Why am I such a fail person? Happy New Years!!!!

I can't believe out of all of the 11 schools I am applying to I only really want to go to 2. That is sad and they are my reaches. Do I suck at choosing schools or what? I can only hope to transfer. I was researching one of the schools I applied to and people hate it there. I mean I sent my scores in, so I pretty much have to at least apply. It is pure torture writing the essay. My essay is so bad it's laughable. I'm only trying to fix it for my pride as a writer. But it's too hard to write false nice things about somewhere I don't want to go.

I literally feel sick to my stomach. What a great way to ring in the new year. Arg. Did you guys notice I say this often. Yes. Arg!! I can only hope for a miracle I will get into one of the those two schools. Please!!!!

Well, I'm going to power through this all. I may sound extremely pathetic right now, but it's because I feel that way. But in 9 minutes (before midnight) I am going to release all this negativity and leave it behind in 2011. I hope you all have a wonderful 2012. And to all people applying to college. Research carefully!

Also Arashi was so cute at Kouhaku. (spelling that wrong) Their performance really made me feel better and it affirmed my love for them. Thanks Arashi for the smiles and hard work. Good luck in 2012. You'll have my continued support.

Still Cramming

Still cramming college applications just 2 days before the deadline. Sad. Anyways, I am worried that my SAT scores have not been sent yet, and if they'll get there in time. Worried!!!! I mean I sent some on the 15th and the 23rd. So I hope they get processed soon.

My brain hurts.

I haven't done my winter break HW yet.

I got an ipod touch (8GB). It's really just for games. I already have an ipod classic (160GB). They are totally worth it and in my opinion better than ipod touches. They hold more (bang for your buck), can hold videos and songs (unlike my old ipod nano, though I liked that those had colors unlike the classics), so if you want an ipod that can last for a while get the classic. I have only 16GB of stuff from just 1 year, so that's out of probably like 150GB.

Need to finish an application tonight, and 2-3 tomorrow, and then I am done. And the wait begins. Oh, April. Or March. I am so scared I will get rejected from my safety schools. Is that sad or what? Because I applied rolling admission and still no reply a month later. I want to get accepted somewhere. So jealous of the people who have been accepted.

Sigh, back to racking my brain and watching videos on YouTube for Why _______? I kind of hate this question. I really want to be creative about it, but it's such a boring and generic question.

  This is such a cute Wong Fu Video. Though the ending    totally freaks me out. Gosh, Ted is so cute selling black market awkward animals. Wong Fu for Life. Aww.

Happy Birthday Aiba-chan!!

Happy 29th Birthday to Aiba from Arashi. Yes, his birthday is December 24th which is Christmas Eve. I feel bad that he never has really had a B-day party because they just put his Birthday and Christmas together. Aww, I hope he continues to be his awesome self and continue to inspire others with his smiles, laughs, and Aibakaness. Ahh, Masaki.com!!!!

Aiba Bye Bye

Deferred

Ahh, I just found out that I got deferred  from the only EA school I applied to. Mixed feelings. I feel like a lot of people got deferred, more so than rejected which just means more competition. Sigh. I really just wanted to get in somewhere to get a sense of security. Man, my stats weren't so great and looking at College Confidential shot my confidence (whatever is left of it) into the ground. Like, these people got deferred with near perfect SAT's and a million of extracurricular activities? At least I didn't get rejected (surprisingly-maybe they really liked my essays?) though now the torture like wait for 4 months for my decision begins along with my other schools. If I get rejected from all of them I will be seriously crushed. Please let me get in somewhere!!!!

I don't suck as much as I thought

Today, When I stepped into the cafeteria and saw the bake sale to my surprise and absolute delight, only 2 of my cookie cake slices were left, and as I was on line I saw people buy the last 2 pieces. I thought no one would buy it, super happy. Maybe because it was a bit more original than everyone else. The rest of the things were just like chocolate chip cookies-BORING.

So I take back my last post, I don't suck that much. Though I still kind of do. Go Cookie Cake! Though it isn't a real one. Just cookie dough in a cake pan.

I suck at Baking

I had to make something home made for a club bake sale. But I suck at baking a lot of the times, like I end up burning them or something goes wrong. Even though I followed the instructions on the box. Well I made cookie cake- which for me is cookie dough mix thrown into a round cake pan and baked. I've made it like twice before and it usually turns out okay. But this one turned out really bad. The taste is fine but it was seriously soft and when I cut it, it was all mushy. So I tried to bake it for longer, which ended up burning the bottom. Thus it is ugly snicker-doodle cookie cake. Oh, well. I need club credit. Never baking again for bake sales. I will just buy like I usually do. I wonder if anyone will buy it? Poor sucker. Plus I only had 8 pieces that were really small. Maybe, it only works for chocolate chip, that's what I usually use.

Stuffed

Went to a Japanese Buffet. Stuffed myself silly. So full it hurts. You know how you're supposed to eat until you are 3/4 full because the message hasn't gotten to your brain that you are full, so even though you don't feel full you actually are, well today I felt 100% full, so I must have been 125% stuffed!!!! Plus it was really expensive (and I went with my entire family), and the food was only so-so.

Stomach is so full. >.<

Want new Background!

I really like my blog background, it's whimsically cute I guess, but I want a more personalized one. I'm sooo un-tech savvy, so I'm pretty clueless about these things. I've seen other peoples' blogs and their all personalized and cool. I want one too! Somebody tell me how!!!!! Please?

Recently I have been going to sleep around 1 am or later and I used to go to sleep at like 11:30 pm latest last year. Do you think it's senior-itis? You know how hard it is to go to bed at 11:30 pm when you start going to bed way later? Really hard. I've gotten these horrendous dark bags under my eyes! Aarg!

Gah, 5 days!

5 days until I know my early action decision to ... Not saying. I mean I don't really really want to go there, but I want the safety of knowing that I have a good school to go to if I get rejected from my top school. I actually haven't applied there yet (still haven't done the supplement which is the usual Why do you want to come to ____?) which you may think is strange if it is my top school I would have applied early, but I have changed my top school like 6 times, so I didn't want to be too committed because this certain school only had early decision.

My friend who had applied to ... fine I'll say it ...Cornell got deferred , but at least she can apply again. Another girl from my school also got deferred from Cornell. And this really smart (all rounder) in my school got rejected from Columbia or so I hear. I know very little about these decisions because I  (big shocker) don't have a Facebook or Twitter. Nope (though I do have this blog which no one reads and it is pretty anonymous though if one of my friends stumbled upon it they would totally know it's me, so I hope they don't) I'm pretty uninterested in communicating with others. Though I am contemplating on whether or not I should make a Facebook just to contact with my buddies when I go to college. Hmm...

My sister is always using the excuse that I am anti-social to my mom so I have to go places with her that I don't want to. Anti-social is a misnomer (which I learned in AP Psych). I'm am just an introvert who likes chilling at home a lot more than going out (though I do like going out it takes up a lot of energy and can just seem bothersome) Sorry it's the truth!

Man, my desk lamp by my computer is broken, so I'm typing in the semi-dark (I have a different light on across the room, but it's way too dark!) I'm so irritated, the darkness makes my eyes hurt and I have really bad eyesight. I should really go to sleep. Got to finish my apps, and I have a whole heck of amount of textbook homework to read and take notes on and I have to finish reading Moby Dick (90 pages to go plus a really thick packet of questions to go with it). Moby Dick is seriously about a dude obsessed about killing a whale that still has not appeared in person. Yes, I know it has so much more than that and a lot of different themes and other things, but it can just be very boring to me not to mention very long!!!!!! Luckily the chapters are short and my teacher cut a few of the really boring and irrelevant stories like the ones about whale body parts and etc.

Spazzing!!!! With Happiness!

Gosh I'm so excited! Do you want to know why???? Because I was just perusing Wikipedia and apparently they are making some kind of spin off of Avatar the Last Airbender, definitely one of the best animated TV shows ever, and I was so sad when it ended. I loved it so much I even went to see the movie (which pretty much sucked as expected) even though I knew I was pretty much throwing away 10 bucks. The only cool thing about the movie was the CGI for the bending. The cast was totally messed up. The Cast should have been predominately Asian, and also they couldn't even say the characters names right. Hullo? Watch the TV show so you know! I mean the guy from Twilight who plays Jasper, Jackson Rathborne, played Sokka. I mean seriously?  Come on!

But excited for this spin-off. So exciting! Go read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Legend_of_Korra

The series is called The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra!!!!!!!

Spazzing with happiness. Can't wait until it comes out in 2012.

The movie New Year's Eve is coming out soon. It actually looks quite interesting maybe because I see Lea Michelle from Glee. I hated Valentines' Day because it was so cheesy and boring. Hope this one isn't like that. Plus I don't like how like there are like 20 all stars. Too much!

 This week's Glee episode was pretty good. Sam came back! I loved the song at the end, We are Young. Awesome. Didn't really like New Directions songs for sectionals (why did they sing 3?) So I thought the Troubletones should have won, but I'm happy New Directions won and how everyone is all together again. Give Damian lines, I mean seriously Lindsay has more lines than him. Gerber baby. .... Laugh.

Christmas episode next! Love Love New Girl, though this week's episode was a bit awkward... Last Man Standing is good too, ahh Tim Allen. Boyd is sooo cute. Doesn't make sense how the brunette girl (forgot her name, the eldest daughter) and Nick Jonas ( playing the guy who impregnated her) made a blonde little boy. Weird. Oh, well he is too cute!

Watching I Hate My Teenager daughter, and it is well... sub-par, but I will still watch it.
X-Factor is so boring now, I don't know any of the songs and most of them really aren't that good. I actually liked watching  the auditions (even the bad ones b/c they are funny) then the show right now. All the performances have way too many lights and things like that. I hope Melanie wins b/c her voice is good. Everyone else is kind of eh...

Also watching Suburgatory (hmmm, it's interesting). How I met your Mother (this week's episode was quite sad in its own way). Can't wait for The Big Bang Theory tomorrow. Yes I watch a lot of TV, well technically I don't actually watch it on TV, I watch it online. Yup, I actually don't have time to watch this stuff, but I do anyway!!!! I am such a big procrastinator. Sigh. Hart of Dixie is Awesome. ZADE! Hmm, I think that's just about all I watch.

Wait!

The Next Iron Chef... I want either Chef Falkner or Chef Zakarian to win. Also I watch The Amazing Race. Go Ernie and Cindy (too bad the snowboarders Andy and Tommy got out) or Jeremy and Sandy. I don't really like Marcus and Amani because I think they only survived so far because of luck, so I don't really want them to win.

Seriously, Glee? (How could you!)

Damian won a 7-episode arc. But the only true episode he has had a decent amount of lines and a song or two was the 1st one that he appeared in. All the other episodes he has been in has been like just a pan to his face or 1 line. Does this count as a part of the 7 episodes? Because if it does then he got totally ripped off because he is just making cameos. I saw that he has some sort of development in plot in the Christmas Episode. But seriously, Glee writers give him more lines and more songs!!!!

I also wonder when are they going to introduce Sam and Alex? I saw that Lindsay will be appearing in the next episode. I thought the I Kissed a Girl episode was pretty good. Though it was a bit predictable and sad that Santana's Grandma didn't accept her. Sam is coming back!! Though it's so weird the whole moving away and back and that short (very short) stint with Mercedes barely even made sense. They left like a total cliffhanger, and then totally ended that possible love story. At least in what I saw of next episodes preview that Sam (Chord) cut his hair. I sure wish they'd fix Damian's hair to normal.

I don't like Sebastian at all. He creeps me out soooo much. Though one of my friends does like him, I don't.
I see that he would be appearing soon. Arg. Oh, well Wikipedia has failed me before with some misinformation. Sigh. Though I guess it can be pretty reliable most of the time.

Happy Turkey Day (Gobble Gobble)

Happy Thanksgiving to all. It's so sad this year that none of my cousins or aunts and uncles came over. Just me and my parents, siblings, and grandparents. Oh, well. We stuffed ourselves quite nicely. Turkey, mashed potatoes, regular baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, cucumbers, lobster,etc. AND BIRTHDAY Cake. It's my Grandpa's b-day tomorrow so we had cake. Yum.

Even though I don't really like turkey, esp. the cold cuts kind (eww). I generally tolerate Thanksgiving Turkey. Though this year's was pretty good. I think my dad said it was good because it was an Organic Turkey. ...

Happy Turkey Day to all and Good Luck on Black Friday! I have actually never went Black Friday shopping before b/c I don't really like shopping all too much. But I might go tomorrow. I'm quite scared... Need clothes... I hope I don't get trampled. Though I won't be a lunatic lining up at midnight. Nope, probably in the afternoon when all the good stuff is gone. Oh, well.

Senior-itis

This is a Legit thing. I didn't believe in it. But I sooo do now. Gosh, usually I do procrastinate, but I procrastinate 10x more than usual. Plus I've been going to sleep so late now. 1 am. Yeesh. For no good reason either. Plus I don't start my HW until way later like 8:30 or 9:00 pm. And while I'm doing it (like right now) I get distracted.

On the other hand, there are these games called ____ Story. Right now I have a Bakery and Restaurant Story (thought Bakery is more fun) and also a Tiny Tower and I'm so addicted to them. I check it before I go to bed it, when I wake up, at random intervals when I am procrastinating. Sad, right? So addicting though!!!!

Man, I've only done 1 college application, like 10 more to go. I have to START! ...

And Happy Pictures for fun.

Look it's Chibi Spanner from Hitman Reborn!









Waa!! It;s Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon! So Cute!

WORST THING EVER

AHHHHH!! One of the computers in my house is totally wacked up, so my parents called some tech dude to fix it. And when my mom asked my sister if she had any work on the computer (I wasn't really paying attention) and she said no, I thought to myself  "Oh, I haven't used the PC downstairs for a while, so I don't have work on it". B/c I thought they were going to restart it.

I just found out that the dude deleted EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! All my work, music, and most importantly MY ARASHI VIDEOS! This may seem stupid to people, but it took forever to download and amass that many videos. Now they are all gone. Also recently I somehow deleted a lot of my videos on the PC in my room and was only able to recover a few. Which already made me depressed, but I thought "well, it's a good thing I have a lot of my videos downstairs as backup." But I never got to go downstairs to get them b/c it was wacked up and the mouse wouldn't work, so of course I couldn't get them.

So my mom blames me for not listening, I didn't even know she was addressing me. I was just getting the attention of my sister who couldn't hear her calling. She said she told me, but I misunderstood her plus I didn't know she was also talking to me. Also she said she told me to put all my work on my USB. But when I transfer videos between PC's I can only bring a few at a time. How would I be able to put all my videos, work, music, etc on 2 half filled USB's that are 4GB. Yes only 4 GB, probably with only 2GB of space. Seriously. That is just irrational.

I also still have to write my AP Gov't research paper in like 2-3 hrs and I haven't even started. I think I'll just write about Jon Huntsman Jr. Aarg. I know nothing though. So whatever. Plus I want to watch Amazing Race tonight b/c I couldn't for the last few weeks.

I mean I 'm already depressed about this. SADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not even going to bother to try to re-download those videos b/c that would be impossible and it would take forever. I mean I've seen them all a million times, but they still bring a smile to my face and a laugh to my sad and tiring day or just to those bored days when I don't have internet.

Man......................................................

I'm sorry to all (probably like 2 people max who happened to stumble upon this) for ranting and sounding idiotic, somewhat bratty, and etc. I just feel sad b/c ARASHI is my whole world esp. in hard times.

Funny Ellen Video

I love Ellen's show. It's so funny and amusing and very lighthearted which is nice. I just saw this video on Youtube and it totally cracked me up. I want to be on the taping of Ellen b/c people win prizes and what not and silly things happen.

Re: One week left

I finished in time! Just saying. But now I have the rest of my applications to do, but since I finished Common App it should be easier. Still need Safetys. And Targets.

Amazing Race 19

This season has been quite interesting and I have watched enough episodes to make up a list of my favorites, at least for now. Also I joined the TAR fantasy game thing (reminds me of fantasy football whatever that may be?? Boys really like playing it even my AP Gov't teacher...weird). Whoo, 360 points! Don't know how it works really, but I pick the same people each week.

So my favorite team right now is Lawrence and Zac (though in the previous episode Lawrence had been chauvinistic b/c some of the girls couldn't sew and telling her BF that he should be careful about marrying her (in a JK way I think) which annoyed me b/c I can't sew! Sheesh.)

I also like Tommy and Andy b/c they are a bit reminiscent of my fav team ever THE COWBOYS! B/c of their attitude and also they have won a lot of legs already, so they are definitely front runners.

I also am rooting for Cindy and Ernie (although she is a bit Type A and a control freak).

I'm also surprised how Bill and Cathy (the older couple) has survived for so long. Also surprised that the Survivor winners couple had gotten eliminated so fast.


Also I think there has been so many non-elimination legs already (been 3) which is the normal number, but usually they are spread out every 3 legs, but recently it had been every 2 legs. I wonder if there are going to be any more? I want them to go to Japan, but I think that is slim. Can't wait until Sunday's episode. Hopefully I can watch it, and the Football game won't go on forever and push back 60 minutes, thus pushing back Amazing race.

Glee w/ Damian aka Rory

Gosh, how I missed Glee and New Girl. The episode for Glee (in my opinion) was pretty good. Quinn definitely has her issues and the whole Shelby/Puck thing was gross, yet predictable. Damian is too stereotypical Irish. Like come on Ryan Murphy, you could have made him the suave foreign exchange student (like in the Glee Project Firework Music Video)

But nope, he sort of is a derpy, lonely character and it makes my heart go out to him (plus he got shoved into so many lockers). What really irritated me was how Santana used him and then told him to go back to where he came from. That was just mean. Santana can be funny at times when she is being mean, but that's just too cruel. What really broke my heart was when he said I thought America was all about acceptance and stuff. Man, plus he was so cute the whole time with his smile!! But I hate his hair. He should have kept it the same as when he was on Glee Project. It just looks so Elvis (??) and really big. Eww... Please fix his hair and clothes GLEE! He accent is not that Irish... I loved his songs esp. the last one.

The whole candy bar in the litter box was gross though. And they ate it. Eww...

Loved TGIF song. Blaine totally rocks those kinds of songs, I guess he's just really awesome at Katy Perry songs. It just brings a smile to your face, right?

I want Cameron to make a guest appearance!!!!!!!!

Waiting for the next Glee episode and the next episode of New Girl.

Also I never see these dancing eyebrows of Damian even though I look for them. Hmmm... They evade me.




That's normal Damian (above Picture)

One week left

One Week left until Early decision applications are due. And I am not even close!!!!! I have to finish everything in the next few days. Need to start my really long supplement. Send in my scores. Send in application money. Make sure my teachers put my recommendations online, rewrite my college essay (again!), and finish filling in college app. To all future college applicants. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!!!!!

Good luck to all!!!!! This will most definitely be one of the most stressful weeks of my life!

Cookie Cake!

I made this a long time ago with my sister. But I just discovered that I happened to have the picture of it on my PC, so I thought why not put it up? It looks yummy! Here you go!

This is just a cross section of the cookie cake. I call it a cookie cake b/c actually it is just chocolate chip cookie mix from a bag, but instead of traditionally making it into balls and baking it, I thought hey we have a cake tin, so I buttered up the cake tin thing and made the dough and squished it in and it came out like this. As you see in the cross section the inside looks very chocolatey that is b/c I think all the chocolate chips sort of melted into each other. Yum. Very fattening i'm sure. What a Pro picture taken by my sister. Yay! 

The Awkward Moment When...

The awkward moment when...
You think you're still going down the stairs when you've already reached flat ground. Yup this happened to me and I fell. It hurt. But in my defense:
1. I thought there was still one more step to go.
2. It was dark-I was walking downstairs into my basement.

Yup. That's all.

New shows

There are so many good shows to watch during the fall. I usually don't watch TV b/c I don't have like a lot of channels.
But I can watch The Amazing Race (Sun @ 8 or after 60 minutes because the football game goes on forever).

On Mon. We have How I met Your Mother @ 8. Hart of Dixie at 9. (These are all different channel fyi)

Tue. Glee @ 8. After that is New Girl @ 9.

Wed. X factor @ 8. Suburgatory @ 8:30.

Thrs. X factor @ 8. I don't usually watch this on TV but The Big Bang Theory is on @ 8. How to Be a Gentleman @ 8:30.

Nothing really on Friday.

But I'm really have to start writing my college essays!! I don't know what to write about!!!!! I want to be personal, yet quirky and intelligent. I need to finish before Oct. 25th! Because I want to do Early action for one school and Regular for everything else. I'm still so unsure. Which is bad. I took the SAT's last time on Saturday. Crossed fingers.

Then I had to do marching band after that for 4 hours and fyi our team lost. Well we aren't that good anyway. Plus the field was so muddy when we did our half time show. AP Gov't test tomorrow. I still understand NOTHING! Hamlet quiz tomorrow as well. This week is going to be BUSY.

I wish...

I wish I could be more politically aware!!!! Some may say that you can just go research that stuff, but it's harder than that (at least for me). Even if I look at the current events today they are all connected to news that has already occurred which I don't understand. Thus, I would have to goooo wayyyyy back. I wish I could understand what is going on. I mean I'm really really unaware of what is going on, seriously.

If anyone is willing to break down politics 101 for me so that I can pass my AP US Gov't class I would be much obliged. I mean like current events. Democrats, Republicans, Ron Paul, Scott Brown, Obamacare, etc. (Just throwing around some words I know)
I have been told I look like a Hamster sometimes (not literally though I think I have sort of fat cheeks...)

VS. 

(I added a sucky background I know. I have shaky hands!!!! That's why I can't take good photos either. So Me+Paint= That!) 

And Just because it's cute. 

Also to those who have lost a loved one today 10 years ago. I am sorry for your loss, even though I was quite young when the tragedy occurred, I know what a significant event that 9/11 was for this country. Actually my mom had worked there in the twin towers, but had changed jobs before 9/11 had occurred. Luckily that happened. Moment of silence... 

Make today a day for doing a good deed not just a day of remembrance. Pay it Forward (like the movie) and do a good deed for 3 people and tell them to do the same so that we can impact the world. It may just be Hi to someone you never talked to before or creating a charity to help others, but every good thought and intention goes a long way esp. in Karma pts!!!!! 

Need to get this off my mind

You know how I mentioned getting a cat. Well we have never had a real pet that did something (we had fish... yup they do nothing), so we thought we could take care of our cat. But even though it has only been 5 days we already feel the strain and the changes that having a cat has imposed on our home. I think we may return him back to the shelter (even though they are closing). The lady was very nice and she offered this option and that we should tell her ASAP so that she can find him a home.

I feel so bad about this, but I feel like it should be settled before he becomes attached to our home. He's adorable, but we just aren't a pet kind of family. Plus soon I'm off to college and I don't think my younger siblings (who are allergic to cats) can handle taking care of him. Plus he deserves better. After hearing his story it's heart wrenching to do this to him, but sometimes the best choice isn't the nicest one I guess. Before he gets too attached to us we should find him a proper loving home.

The more and more I think about it I can't imagine a fantastic future for him. We are all so busy and we are always used to doing our own things. Plus we don't let him sleep in our bedrooms (though I let him come into mine) because we all close our doors.
Actually a lot our doors are closed because of him which is irritating my grandparents due to air circulation and my mom is convinced he caused the strange smell in our house. Still don't know the answer to that one. Could be from the plant that he knocked down. I think it's best for him to find a new family. I feel so sad, but also a bit relieved. I guess I'm not cut out to be a pet person at least I know that in the future now.

Sigh.

Watch this video it's awesome!!!! They should put this on YouTube. Now I am scrambling to finish my summer assignment so I can start my College Apps essays and supplements. Aarg.

Whomever may be reading this

You that person who may have stumbled upon this pitiful blog. Thank you for reading. Oh I wish you would comment though. That would be nice. No pressure or anything.

Just saying...

It would be a nice gesture.

Sidenote: I hate how Google keeps demanding for my mobile phone number. Creeps me out. Same for Youtube. Gosh...NO THANKS. Right? Don't you want them to stop asking you too?

PASSED IT!

BOO YAH! I forgot to mention that I passed my road test with flying colors. I have been freaking out about it, but it was unbelievably easy. Haven't gotten my real licence yet, but I have a temporary one right now. But it just looks like a receipt.

Still can't really drive. My dad says I can't drive by myself. I haven't learned how to switch lanes by myself. Plus I have horrible direction sense.

My house still smells gross, but it could most likely be rotten food in our fridge. My mom pretty much threw out everything. Yup, that's what 5 days without electricity does to you. I still hope it was the food and not my cat.

Ah, the cat litter smells nice. My sister actually brought her friend to our house to see the cat and then brought her to his litter box and told her to smell it because it smells nice. Au natural!

Natural Disasters (Earthquake, Hurricane, Cat?)

Didn't blog about it, but I felt an earthquake on the East Coast (Woah). I thought I had been going crazy for a second when my chair started moving by itself and I saw the TV rock/sway. Then it was over. Just a minute. I thought I had been hallucinating or something from staring at the PC for too long (you nerds know what I mean right? It's okay I'm a nerd too or so my friends call me-though I really don't agree). 

Then after that Hurricane Irene strikes, but it got downgraded to a  tropical storm by the time it hit my state. We lost power for 5 days. I went to sleep at 8:30 for like 4 days! It was torture. I have to study for the ACT's (next sat.! ), but I was sooo bored I only studied a bit. You know that feeling that you should be doing something, but you just can't. I don't know just label me lazy. We had to use flashlights and candles. 

Then we finally convinced my parents to get a cat. Such a cutie. But he cries at night because we are all sleeping and we all close our doors. Don't know what to do. Need to sleep, but I feel bad for him. He won't stop chewing our plants and that is really irritating my parents. 

Now after our electricity finally came back yesterday there has been a funky smell in our house and my parents are blaming the cat. I think they want to un adopt him or something. Which is mean. I don't know what the smell is, but it is disgusting. It could be rotting food, but we threw it away. The cat could have gone somewhere in the house, but he knows to go in the litter box and we clean it out. Plus the litter is natural so it smells nice. Don't know where the smell is coming from!! Help!!!!!!! ANY ADVICE? 

Just watched a movie on TV called I Hate Valentine's Day. It was pretty good so go watch it!

Oh yeah, My cat is an orange Tabby who looks like Puss in the Boots. Seriously. 

Got my schedule for school (starting on Tues.). Yes I dropped out of AP Spanish and my schedule is actually pretty good and spread out evenly. Nice. Got to start College Apps or my mom will kill me. AARG. 

Going to eat diner food now. 

Hum doodle aarg

Keeping a blog (even one as shabby and not very interesting) as mine is quite difficult. I have no motivation to post anything (even though I have at times something interesting to say). I was just reading other people's blogs and how more well though out and well written they are and I let out a big SIGH. (Though sighs are our escaping happiness: Pita Ten). 

Back to work. About a week left until school. So going to drop AP Spanish, but just in case I am going to do the summer assignment. Because it will be just by luck that they won't let me drop it. Going clothes shopping this weekend hopefully. I kind of want to go to Forever 21 for the 1st time. But I'm as bit intimidated because I dress like a kid/dork. But their clothes look so cute and girly (which I like).

Should go to sleep early! Ciao! 

Ahh, driving...

After almost 10 lessons of driving I think I am Okay (I sure hope so). I drove on the highway for the 1st time, gosh I think I almost hit a car a few times. I am still unscathed, and so are my fellow civilians. My road test is next week!! EEP! School starts in 2 weeks and I still have a whole bunch of work to do, but at least I started (unlike my sister who just started reading 1 book out of 4). I am nervous because my 1st day of school of every year something always goes wrong. AARG. Please not this year!!!!!!!

Driving lessons

Taking driving lessons. Woohoo!!!! My road test is at the end of August. I hope I'm ready in time, plus I need 50 hours!!!! It is sooo hot!!! And humid. Arg, can't even go outside. 

Well, when I went to throw out some garbage and recycle some bottles there are a million flies swarming the bins. EWW!!!!! I throw the bottles and miss so I drag out the garbage bin and open it and guess what a million flies burst out! How is that possible, well according to the nasty smell drifting out I guess very possible. Scarred for life I tell you. I hate flies, that buzzing sound in your ears when they pass you by (like bees) make me shriek. Gross. 

Off to go drive! 

Gollies

Gosh, the Summer heat must be getting to me because I haven't done a thing, seriously. I'm supposed to look for a driving school, but I can't find a proper (and cheap) one, I should be studying for the SAT's and ACT's, I should be reading the books and writing out my summer assignments, I should be making a  list of colleges (finalizing it), but I still can't pick any safety or target schools. I somehow waste away everyday doing pretty much nothing good. You know the feeling when you should be doing something, but you just can't (b/c you're too lazy to do so). Plus my sister keeps rambling on and on about getting a summer job (doubt that is going to happen and since she mentioned it to our parents now they are on our case about it when I never wanted to get one in the first place)

Watching Glee Project (can't wait for next episode: Dance Ability w/ Harry Shum Jr.) Go Cameron and Damian!
Watching White Collar (or was, temp. stopping b/c I feel a bit bored with the whole FBI thing)
Watching Suits (interesting ... lawyers)

And my sister is talking to herself ... again. She likes practicing other languages by talking out loud to herself (creepy.....) Sweating a lot. So muggy. Too many mosquitoes! Too many clouds in the sky which makes it feel even worse.

Arashi's Beautiful World came out and I LOVE IT! It's 10x better than their last album (not that it wasn't good), but a lot of the songs on that album were forgettable and not as catchy as I would like. Love Sho and Nino solos. A lot of catchy songs, and I liked them on the first listen (which sometimes it takes me a few listens to like the song) So YAY! I hope they surpass their previous sales (over a million!!!) Can't wait to see how many they sold. Whoo!!!

OMG!!!!!

Super duper over the world!!!!!!!!! Just saw my report card: Straight A's!! Finally my blood, sweat, and tears have been redeemed (figuratively-as Ted would say (How I met your Mother fans anyone??))! Gosh, you know that super happy light feeling in your chest when something fantastic happens? This is one of those moments.

So recently I have been talking to my friend a lot (the one from the fight) on the phone and now my hearing is really diminishing like everything becomes fuzzy on the phone and it's hard for me to understand people. (scared!!)

Has anyone ever been "friends" with someone, but in reality you kind of hated their guts? Is that weird and mean? I mean isn't it just as mean to say, "Hey, I don't want to be friends with you anymore?" (This has happened to me before: me being the receiver of this line) (It totally crushed my 7th grader self) I mean soon I'll be Hasta la vista to her and never see her again right, so what's the point of crushing her now when I still have to face her everyday?

I mean she's seriously just irks me or rubs me the wrong way. My sister and other friend agree, but my other friend genuinely does like her so we don't say anything. Though I have tried to subtly distance myself from her to no avail. I mean I feel bad, and I try to like her, but sometimes that's just impossible!

1. She puts empty water bottles in my hood during class (that's why I stopped wearing them for a while).
2. During lunch, she throws her garbage on other people's plates and makes them throw it away. One time my friend wasn't done eating, but she thought she was and she threw her garbage on her food.
3. She likes to show off her piano skills. (One time we were working on a volunteer project thing at my house and while we were working instead of helping us she was showing off on the piano)
4. She's wrong A LOT! (I can't trust anything she says anymore) (one time she thought this walkathon was that weekend when it was really next week, I saved her the embarrassment of going to an empty school by correcting her, but there are a lot more examples than this)
5. She called me antisocial (she told my sister I was). And that is a misnomer!! Antisocial means you are really sly, charismatic, but have no conscience in doing bad things like stealing things at a party, but still talking easily to everyone. Basically a con artist.
6. Nothing in common. No common interests.

Sorry for ranting, but isn't that what a blog is for?  Just a happy pic of Sho to end this rant fest! Enjoy! Peace.

New Shirt...

I have been stalking my shirt delivery on the tracking website that came with it. And finally it came today. Yay! But, when I ripped open the package I was shocked and sad to find out that the medium I ordered looked like a large! I mean I was worried because it's hard to shop online because of all those size issues. Man, I wonder if I can shrink it in the wash or will that ruin it? I mean I don't want the collar to get smaller too because it's pretty high necked as well. Hmm... Man, I really wanted to wear it in public too. but I still like it, I just feel a bit let down you know? Officially done with all tests. So far the grades that I've gotten back have been pretty good, but fingers still crossed.

I'm a bit worried for my schedule next year because everyone keeps telling me scary things about the classes that I picked. I picked AP Gov't, but only so I could have another AP (because I feel like I don't have enough), but my sister said only hardcore people who like it take that class, and I'm not that interested in gov't. Also I dislike (hate) Spanish because I just suck at it like I do for all languages, so I'm quite wary of taking AP Spanish. Plus the teacher (there's only 1) seems scary/harsh. But if I drop these two classes and switch for easier ones: 1. I'll only have 2 AP's (compared to the 3 that I have this year), and 2. It will look like I am slacking off when I'm not, 3. I do want to challenge myself, but not overwhelm myself (I don't want to waste hours on something that I hate) 4. I dunno... I won't know until I actually take the class, but I don't want to drop and mess up my whole schedule and not to mention start over in a new class. Gosh, I dunno what to do!!!!!

Going to learn how to drive this summer!!!!! Woohoo! I've been talking on the phone a lot with my friend, and I think I'm going partially deaf. Whoops!

A Beautiful WORLD!

Arashi's new album is coming out soon, I'm super uber excited! Yay, new original songs. I am pleased to say that I finally ordered my belated Bday Present, an ARASHI (fanmade) T-shirt. Wohooo! I keep checking the status since yesterday, but nope not in production yet. It's driving me CRAZY. Two more regents to go and I've barely studied. They are tomorrow and Wed. Oh, yeah Happy Father's Day to ALL! If anyone wants a shirt that she made: http://keyzti.spreadshirt.com/ Check it out! They are moderately priced too (but, plus shipping)

Sidenote: I hate when people are calling my house asking for my parents when hullo, it's a week day so they're obviously at work. It's just this constant ringing of the phone, and everyone in my family hates picking it up, so we just let it ring a few times hoping someone else will get soooo annoyed that they will pick it up.

I heard the Green Lantern had a lukewarm reaction at the box office, coincidentally my friend just saw it two days ago, and said it was okay. The trailer looks interesting, but they always are, but then the movie ends up being lame (though Kung Fu Panda 2 sure wasn't!) Though I did like Ryan Reynolds in the Proposal with Sandra Bullock (she's awesome)!

Finally my SAT School finished. Freedom!!! NOT!

Off to study. .... Yes I will.
~Hiatus on the Would you Rathers because I've been lacking in some good ones for a while now.

Kung Fu PANDA 2!

Yes, I finally saw it!! It was sooo funny, cute, and sad (Po was such a cute baby panda). Man, I'm so going to watch it again on DVD because I really had to go to the restroom so I ducked out and apparently when I came back I missed a really funny part. Dang! Go watch it! My friends have been bugging me to watch Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part 2, but I can't because I haven't seen part 1 yet! School's out, but I still have finals and regents.


WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Be Po, the Dragon Warrior or Hardcore Tigress of the Furious Five?

JaPanda! You would understand this if you watched Love Shuffle, an amusing Japanese Drama. Ooh, new Arashi PV came out. Watch it!

I think it's over

I think the fight is over... Still waiting. Anyhoo, super busy for the next month (finals, end of school, final projects, SAT II's this weekend and as usual I procrastinated and didn't study nada, ACT's next weekend and still procrastinating) Golly, I seriously got to stop doing this. I think I have enough time and then WHAM! it's here and I didn't study. Golly. Anyway, Nigahiga and co. have made a amusing (yet somewhat mean) song that is catchy which I will go buy on itunes now because I like it soooo much. Watch it if you haven't. Did I mention I like playing Neopets, yes my goal is to get to Ultimate RICHES!! WHOO!

Here's the link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfeys7Jfnx8&feature=feedu

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Still be in High school or Out there in the real world?

Speech

Douglas H. Everett once said “There are some people, who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.” I want to be one of those people. I have never had a future aspiration, but I have had many unrealistic dreams. I wasn’t the kid who wanted to be the doctor or the firefighter when I was 5. Even now, I haven’t a clue on what I want to do.

But from my avid devotion to televised competition shows I have jumped from occupation to occupation, in my dreams of course. So at a time, I have dreamt of being a chef, interior designer, restaurateur, writer, etc. But soon I tire of such fantasies, and I return to clueless me. Not a clue on what to do.

This past week I have been trying to borrow the dreams of others for this competition, sadly this is what I resorted to, but I also found out that others are just as unsure as me, though one did say she would like to be able to fly, that would be nice, except I’m terrified of heights so I guess not.

Though it isn’t a good thing to not know what you want to do, it isn’t surprising to find out that others are just as clueless as me because this time period as defined by Erikson is Identity vs. Role Confusion. So teenagers like me are pretty much meant to be this way. We don’t know what we want to do, how to get there, so we just keep trying new things out to find our true selves.

So if the world is supposedly going to end today, than my dream has to be that I it doesn’t. And as Lewis Carroll once said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.”  

Yup this was the speech and guess what, my mom is making me go to the semi finals!!!! ARG! I don't want to! I hope I suck so bad that they won't let me go to the finals.

Yup the fight continues. I found out a few days ago that the real reason she is mad at my sister (and me?) is because she wants to beat this record that she has set when she gives her mom the silent treatment. I feel bad for her mom all the time. Yup. Which is a really spoiled kid move and like who does that?? I now think that this friendship cannot be saved. Thank Goddess I'm going to college soon. I already have this list of people that I avoid because of ruined friendships. Wow, I'm really not a people person. Darn now I have to return her Wii games to her.

Got a Haircut!

Hmm... I have been trying to grow my hair out because I always wanted like waist long hair, and I was getting like almost halfway there, but my mom decided we should all get a haircut so HACK goes all my hard work. Arg. It's a bit short now and I got my hair straightened for the 1st time (and hopefully last) because straightening your hair is BAD for you! Today was actually really hot for once after a whole week of rain, this actually sucks for me because I decided to wear like 3 layers of clothing. I was sweaty and itchy and I have a cold/allergy??

My mom made me go to a speech contest and the theme was, "My Dream" Gosh, what a horrible prompt. So I'm a sad sad person, because I don't have a dream. So my speech basically sucked, really bad. I was like shaking the whole time while I read off the paper. If I remember, I'll retype it up and show the world my suckiness. I sure golly hope the world doesn't end today. (I mentioned that in my speech as my dream: sad) But hey, I had to say something!

The fight continues between my sister and BFF. They still refuse to make up. It's been almost a week and pure torture. It's like deadly silence at lunch, you know how awkwardly horrible that is??????????

Got published in a poetry contest, wonder if I should buy the book (costs like $25) hmm...

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
See the world end today or Not?

(Easy Question... I hope.)

Today's a depressing day

My sister and my BFF are fighting. Plus today is a dreary, rainy day. They are fighting because my BFF's sister called my sister a weebo: look it up. So my sister got really angry and stormed off because she's not one. And now my BFF is mad at her too for some reason as well. Arg. And now I'm stuck in the middle, and I feel so depressed. I can't seem to get them to make up. I will never be a foreign diplomat because I might cause WWIII.

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Live in a place that never rains or Live in a place that always rains?

Even #'s

Oh, man. I wish I wasn't so OCD about everything. I hate crooked things and odd #'s. Even #'s rule esp. the number 4!!!!!!!!!!!! Uh, yup that's all I wanted to say.

YES!!

Finally, AP week is DONE! I want summer to come. Watching House MD, right now. Really behind on this season. Also, just saw the Prom Queen episode of Glee. Eh. Kind of knew the ending because of spoilers.

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Be House from House MD or Barney Stinson from How I met your Mother?

What a cutie! Don't ya think? >.< Look at that smile. Kya.

SHAKE FIST!

It's late, 1 am. My brain is deprived of Oxygen, and AP in 2 days, yeah, studying not going so great. Plus SAT's on Saturday, and that too I have procrastinated! The big problem is that my sister and I have signed up for the June SAT 2's and ACT's . But she idiotically signed up for the SAT 1's by accident. So now her mistake is causing me stress. Seriously, my stomach is all in knots for her and my heart is racing and I feel worried. Plus these tests are expensive, so I feel guilty for her. Because their is a cost to change the test from 1 to 2. So I just feel worried!!! ARG. Going to sleep. Can't even do a would you rather.

1 down, OMG there's more?

1st AP down, 2 more to go. One on Friday, still not done learning the course and haven't begun to review yet. I'm so screwed. For this one, I crammed this morning for 3 hours, so I think I basically failed. So if I get a 5 (which I doubt) it will be a MIRACLE! SAT's Saturday, and guess what I procrastinated... again. So... worried about that. 2nd time taking it too, not good. Plus I got my ACT scores back, and I idiotically sent them to colleges for some reason, I don't know why I thought you had to put them in. I thought you could choose whether or not you want to send them later. And now I can't cancel them. So now I seriously wonder if I'm going to be able to get into college. AARG! And of course more procrastination today, I was watching Two Weeks Notice with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. It was actually pretty good.

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Amputate your arm by yourself with no anesthesia or be stuck in between two cliffs and have your arm ripped from your shoulder?

Yeah, I'm feeling a bit sad/ depressed today, so the would you rather was a bit brutal. Sorry, I'll try for a happier one next time... If I remember.

Royal Wedding

Hmm... Sure the Royal Wedding is a humongous event, but people are being a bit over the top about it. With the fridges with their faces on it and the clothes and other strange items. I haven't seen the wedding on TV, but I did see a picture of them together. Sadly disappointed, all the hype about her super secret dress, and what a let down. I mean it was nice, but not princess  like. I saw Princess Diana's dress and it was princessy and puffy.

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Be invited to the Royal Wedding OR win a million dollars tax free?

TIRED!

I was just at school from 7 to 9:30pm for AP review. Had to sit on the radiator because there were no seats. It felt really awkward when it suddenly turned on and it was blowing cold air from underneath me. It's very foggy today. Crunch time, AP's starting next week and May SAT! *Pulling out hair* Oh, why did I waste April break not studying? Still not done with the curriculum for some classes. 3 days left to restudy the WHOLE year. Wow.

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Sleep outside on the grass OR Be stuck in a filthy jar for 2 hours?

I love Boston Cremes! Yum.

Gotta stop eating so much Hi Chew

Man, I'm eating way too much Hi Chew (a Japanese candy). It's really yummy. Though I've eaten like 3 sticks of it, which is like 25 pieces, give or take some. I think I will definitely get cavities now. I'm eating the strawberry one which taste and smell like strawberry fruit roll up. Yum! It's very windy now and both of my windows are open and my papers are blowing everywhere. It's probably going to rain later, if not, then tomorrow.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Just watched it. Since I went in with some pretty low expectations, It turned out to be really good. Man, I should have watched this in theaters instead of The Last Airbender (which totally ruined the cartoon-which I love(ed)). I mean the only good thing about that movie was the bending. Everything else kind of sucked. Couldn't they have used like Asian people? Hullo? Plus they couldn't pronounce their names. Seriously? Watch the cartoon for references!

Anyhoo, My favorite scences in the Sorcerer's Apprentice was the part when Dave and Becky were in the cage and the telma things were shooting electricity and making sounds (esp. the song Secrets by One Republic). It actually sounds cooler in the movie than the actual music video, but it's still good. Go cello and violin! Check out both of these videos!

Oh, yeah. Today is nice weather for once. So I'm going outside to play some badminton, hopefully not too sunny because I tan very easily which I don't like.

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Tan easily OR Not tan easily?

OMG, In the trailer (and I don't think this part was in the movie, but I was just watching it and it was super funny) right in the beginning, Dave was like "I'm afraid of flying on planes!" and Balthazar replied, "Well, today's your lucky day, I brought an eagle." Uh, It's not as funny when I do it, but seriously watch the trailer, it's funny.

Movie Trailers

Movie trailers are so misleading. They take the most interesting parts, funniest parts, scariest parts, whatever and put it in the trailer. It makes you think the movie is good. So you go pay like 12 dollars for a ticket, more if you decide to actually cough up 20 dollars for snacks that aren't good for you, not to mention way overpriced.

But luckily I (except once in a while) don't fall for the trap. Nope. I wait for the DVD, and say to myself "Good thing I didn't see this in theaters." Yes this is sad, but whatever. Plus at movie theaters you can't pause or lower the sound. So if you go to the bathroom (again person with small bladder) you will miss something.

Especially if you have high expectations for a movie, you are almost always sadly disappointed. When Avatar came out (the one with the blue people) everyone was saying it was the BEST movie ever. So I finally got it on DVD and with those high expectations and I was totally bored (fine exaggeration, but I was waiting for something spectacular to happen, but it was a bit cliche). It wasn't horrible, but totally not worth the hype.

But if you have low expectations, sometimes you are pleasantly surprised. I thought "Oh, Tangled is going to be cheesy and overdone, but it turned out to be awesome, even though I missed out on the beginning because we were late to the theater. So I felt really stupid (along with my friends) when we were like Oh, She's the Princess (but according to my other friend who had already seen it without us, in the beginning they told us she was the Princess) we're so smart we figured it out. FAIL. But whatever. Plus there were only like 5 other people there and they were like little kids with their moms. We were the only ones laughing though, and I think a mom death glared at us. It was so cute when the little girl was very sad when the main guy (forgot his name) was dying and she was exasperated. But if you haven't seen it, go get it on DVD.

Below is a link to a funny THE BIG BANG THEORY clip. I couldn't find the video itself on the video thingy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz5Q2_m-rVY

Why?

Why does American pop music have
1. No interesting themes besides partying or love?
2. Overly repeat words and phrases
3. Brainwash the youth of America?
Why does rap music have so much cursing?
I'm mostly concerned because my younger sister loves listening to Z100 and she listens to things that have profanities and songs by Ke$ha that have bad themes like drinking and partying, etc.
Super disappointed. That's why I like listening to songs in other languages because the lyrics are more poetic and well crafted with meaning and there are different themes besides partying and love. Plus no profanities! I hate when people curse in songs, it may have nice music and a good beat, but as soon as the words come out *cringe*

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Be paid to be stuck in a room for a year OR Do what you love for free?

NOOO. Sad day in Amazing Race History.

No, the Cowboys lost. They were sooo close, but the Globetrotters beat them to the Double U TURN. I'm super duper sad. The Cowboys were my favorite team of all time. I've seen like 6 seasons and so far they have been the best. Moral wise, ability, and awesomeness. Plus a real cowboy's hat never comes off. Well, now I'm hoping Gary and Mallory win now.

Ahh. The smell of spring... kind of sucks

Today is not raining for once. Though I'm sure it will tomorrow. It is sunny and warm. I love spring and fall, but only on a nice cool, breezy, slightly sunny day. When the grass is green and there are these fat, white, puffy clouds lazily floating in the bright blue sky. I hate the warm, pollen, musty, cow manure (fertilizer) smell like today. I also really hate bees because the buzzing sound freaks me out. But anyhoo, today is another episode of the amazing race! Off to Austria! Cowboys ftw. Oh, the picture underneath is from Google. Just an example of what a nice spring day should look like. Look at that sky, gorgeous.

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Be stung by a bee and be allergic to it OR step into a pile of cow manure?

Oh, Yeah. Happy Earth DAY!

I love how Google makes these cute pics that remind us (the people who rarely look at the corner of their calendars) for days like today or just random awesome occurrences. One of my favorite ones so far was the one when they were celebrating the ___ anniversary (dunno the number) of Pacman. It turned out you could actually play pacman on it. Super duper coolness. For the earth day one if you move your cursor over the animals and waterfall, etc they move! Ooh, technology. On that subject, my sister is a total twitter nut. She was skeptical at first, but now it like totally takes over her life. The first thing she does as soon as she gets home is check twitter, seriously. She logs on the PC or grabs the ipad or some technological device. And then other times she proceeds to sing (into a mike that she bought and I went with her and my BFF to buy it with her at Best Buy which she spent FOREVER choosing) all the time or chat with her buddies from around the world. AARG! I can't stand the constant singing/karaoke. She doesn't go to sleep until 4 AM like almost everyday (well i wouldn't know because like a good girl I go to sleep before that, lately though I have been sleeping a bit late like 12 or 1 AM) And guess who has to drag her out of bed almost every morning. MOI! Not to mention she's super slow in the morning. Because it's uber cold in our house. Colder than outside. Yup, a winter wonderland. Well, I guess I shouldn't rant too much about her. *crosses fingers she never stumbles upon this blog, but being such a twitter manic I doubt she trolls blogs* Anyhoo, I was just watching Bob the Butler on Youtube, when I really should be doing my SAT hw. Ahh, more memories. What a good movie. I love how when he (Bob) slaps the pig gas or hot air is bursting out of it and then it lights on fire and BOOM! Pig EXPLOSION!!!!!!!!

You know what nachos kind of suck. No offense to nacho lovers, but I have yet to stumble upon good tasting nachos. My brother constantly orders them (like today), but they turn out sucking and no one wants to eat it so he wastes so much food, but consumes incredible amounts of junk food.

On a happy note, umm... HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!!!! WHOOO!  That *points to picture above* is Aiba Masaki from ARASHI. What a happy smile, I hope y'all (trying to convey a southern accent on the internet-sorry no offense to people who do say y'all) smile like that today.

It's a Wong Fu Weeeekends!!!!!

Ah. Wong Fu Productions, esp. Wong Fu Weekends are super duper funny and adorable. Ted and his toys and cats, Phil and his hugging of balls, Wes and ... his plain awesomeness! Goshies. I wish they had been at the college that I had visited today. Williams College in MA, but it is actually way closer to Albany than Boston. And basically in the middle of NOWHERE. We drove through the mountains and on the highways for hours. There is literally a Mickey D's at every rest stop which we stopped A LOT. Family of weak bladders. And then ironically we'd buy more liquids and be on our jolly (or by the time we got there not so jolly, more grumpy with bum pains than anything else) way. It's quaint, but not for me. Wayyyy to rural. Literally surrounded by mountains. Pretty much from every spot on campus you can spot a mountain. Yup, plus not too many decent restaurants. Gas sure is high these days. Over 4 bucks and rising!
Today's would you rather question is:

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Be tied to a tree for 48 hrs. with no one around OR stuck in a car for 1 day with the people you hate more than anything else with an obnoxiously bad driver?

Checking out Colleges

Went to Yale and Columbia today. I wasn't even thinking of going to Yale, but after the Info. session and campus tour, it just seemed so nice. Now I'm thinking about it. Also went to Columbia, but missed the info session, but jumped onto a random tour that was halfway done. Hmm... It smelled there. Because of either the garbage cans or the fertilizer. I think the latter of the two. I want to see UPenn now and Northwestern, maybe Boston college and Boston university and NYU. Hmm... I wonder what's a good major for me... La di da di dum.

WOULD YOU RATHER? 
Tip a cow (and kill it-aww don't do that) OR ride a bull (an angry one)?

Side note: My mom just bought me some dumbbells. YAY! It's just 8 lbs. Yeah, I'm weak.

Today's a lazy day

Man, today is definitely a lazy day (thank goddess for spell check or I'd be misspelling things left and right >.<) No matter how hard I try to do work today, I either end up wasting my time watching interesting videos on Youtube or just plain lazing around. Don't you hate it when you nap too long and your head starts hurting? Glarg. I'm very much behind on work: even though I planned on getting a lot accomplished during April Break (ULTIMATE FAIL). Hmm. Blogging seems kind of fun. You can rant all you want and no one really cares... I guess.  Anyways, back to work, or until I get distracted again. "Over yonder a Monkey"-Country Bears. *cue me running away* 

WOULD YOU RATHER
Have everything be black and white OR Lose your sense of smell (thus affecting your sense of taste)?

One of my Favorite quotes

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." 
— Marilyn Monroe

This quote is so amazing within itself. I love a good quote. One of my favorite sites to troll around on when looking for inspiration or essays is thinkexist.com

Don't you just LOVE!!

Don't you just love when you learn something new it pops up EVERYWHERE! Like a ninja! WAPA! Knowledge opens so many new doors especially in the media. Like today I was watching the AMAZING RACE season 18 (Sundays at 8-Cowboys ftw) and they mentioned Freud and since I take AP Psych I knew who he was was. A total AHA moment! Or when you learn a new word, you see it everywhere! Doesn't it make you wonder about all the words that pass you by because you never noticed them? Hmm... On another note, My circadian rhythm is totally messed up. I have been sleeping late (addicted to the internet) the past few weeks  (at 12 am to 1 am, when I used to go to bed at 11 pm, 11:30 pm latest). Going to sleep now (uh, after I watch some funny Wong Fu Productions videos, hehe) >.< 

Oh, the Good 'ol days!

Ah, I get made fun of (by my friends, but still) of how I love childish things. Sure there are the people who are die hard Pokemon fans, but that is a bit different. What's wrong with things like Power rangers (sure at times they are a bit lame, corny, and the fight sequences are kind of sad, not to mention boring, with little plot besides fighting said villains), it doesn't stop me from still happily enjoying it. Sure no one likes the Country Bears movie, but I do. It tickles my heart, sort of, though I haven't seen it is a while. And what about the Disney movies/shows? They used to be pretty good, now their lame and boring, and totally predictable. And after high school musical everything is music centered. I can't stand random bursts of song and dance. What is with that? I mean that's what I thought Glee would be like, but when I actually watched an episode it was pretty addicting and so not like high school musical (though they do burst out in song and dance sometimes randomly), but most of the time it's for legit reasons. 

1st entry-hmm.

Well, this might just be the most boring 1st (or any) entry in all of blog history, but I really just wanted to post for the heck of it! WHOO! I did. My life is now complete. Just surfing the net trying to put together some sort of list of colleges to tell my parents to show them that I am heading in some sort of direction. Aarg!
But to cheer me up and anyone else having an oh so gloomy day. Please enjoy the following picture of my favorite idol group-ARASHI. For anyone out their saying HUH? Check them out, they are super hilarious and an awesome ball of wonderful. Great for sad days, happy days, and all sorts of days.
