I'VE GONE CRAZY ABOUT THIS FOR TOO LONG. IT'S NOT WORTH ALL OF IT ANYMORE. SO JUST TELL ME NOW. PLEASE.

(goes crazy)

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 17:12:43 GMT

HOW DO SAT SCORES GET LOST ELECTRONICALLY?

...I should be getting ready for school and eating breakfast, but calling the Office of Admissions has left me in a bad mood. They don't seem really...helpful. And I know they get 3294089032 applications a day, but I mean, can they just help me out a little instead of keeping me waiting in this agony and anxiousness, waiting for them to match up my name with my scores. Because really, if I don't get into the UW, I don't know where I'm going. WWU is a good school, but it's a business school and I'm not heading that way; SU is a good school, but my dad doesn't want to pay that much. I don't particularly want to stay at OC and it would be ironic if I ended up going there when I've been ragging on it all this time.

Anyway, school starts today. I don't wanna go. I have to start going to OC again too, but that's at Bangor, meaning I have to leave my house earlier which therefore means I have to leave CK earlier. Kyaargh. I got my English books today. From the library. 'Cause I'm cheap like that.

Oh, and RESOLUTIONS! (even though I tend to forget about them)
+ lose the pudginess
+ be nicer (meaning, letting go of mean-ness caused by the bitterness o_o)

Yeah, that's all I could think of.

Sun, 01 Jan 2006 03:02:50 GMT

OMG.
2006 APPROACHES.

So like...I really have a bad memory, but I think--I think 2005 was an alright year.
...I should make a New Year's resolution, but I never keep them anyway.

...HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

So like...

Tue, 20 Dec 2005 18:45:52 GMT

...UW didn't get my SAT scores. So I called el College Board and explained to them what happened. And if scores are sent electronically, where the hell did my test scores go? @_@ They're lost in cyberspace...
Well, the lady was nice and waived my fee and sent scores to UW again. :)

...that school better get my scores now.
Seriously.

Operating on four hours of sleep.

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 04:14:19 GMT

So last night, my brother had the bright idea of going to my sister's place in Seattle to work on our respective assignments. I did manage to finish the first drafts of my admissions essays, but I already went over the limit on the second essay. I need to send them of tonight though, so my other brother can proofread and give me feedback. =) But, it's on the way. My sister fed us Thai food and she played "Bewitched" but none of us were paying attention. And we all tried wiggling our noses but our flat noses can't do crap. =( The thing is, we all ended up falling asleep until I woke up at 1:30 in the morning because we had to head back home. So we didn't end up back in good old B-town until a little past three in the morning earlier today. Yeayuh. I woke up at 8:30 to go teach at JP, but I wasn't as cranky as I thought I would be. =O And then today, we had a potluck but barely anyone showed up so it was a complete waste of time.

And now I'm working on my final paper for my history class at OC because I don't want an A- on my transcript. Hi, I'm a perfectionist, I tell you.

And this time! I! will! make! peace! Because I never got around to it last time because of those damned phone calls on my cell phone a few months ago when I finally decided "screw you, you're a waste of time." But now, OMFG!!one11!, we can speak in each other's vicinities. Yes, it's pathetic. And yes, we have such a messed up relationship, but there it is. So I figured, it's probably okay to reconcile, and it is senior year and graduation and everything, and I don't want a stupid grudge hanging over my head after June. I really hate how I have to initiate it, but that's just how it goes, I suppose.

You know, whenever I watch Making the Band 3, I want to learn the dance. But I'm spasmatically incorrect. Hi, random.

Really, how did me and Shirley become so mean? ;o; Has CK hardened us that much?
...Eh, oh well. XDD

Boo, college apps. But yaay, GoF~

Sat, 19 Nov 2005 17:48:56 GMT

Today is "Finish-your-damned-UW-application-so-you-can-relax-for-the-holidays-and-end-up-not-going-to-University-of-Bremerton"-day. Or more plainly, get that essay done-day. Baah. I was supposed to finish the draft last Saturday so this past week could have been my revising/editing day, but whatever.

We got our report cards yesterday and I showed it to my mommy and she was disappointed. Well, she told me to take AP so I did. I can't help it if they're not up to par, but I'm getting there~ Anyway, I'm at my satisfactory grade level right now, and I can only work up. Yeayuh.

And then I watched Goblet of Fire yesterday, and daannng, HP got scary. =O But it was still awesome. 'Cause I knew it was gonna be scary since I got freaked out when I read the book. Yep, I'm HP-nerdy, and no, not Hewitt-Packard nerdy. =P

It's morphin' time!

Sat, 29 Oct 2005 02:33:46 GMT

So you've got to admit--this is one pretty awesome homecoming float:

Whee. I think senior year comes with being a bit more school spirited. :)

No really, I can't afford gas.

Sat, 22 Oct 2005 03:46:28 GMT

Broke phi broke, we ain't got it
We can't afford no gas
So we ain't driving

Oh, how these words ring true.
I hate gas prices. I hate not having a job. I hate not having time to do the crap I want to do. Like, even simple things like a nap. Because I chose to go to OC from 4:30 to 7:30 for every weeknight after high school. I hate school. I hate math. I hate Bush. (hey, gotta fit that somewhere in each of my tirades) I hate being shy. I hate college applications. I hate staying after school at CK for all these damned clubs. (The damned clubs or just the clubs? XD)

But whatever, weekend's coming up and I can have some winding down time.
Heehee. I'm looking for which picture to use as my senior baby picture for the yearbook. Between the stoned/squinty looking one, the happy-but-I-look-like-a-boy one, and the duster/witch one. I think...I'm going with the last one though. 'Cause I like that picture. And they're only gonna put my face so I think I'll just use that.

After looking at all those pictures though, I really got to thinking (and realizing that my forehead was always big and that I always had big eyes). We're almost done with our teenage years, we're graduating, we're supposed to leave our comfortable and cushiony bubble and go to college. And really, I don't wanna grow up quite yet. I like not having a tremendous amount of responsibility placed upon me. I have a mommy-complex. I'm going to miss homecooked meals and being away from family (because, although I know I'll eventually grow to like the change and being outside the bubble, I'm still the baby and it'll just be weird not living under this roof). I don't know. Excited, but scared?

But I still have about what? 8, 9 months? of enjoying the bubble. Time to make the most of it. Time to turn my shamelessness into non-shyness (paradox, I know). But I think that will also take some time to outgrow. I don't know. I'm rambling in circles now.

In other news, I think I have a low tolerance to alcohol. I'm just guessing anyway. I mean, just one tablespoon of Nyquil knocks me out for like, 12 hours. Um yes. Make sure I never get drunk. =)

hi.
i failed my calculus test.
but he put a square root curve, so i got a D on the test. yeayuh.

&&&,
i don't want to go to my history class today. that class is full of dumbasses. and it's sad 'cause they're all like 10+ years older than me.

&&&,
i hate school.

Too much with the junk in the trunk.

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 03:14:22 GMT

I hate school.
It really sucks.
One a penny, two a penny,
Screw damn school.

(see what school does to meee? >_<)

---

Sooo, I took the SAT on SAT and I SAT down to take my SAT on SAT. You know, those three letters really need to just die. But then after the test, me and Shirley scrambled around to find Atsuko a birthday present. I felt bad 'cause we didn't even wrap it, but oh well. Mexican food is good. And filling. And I can clear my plate before other people start, yeayuh.

And then on Sunday, we met my brother's future in-laws. Pretty fun stuff. Except we're really shy, so I hope they don't think we're stuck up or anything. It's the shyness, after all. They had a cute golden retriever too. Me and my sister kept petting her, asking my mom for a dog. :)

On Monday I totally bs-ed my history paper. And an hour before class the next day, I bs-ed it some more. Baah. School's kicking my ass. But then I learned that there were really stupid people in the class. Alas, the military...now, at least. =X

And then today, I found out I have horrible timing. >_____< Like, really. And I bs-ed my psychology test, but I think I did pretty decent. B-worthy, I hope. Oooh, and I met someone who has almost the same name as me. Same last name, almost same first name. Small world. I need a new name. =X

Hurray for cryptic posts~

Really, the freaks come out at night!

Tue, 27 Sep 2005 05:51:37 GMT

Conclusions I've come to after this past weekend:

Don't go to the park after dark, alone. Freaky guys will hit on you, and you'll feel very uncomfortable. So go in a group, and bring some guys so you can say, "hey, my boyfriend is over there..."
I have tendencies to like "white-ish guys." ^^v
Lack of sleep causes cynicism.
Little kids really aren't that bad, the ones with manners anyway.
However, the ones who wreck your sand castle ten minutes after you build it can screw themselves. :(
Who the hell turns down a full scholarship to Seattle U?!?!
If you run over a squirrel, his brothers will throw acorns at you when you get to a park.
Try not to piss off waiters when it's been a long day, nearing closing hours. They might spit in your food.
So you're not supposed to sit around the furniture section at JC Penny's...
People will look at you funny when you bluntly ask them something. And then your good friend will cart you off because you embarassed her. And then it might seem reminiscent a few years from now, like when you're in a drunken rage, and your friend takes your arm and makes sure you don't embarrass yourself further. (Hii, I have a roundabout way of speaking/writing, so if you didn't understand that, it's all good.)

Hiii, I don't understand calculus. But drawing vectors is fun! (Hii, I'm a nerd.)

Mission of the week: sophomore, junior, or senior? XD
