Katherine, aka MidoriChi, is a 17-year-old Chinese Filipina who lives in California. She is currently a senior and her hobbies include web design, drawing, reading, dancing, listening to music, playing videogames and piano, writing fiction, and talking on the phone. Her main music genres are Independent Rock and J-Rock/Pop but tries to be open minded.
Yesterday was a blast. XD Dolt and I spammed gundamaniac's livejournal. Heehee....^^ Just look at the ones with the uber amounts of comments. XDD There's the one with only 32 comments and the one beneath it, "Turkey Day", has 76 comments. Muwahahaha!
So much fun. He's not happy though. Haha. Go to wearenotworthy for other crazy rants. ^_^
But do not worry, I submitted my Saint Mary's College of California Application last night too. Yay!! WOOT! Now I'm off to go finish my evil Calculus homework...damn...I don't wanna do it.
Oh well, things must be done. Once that's over with and all the apps are finished, I'm free!!! ::runs around randomly::
Today, in Spanish, we completely went off topic. We started talking about how the food sucks in the cafeteria now. We talked about that, in ENGLISH, for about an hour. Heehee....then we started talking about Spanish poetry and it got boring again. T_T
Oh...and after school, IKZ shaved off, literally, all of Sam's hair in physics today. It was so cool. ^.^
Oh...and club pictures this morning was alright. It's always fun walking back and forth across the gym to take pictures because you've signed up for some many different clubs. And I mean actually signed up...not like Dan and Ed who just try and be in as many pictures as possible. XD 5 clubs down....4 more next week. Haha
12 FREAKIN' days until WINTER RECITAL!! T_T

Monday, November 28, 2005Just kidding. I finished all my college recommendations last night. XD At 2:00 am...so technically this morning...but that's getting into details. ::whacks away the details::
It was quite amusing seeing many seniors scrambling around the library this morning during 1st period try to get all their college recommendations done. ^_^ I'm not the only procrastinator! Yay! XD
Poor Jaymee though. She just got back from Oregon...so in order to finish everything, she skipped journalism. (That delinquent!) XD KP and I helped her scramble around also. I hope she finished everything.
But yes!! I have officially submitted my UC applications!! Muwahahaha! ::feels accomplished:: ^__^ Now I have a few weeks to sit around and stew in my worries of blatant rejection. ::mopes::
I just have to finish my other 80 gazillion applications. ::sighs:: You know...last night, I used up every single one of the stamps that my parents bought. Exactly every single one. O_O The last stamp went on the last envelope. It was like.....::pause::....destiny. XDD
Alright! Enough with the mellow dramatics. ^_^ I don't wanna go back to school!!!!! ::clings to a post screaming her head off about stupid senior year:: AHEM.... ¬_¬
Listening to Franz Ferdinand makes me quirky...I just figured that out. XD
It is very cold right now. I think I'm losing the feeling in my fingers. Great....
Oh! I saw anayufan yesterday. He dropped off tickets for his Filipino folk dance floorshow on Saturday. I'm excited. >^.^< Nyao!
In Christian Vocations today, we had sex ed. =.= That was quite...um...interesting. I spent mainly the entirety of the class doodling. Haha. Apparently the female reproductive organs vaguely resemble the Chicago Bulls emblem....
I'm almost done with my Common Application for Saint Mary's College of California. Maybe I'll just send it to everyone else if I'm that lazy...
13 FREAKIN' days until WINTER RECITAL!! T_T

Saturday, November 26, 2005[edit] Oh...I forgot to mention, my dad went to Fry's yesterday. ^_^ He actually got up early to get in line to shop. O_O XDD Anyways...he completely read my mind. He bought pepperspray. XD That's all.... ^^;; [/edit]
Well, let's just say that this morning was a complete, COMPLETE, waste of my time. We drive for about an hour to pic up my senior portraits, and they are closed. ::nods:: Yes...closed. ::angry pause:: I don't even know why we have to go pick the pictures up as a family...a family. Geez. The only good thing that came out of our little "family outing" is that I finally got to pick up my Franz Ferdinand album that had been on hold at the library for like a week. Yay! ^_^ I'm listening to it right now. ::bounces head to rhythm::
Now...I encourage all of you to read epicyclical's review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire because even though it's long. I enjoyed it. ^_^ Did I ever mention that Cassandra Claire is my hero/heroine? XDD Click here for the review.
Almost done with my UC apps. Just need to write the personal statements. XD ¬.¬;;

Wednesday, November 23, 2005I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow besides eating. XD I don't know where...when...how...with who...maybe I should figure that out before I get left behind. Haha...
Today was quite interesting (good interesting...don't worry). ^_^ I started today at around 2 am working on Spanish, Physics, college recommendations stuff....the usual. Had to wake up extra early because school started early today. Why? Because we got out early!! (duh!) Haha. ^.^
Well...needless to say...I woke up late. And my dad was dawdling (sp?) ...DAWDLING!! With three minutes to spare this morning....my dad dropped me off at the farthest spot possible from my Government class. T_T And it's very hard to run with a backpack, physics book, three folders for teacher recs, and flipflops. ::cries:: A lot of other people were, literally, running late too. XDD I saw ALeez and BLam (who told me I had 1 1/2 minutes left). And to top it all off...it was very cold this morning. So...I was awake. Yup...very awake then. XD
For the most of government class, Gundamaniac and I talked about Kurei/Renge cosplay ideas for Fanime again. We're having trouble. We don't want it to look like a jacket. XD
Physics was more work but oh well...we technically don't have homework. ::shrugs::
Brunch. XD That was interesting in itself. KP was struggling to finish all the physics classwork (such a good girl) and I was stressing over a huge Don Quijote exam for Spanish. You know...I realize when you separate yourself from the group during lunch to study...people seek you out. O_O Not good when you actually want silence and solitude. Haha...I need to go on another retreat. ^^;;
So yeah...I was really cold during lunch too. But Lawrence was nice enough to let me suck away his body heat (I hope that doesn't sound dirty...¬_¬;;) Basically...I placed my cold hands on his neck and hands...he's my official hand warmer. ^_^ (Innocent I swear...)
Spanish was not terrible but not decent. The ONE, one, question I don't fully understand she calls me on...and of course...I can't answer it. ::sighs:: I hope my Quijote essay went well...watch...at the end of the semester I'll have a C or something...::goes in corner and cries::
After school was fun though. ^_^ KP and I changed into jeans and went our separate ways. She went to see Rent. Lucky girl. TELL ME, HOW WAS IT?! XD
I dawdled before meeting up with Stephy, Ponce, Curtis, and Ed at the 600 lot. Sorry. >.< Didn't matter anyway. Because we temporarily broke Ed's car because Stephy wanted to see if she fit in his trunk. O.o;; So his trunk wouldn't close...and then his car wouldn't start...XD We were going to see Walk the Line but oh well. We hung out at the mall...when we finally got there. XD Ed and Ponce were racing. ::clings to seat:: That was a little scary with the speeding and stuff. FOOD!! We sure ate a lot. Playing pool was fun too. Ponce and Ed are pretty good. Except later on, Ponce started getting distracted~ XD ::glances at Stephy::
Stephy was getting lessons from Ponce. I was playing decently...I don't really know about Curtis. XD He was just....um...chilling.
Much fun though. I hope we see a movie next time....I want more popcorn...!! XD
Note to self: Reminder to put MACE on my shopping list. ^^;;
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Tuesday, November 22, 2005My long happy rant about the fall drama. ^_^
The fall drama was really good. ^_^ I liked it. Alex did a really nice job. "Did I not tell you that I like muffins!" XD The one who played Jack, Andrew, (the other double that you didn't see, maniac) was really cute. When Jillian was played with his hair his face was hilarious. The lights bothered me a little. But the one who played Ms Prism was acting so much that she put on this ridiculous high pitched voice which was hilarious when she said certain words. I'd tell you guys to see it, but you've either already seen it, or it doesn't matter because last night was closing night. Haha. Very good. Jessica looked really pretty too. Oh! And Kenny did a marvelous job as the flirtatious old preacher/doctor dude. ^_^
Gundamaniac and I had a nice conversation about what to cosplay as at FanimeCon (which I still have to convince my parents for me to go to because we're graduating on that stupid weekend =.=;;; ... ::sighs::)
Anyways...I've settled on Renge from Flame of Recca. Man...I love that series. The manga rocks! ^_^ So yeah...if I pay for the fabric I get a costume for once! Yay! I'm excited. Even though I'm not blonde, I'll be an Asian version of Renge. I hate her though. She must DIE!! Muwahahaha!
Ahem... Now I've been introduced to the world of cosplay...well I've already been because I've been to FanimeCon for three years now...I mean...actually cosplaying. ^_^ Gundamaniac got me hooked on Cosplay websites....they're fun to look at. ::nods::
So that's that....Today was kind of boring. Well...this morning during 1st period was alright. KP and I crashed IKZ's physics H class because they were doing their pasta bridge testing today. Poor first period. I hope he gives them lots of extra credit later. ::hugs ollau:: But Luffy in another period, her bridge held up 165lbs(?) [or is it kilos?] O_O She's so cool....
Christian Vocations was alright too because all he did was lecture about sexuality and say a bunch of men vs. women jokes which were pretty funny. ^_^
English....boring....
LUNCH! Now that was fun. ^_^ I got, literally, picked up by Lawrence, Ponce, and BLam. XDDD Stephy picked me up too. But that doesn't count as much because the guys picked me up with the legs and everything. You know...like the groom carrying his bride off after a wedding? Like that. That was fun. I was really energetic after that. Yup...
Calculus...I felt bad. I didn't finish the homework again. But then we went on a huge tangent again about swimming and a guy almost getting castrated during a water polo game and almost drowning when large drunken fat guys who can't swim push you underwater trying to breathe. Yeah...I love my Calculus class. ^_^
I really need to catch up on everything....this is driving me insane. Seriously...and there's only 3 weeks until the semester's over! According to my parents, my grades are dying....T_T

Sunday, November 20, 2005[edit] Yeah...so Livejournal's dead right now. ::sniff:: I hope they fix it soon. [/edit]

That's it. I'm screwed. Buy my coffin and reserve a space at the closest cemetary because Katherine isn't getting any sleep at all. =.=;;
You'd think I learned....but I didn't. ::sighs::
MidoriChi cast magic spell(s) @ 12:10 p.m.!
Saturday, November 19, 2005I woke up this morning with dread. That's all I have to say. Why? Well...I had a quiz for Portrait of the Artist of the Floating World and I did not finish reading what we were supposed to have read. Not good. ::shakes head::
Why you ask did I not finish my homework? I'm an internet junkie. I've gone so long without internet...that I can easily waste time at a computer if it has internet. Yup. Sad, huh?
So yeah. I simply comment on gundamaniac. But then, that comment turned into 61 comments in less than an hour. Why? We started using it like aim. ::looks away in shame:: You should go see it. ^_^ It's not hard to find, unless he deleted all the comments....then you'll never find it. But it's rather amusing because there were so many comments that lj started to collapse them and then no one could read the new comments. Everything was scattered.
Dolt eventually just opened a new account so we can ramble. ^_^ So now...we ramble at wearenotworthy. ^_^ Our own personal site. YAY!
Now....yesterday....Calculus was embarrasing because I didn't get to do any of the homework due to last night's fiasco. Did I forget to mention that I talked to BLam for roughly 1 hour and a half after the comment crazy stuff? Well, we did. Over nerdy things too. Internet=badness....
English...was boring. It's boring now. And I have an English Patient essay due Monday and I haven't opened the book to start brainstorming. Ack....
Christian vocations was fun. We did absolutely nothing. I didn't know why we were even there.
Then for Service club we packed boxes up for a Thanksgiving Food drive. My hands are still incredibly sore. "The boxes aren't that heavy. You can carry them individually" by ass busbin. After the first box, my arms were going to fall off. It wasn't just be either. Caitlin was in pain. My mom called me and my hands were shaking like crazy, so much, that I could not answer the phone. I missed the freaking phonecall because I couldn't hit the answer button.
Now...to the good stuff. Ponce arrived 10 minutes late. Then Stephy and him kind of dawdled a little because he needed to change and she wasn't packed. So I went to wash my hands because they were sticky from handling sugar and gross from crushing cardboard boxes. So yeah...instead of leaving 4:00 as planed...we left at 4:30-ish. Ack.
We go to the theater at around 4:50. We got terrible seats. The second row from the front. It was like Imax, except, you know, not~. BLam's car with Curtis and gundamaniac left 20 minutes before us, and we got there before them!! O.o Stephy and I both gave them directions. Next time....Curtis get's the map. ::points angrily at the boys:: If they hadn't gotten lost and followed Yahoo! Maps like they were supposed to then they would have probably gotten us better seats. It's not our fault that Ponce's band crew was late....::whine::
Anyways...so basically Curtis and I finished an entire bag of popcorn. I feel like a pig now. XD The movie was pretty good for such a close proximity. I think I have to see it again because it's hard to see what's going on when you can basically only see 3/4 of the screen. I thought it went by rather too fast. Oh well...that's what you get when you keep switching directors. The last guy for PoA was really good. I like him. Where'd he go? XD
I rather liked it though. The music was alright even though it wasn't the Star Wars guy. I can't say much at the moment because I don't want to spoil a lot for you. ^_^ See how nice I am? The best part about seeing it the day of coming out....the reactions of the entire theater. The cheering and clapping kind of annoyed me....but the guy in the very front row was funny. When Harry was talking to Rita Skeeter..."She's going to hit on him!" XDD Curtis and I had a laugh. Then the guy kept yelling out..."Pedaphile" whenever it was Hermione and Vicktor Krum scenes. Yes...quite funny, the movie...and the audience.
Cho has a Scottish accent. O.o;; I did not know that....
Cedric Diggory looks pretty hot when he's soaking wet... ^_^
Hmm...I cried a little. A bit of a tear jerker...but then again I'm a little sensative to movies. (I cried during Flipper when I was 9-years-old)
So yeah...it wasn't better than PoA but still rather good. Go watch it. These are only my opinions. I guess maybe I had super super high expectations for it since GoF is my favorite book out of the six so far. ::shrugs:: I want to see it again anyway.
The people behind us brought their lighsabers and a guitar. The guy with the guitar played the HP theme before the movie started so that was cool. Gundamaniac was sad that he didn't bring his own. ::pats back::
They left the ferret scene in there...one of the few details (even though he cut a lot of major details). So that made me happy. ^.^
We left the theater as one of the last. Then Curtis, Ponce, Stephy, and I went to dinner with Stephy's mom and BLam and gundamaniac went home. I forgot to mention, gundamaniac dressed up as a Slytherin quidditch player. ^_^ NICE! And no Slytherin bashing! I rather like that House. ::glares:: Draco Malfoy gets nicer looking every year.
And...as we were leaving the theater...everyone in line for the next movie was practically asian. XDD Rather funny. Asian invasion!! There was this one guy dressed up as a Gryfindor in school uniform with the scarf and stuff. He turned around...::gasps:: Asian and GORGEOUS! Absolutely GORGEOUS. Very nice. ::stares::
Dinner was fun. We went to Santana Row and ended up wandering around for 1/2 an hour because we had to wait for our table. Singaporean food...yum. ^_^ I would write more details...but did I forget to mention, my arms hurt? ::mumbles something about mr busbin lying::
MidoriChi cast magic spell(s) @ 11:52 a.m.!
Thursday, November 17, 2005Hmm...nothing too special happened today. Except Physics was a blast. ^_^ Absolute blast!!
Here's a few quotes...
IKZ: Is it called left breast?
Class: What?
Tom: What is he writing?!
Nik: He's filling out the shirt order form! That's where the logo goes!
IKZ: ::gives a disturbed look at Tom::
Out of context...that quote is so funny. ^_^
I had another one....but now I can't remember. >.< Oh well...just one quote then. XD
Oh...I stole gundamaniac's light saber today at lunch, because we needed to go to class and he was sitting on the ground, sleeping. My plan did not work though. He eventually came to class. ^^;; But then I started a riot about his light saber and everyone wanted to play with it in government. XDD Look what I did....>.<
MidoriChi cast magic spell(s) @ 05:44 p.m.!
Wednesday, November 16, 2005So yeah. I go to bed late last night because of stupid James Joyce's sermon about hell which took me forever...and I finally just gave up. >.< Then I had to study for a Christian Vocations quiz about the Ordained Ministry and Religious life. I gave up on that too. I planned to study for it this morning during 1st period, since I don't have a 1st period.
Well, guess what. Didn't study during first period. I really should not sit next to Stephy if I intend to get work done. Why? She increases my ADD ten times fold. Yeah. Not good.
I pretty much went into the class blind. The quiz/test (or quest OR twiz) wasn't very fun. Too much guessing and I suck at guessing. Terrible!!
Afterwards though....we took another quiz. Except this quiz was for extra credit if anyone got 100%. So we're all like...BRING IT ON! Needless to say...we were expecting some sort of survey...your opinion stuff. Nope. A quiz on the sexual organs of both male and female it was. XDD Yes...quite eventful. ^^;; Surprisingly, it was pretty hard. The funny part is that almost half the girls in my class know more about the male physique than their own. So true. Their body parts are so straight forward...while ours....we've got latin names and stuff. Things I've never ever heard of or just ignored during health class. XD
I guess it just proves that guys (no offense >.<) are really truly simple minded because their sex organs are so simple and straightforward. XDD While girls on the other hand, we've got so many different levels and organs that just don't make sense. We're so complicated. @_@
In the end, surprisingly, 4 people got the extra credit. ^_^ Good job Brian. In a weird way...
Then in English, we got free chocolate and carrot cakes. XDDDD Apparently, Mr. C went to some dinner party last night and didn't want the cakes so he brought it for us. Needless to say, everyone simply scarfed it down. There was none left. Yum. ::rubs tummy:: Chocooooolaaaate! ^__^
Then this guy came and gave everyone packets about graduation gowns, announcements, class rings. T_T It makes me sad. I'm going to miss sooooo many people. ::goes in a corner and cries:: Waaah!
Then I forgot that Claremont McKenna was visiting today during lunch, so I let Shana go in my stead. XD I didn't want to miss English and James Joyce.
Lunch was fine. I hung out with Stephy and her hubby. XD
Then in Calculus I nearly got killed by an EXPO marker. Haha. We have this thing where we try to shoot EXPO markers into the trash can in the other corner of the room. It has to go over one of the lights and the cap has to come flying out. Then Ritchie got this smarta$$ idea to try and throw it over both of the lights and into the trash can. >.<
It's very hard to get any work done when pens are soaring over your head. And many of the attempts over both lights would knock the ceiling or hit the light and just rebound randomly anywhere. So the ONE time I wasn't watching them, the EXPO marker nearly kills me. XDDDD But yeah, I was really exciting because the markers would be shooting all over the room because Ritchie and Matt were throwing them so hard.
Now I'm home....not wanting to do any work because I know I really have to do my college apps. >.< Stephy has finished ALL of them. ::complains::

Tuesday, November 15, 2005[edit] Guess what! I just submitted one (1) college application as of like 30 minutes ago! ^__^ ::big smiles:: Even though it was the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo application which is really easy and has no essays of any kind....I feel so accomplished. ^_^ Yay!! Just 200 more to go. XDDD [/edit]
Well...Misai just did it, I might as well follow suit. >.<;; Of course...I'm not as ecstatic as she is though.
American Government: A-
AP Calc BC: A
AP Physics: A
AP English Literature: B
AP Spanish Literature: B+
Christian Vocations: A+
Cumm. GPA: 3.66
My parents are disappointed. O.O I hate it. The first thing they say, you're GPA is slipping....ARGH!
But if you look at my grade just for the semester, weighted: 4.33
Grr...grades are slipping my ass! >.<;;;
Well...anyways. I can see the freeway from my computer chair. >.< The wind was blowing so hard this morning that it knocked over 2/3 of our fence. Eeck.
We have tickets to see Harry Potter on Friday at 5:15pm. ^_^ ::excited::
MidoriChi cast magic spell(s) @ 05:26 p.m.!
Sunday, November 13, 2005[edit] Forgot to mention earlier that this morning I spent a good 15 minutes looking for my community service verification form. o.o Not good. I was freaking out too. You can tell you're on a new level of scared when you start yelling out in Spanish randomly such as OMG and many other things. >.<;; [/edit]
I went to do community service today to finish up my 10 hours for Senior year. Not a very good experience today in the least. KP will agree with me. >.< Very very unorganized and freaking freezing!!
This one volunteer was completely biting our heads off because she was stressed out. We're volunteers and she's a volunteer....she had no reason to be pissed at us. We were all in the same boat. Jeez. So yeah...and for some reason the people in charge completely forgot that it gets dark around 5pm now because of day light savings. Yeah! ::rolls eyes:: It's only been what...at least two weeks or something since we changed the clocks. Kind of obvious about the whole being dark thing. So for like an hour we were working in the dark. Man am I pissed and tired. Grr...
I still have tons of homework. ARGH! ::punches a wall::
Once again....SORRY Stephy!!
MidoriChi cast magic spell(s) @ 06:56 p.m.!
Saturday, November 12, 2005Argh. Die homework. >.<
First off: I'm sorry Stephy. I know I said that I'd be home but I forgot to tell you about the party I was going to tonight. I didn't RSVP until yesterday afternoon so yeah. >.<;;; I hope my mom helped. Even if I was home....XD I wouldn't have been able to give you directions. I'm usually asleep when it comes to that.
Now...Shana Potato's Surprise birthday was beyond awesome. The look on her face was priceless. XD I have pictures!! Go here: midorichi.myphotoalbum.com.
Today was alright too. I procrastinated again. >.< I worked on my collective site layout. I have one now. I'll put the link on once everything's working. ^_^ Then I did a lot surfing for tutorials on graphics and html. Always need to bone up on stuff. I learned how to make and use patterns. WOOT!
Harry Potter in 5 days!!
MidoriChi cast magic spell(s) @ 09:48 p.m.!
Friday, November 11, 2005Another thought to self: You know, I should really update this first and then my lj because I get really tired entering all the paragraph break stuff.... >.<;; I'm not switching though. Grr...livejournal just got put on the global block list at school. Curse them!
First off...oh my gosh! I just typed a bunch of stuff and then my computer decided to idiotically freeze. Argh!!! ::makes fist:: Everything got deleted. ::cries:: T_T
Now...let's see how much I remembered that I typed...
Recites: "It was a really great experience, and you really oughta go."
No, we were not brainwashed. You guys just have to experience the retreat yourself. It's utterly amazing. Even though KP just doesn't want to go, I encourage everyone else to go. Oh my gosh...
You go there with so many expectations and it turns out better. I mean....I want to become a teacher so I can go on that retreat again, but I won't because I'm terrible at teaching anything. =.=;;;
The food was absolutely delicious. If I lived there, I'd be fat. Obese. XD
The view was gorgeous off of El Retiro. You could see the bay, the lights from Alameda County, Santa Clara and whatever other county is nearby. ^_^ Although....sadly I got stuck with a room facing in the opposite direction. The positive side, I go to listen to fountain 24-7 which was rather soothing.
I think one of the most memorably quotes that I can tell people about without revealing much was Brett saying, "I'm going to mini-moo my mint tea." XDDD ^_^ He's so funny.
All the people on the retreat were absolutely amazing people. There were 6 girls and 12 guys. Everyone made this retreat for me to be just unbelievable.
Skip was actually one of the few people in history to run out of ink in his pen. And it was brand new too. O_O
I really hope I'll remember this retreat for almost a life-time. I've had spiritual and mental realizations. And I'm not a particularly religious person. So that's saying a lot.
My complexion is all screwed up now though. I was binging on too many delicious ghost cookies. -.-;
So, if you guys ever have an opportunity to go on a retreat, ever, GO. Just go. No matter the price or the busy work schedules. It's definitely worth it. At least for me, it was definitely worth missing school, tests, and time to work on college apps. Ack...
Because together all in silence, I feel more connected with everyone. It's weird. Silence is good.
Happy Birthday Misai

Saturday, November 5, 2005Finished up today. ^-^ I'm happy. I really wanted to yell out in joy after I left the room at 12:10, but then I think one of the teacher's would yell at me for disturbing the peace. XD
I didn't review a lot for math, so I think I screwed that one up. Literature was surprising easier than the practice test I took. I hope I did well on that one. I even finished 10 minutes early. Physics....no comment. >.<;;
I saw so many people from school there though. Haha. I also saw one of the guys from my SAT II class as well. Fry completely stuck out though because he's tall and blonde, and he was standing in the middle of a mass of short Asians. XDDD
The proctor was kind of annoying though. Because he was bored, during the test he would fix chairs and take the post-it notes off of the desks. I get distracted easily so I read one line of one of the passages in the Lit test three times. Argh....darn you.
Afterwards, my parents tooke me shopping. I needed black shoes for Open House tomorrow. I giving tours. ^.^ And I think I'll visit the Science and Engineering table because they need girls. XD I'm a board member. Hehe...
I ended up buying these really cute casual boots for . Not bad since they were originally . ^^;;
Now I'm sitting here, waiting for anayufan's sister to drop him off. La dee da...
Oh! In SAT class yesterday, it was funny. The three of us in the class all agreed that we were utterly screwed for today. Haha. We also agreed that our teacher needs to get some sleep. He has huge dark circles around eyes. O_O

18. Since I'm an only child, my substitute siblings are my cousins. I think that's where I got my liking for videogames.
17. Even though I'm left handed, I through and kick like a righty. Except, I'm a lefty at bat when I play baseball or softball.
16. Speaking of which, my dad's abidextrous with chop sticks.
15. My parents got married in the Stanford University chapel.
14. Stealing this from Calvin, as of late I've had the worst short term memory, terrible speaking skills (I stutter or slur my words), and am very very easily distracted.
13. I have a really bad habit of getting sucked into the computer whenever it has internet access. Perhaps spawned from my lack of internet for a few years.
12. In 3rd grade, I was hella skinny. You could count my ribs.
11. The only pet I've had all my life is a goldfish. We used to have more than one, but then they killed each other. Now we or my mom just takes care of one until that one dies. Then we get a new one and name it Goldie again.
10. I'm a huge neat freak at school and in public, but my room is clutterania. I can't even do homework on my desk anymore. I've moved back to the kitchen table.
09. I used to hate mint for years. Now my favorite ice cream is Mint Chocolate Chip.
08. My favorite color was blue for the longest time because I was tomboy. Now I love my pink blinds.
07. In 4th grade, my friends and I would name the seagulls at our middle school different names according to the pattern on their wings. We even made little books.
06. I have video tapes of Barney under my television, in the cabinet.
05. I own Pokemon cards and Star Wars cards. Most of them were free because all of my guy friends didn't want them anymore, so they just dumped them on me.
04. When I was little and home alone, I would blast mucis on the radio and pretend I was some warrior princess in my parent's bedroom because it was the biggest room in the house.
03. I was uber obsessed with sports in junior high. I played softball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and track. I even considered trying out for cheerleading, but I quit because it wasn't my thing. Now I'm a couch potato.
02. I've only gambled once and I didn't have any money to start with either. I had to borrow five bucks from my friend in order to play. I ended up winning and everyone swore at me.
01. My biggest fear this year is leaving for college. I'm going to miss everyone so much. And I'm so busy right now that I can't even let them how much all my friends mean to me.
That's it. ^_^ I tag. Hiyono, Nelson, Azarel, Misai, Hayne, Jaymee, anayufan, and Stephany. (Although I know some of them probably won't do it. XD)

Friday, November 4, 2005[edited] New layout everyone! ^_^ And look! It's seasonal for once. I think it's been a a year since the last seasonal layout. XD I'm too lazy to look for new pictures on the internet. Haha. Hope you like it. Comment! [/edited]
Today marks the last day of SAT II class ever. I'm excited, but mostly very stressed because I absolutely did not learn anything. I'm so not prepared for tomorrow. A complete waste of money of time. I could've been studying on my own, but NO...my parents have to sign me up for a stupid class. Mumble...mumble...
Tomorrow will be the end of SAT II for all time! Muwahahaha....or until I want to become a lawyer out of the blue and need to take the LSATs. XDDD Legally Blonde is such an awesome movie. ^_^
So yeah...I'm extremely tired...stressed....and I know I will definitely not finish any of my homework this weekend. And we're starting AP testing in Physics too. Crap....
I'm going to go curl in a ball, review over logs and e for like 10 minutes. Then I'm watching ALIAS and binge on apples. Heehee...
Stephany's taking me and anayufan out for asian food after testing tomorrow. Yay. ::gives a future hug::
I've been downloading like crazy. ^_^ gendou[DOT]com is my favorite site for all eternity or until it gets banned or blocked or destroyed or sued....blah blah....
I got a crash course on computer programming from Eric today. ^_^ Very interesting....
And anayufan, jaymee, and Michelle know too many Helen Keller jokes for their own good. ^^;;;

Wednesday, November 2, 2005Go read the English Patient by Michael Ondaatje. It's such a good book. He is so good at imagery. But you must bear an open mind. I'm just warning you. Oh...it's different than the movie. Perhaps on a different level than the movie. Although, I can't say much because I haven't seen the movie yet. >.< Mr. C is holding a screening of the movie next Wednesday at 6, but I won't be there. I'm sad now. Why does he have to plan all the awesome stuff the same time as the senior retreat. It's the only one this semester. WHY?!
Tuesdays With Morrie is a pretty good book too. I'm reading that one for Christian Vocations. It's cute and an easy read. We watched the interview with Ted Coppel in class today. I was about to fall asleep, but Morrie is just an adorable old man. No wonder everyone loves him. XD
According to anayufan, Ayumi Hamasaki's new album comes out January 1st. Excited? ^__^
Calculus BC right now is as confusing as hell. And we have a test next week. Wah!
Do you know when Harry Potter movie 4 comes out? I'm to lazy to look it up. XDDD;;
I have a vague college list:
Cal Poly San Luis Obsipo
Carnegie Mellon
St. Mary's College of California
UC Berkeley
UC Irvine
UC Los Angeles
UC San Diego
University of San Diego
Santa Clara University
New York University

::goes into a corner and cries:: That's not even including the transcript fees, test fees, blah blah blah....

Tuesday, November 1, 2005First off, I was extremely tired because of my stupid spanish homework. Die Quijote packet!! =.= She didn't even check the homework, which means that I didn't have to do it last night. I could have studied for my government test. Argh! Oh well....I guess it means I don't have homework for Spanish on Thursday because I already did it. ::collapses::
The Don Quijote quiz was still a little crazy. Then we reviewed over chapter 3 handout, which ollau and I did not read. XDD;;; So the whole time we were praying that she wouldn't call on us. Phew...dreams come true. Haha...
I completely forgot in Physics that we had a lab today. >.< KP being my partner, we had to build a motor. Technically, it isn't that hard. But the stupid wire wouldn't strip properly, we couldn't balance the coil, the paperclips kept breaking, and we couldn't decide how high we wanted the paperclips to be. So frustrating. >.< KP was crying a swearing, and I was on the verge of dropping a few f-bombs myself. We were the only group who took the whole class to construct the stupid motor. We're definitely not becoming electrical engineers. XDD The guys weren't helping us either. I think Brian, Ben (who was surprisingly nice), and a little from Eric were the only guys who were kind enough to actually help us. There are only five freaking girls in the class. Jeez...lend a hand.
IKZ's wife and kids stopped by during class though. They were so cute. I think he's actually pretty cool father. His son is so cute, and his newly born daughter has a mohawk at the back. Heehee...
Stupid government test. That's all I'll say.
Good news: Draco Veritas 16 is up. Go read. ^_^ Cassandra Claire is wickedly clever. Just go on google and search for her name and the chapter.
I wish I could read it right now, but I have 100 pages to read for English. ::grudge::
