The Japanese project went okay... I guess. So shame, but at least it's over with. I got my report card today, All A's and one B. ^__^ Yay! I get to be treated out to breakfast or dinner, my choice. I haven't decided anything yet, but a strawberry sundae at Hard Rock Cafe sounds nice. :) I just realized that I've had this layout up since January. And it is now April. Hmmm..... I guess I should change it. I'll try get a new one up this weekend. Since it's april, maybe it should have something to do with rain. Or maybe school since I only have 2 months left? It could involve a scene from Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker since I am just SO enthralled with that game. Yeah..... I like that idea... In fact, I want to work on it right now. Hey, maybe I will! :)
I have this group project in Japanese. We're currently learning about fashion-type words and stuff, so the class decided to do a fashion show. And like I said, it's a group project. Problem is that I'm not in a group. It's suppose to be 3-4 people each, but the class basically spilt into 3 giant groups. No one invited me to join theirs, and no one looked like they even wanted me to join. So because of this, Sensei said I could do it on my own, and just use dolls/stuffed animals as the models. Great. So my class will be modeling winter wear, Spice Girls wear (don't ask) and whatever else, while little old me will be showing off a Ninja chicken and a Samurai teddy bear. Oh-ho-ho, how I want to stay home tomorrow. I'm still considering it. But the project is worth 30 points, and in my Japanese class, that's a lot of points. What's a girl to do? On the semi-good side, I think I'm half-way through with Wind Waker. Well, at least 1/3 done. I remember reading that Mr. Miyamoto (Legend of Zelda creator/director) said that game had 3 phases. And I KNOW I finished the first phase, and maybe part of the second phase? Anyway. I like that game A LOT. I feel sorry for Miss Tetra though. She didn't look very happy when...she found out. But that scene with Ganondorf! That was so cool! ^-^ Makes me want to start a brand-new game just so I can see the cinema scenes all over again. :)
Oh my God, thank you soooooooooooo much Melly and Joel! I love you, I love you, I love you!! ^_____^ You made my Saturday! *rushes off to the gamecube* Wind Waker ROCKS! ^____________________^
But before I do that; in other news........ And, that's it. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some major video gaming to play. Bwa ha ha ha ha! ^.^;
Musogato.com's first birthday is tomorrow, and I have very few updates to celebrate it with. Actually, there's a elephant-load full of stuff I could update it with, if I got around to finishing it. I have so many unfinished projects, it's sickning. Like this bowl of unfinished cereal that's been sitting next to me all morning. 'Scuse me. *runs to the kitchen* ... anyway, like I was saying. I've got too much stuff that I'll never finish. I have two comics that I want to do, one hasn't been started yet and the other I did do, but it's been on my computer for half a year, waiting to be colored. I have over a dozen stories on my computer too, waiting to be finished as well. "I'll do it when I have more time," I say. HA! When someone tells you that, never ever believe them. Especially if it's coming from someone like me. It's almost heart-breaking; the effort I put into thinking these stories through and how great it'll be, only to then abandon it because I "can't find the time to work on it". While it's true that school is demanding more of my time, and these silly stories and comics aren't exactly that important, it's the principle of it all. I somewhat care about these miniscule projects of mine, but I'm just so damn lazy, I refuse to work on them even when I DO have free time. "Later" simply means 'somewhere in the distant future when I actually care about it. And even then, it's still a maybe.' -_-; Yes, Happy Birthday to MG.com indeed.
First day of Spring Break. yay. Yes, my spring break is only 1 week long. My school traded it so that we'd have 3 weeks off at Christmas. I'm REALLY angry at the f***ing bus systems over here. On friday, yesterday, there were NO OTHER SCHOOLS open. None. Zip. Zero. Everyone but us was already on Spring Break. But guess what! Those damn busses were still TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATE! Two and a half hours! And no, traffic was not the reason! I HATE IT HERE! This HAS to be the MOST imcompetant state in the ENTIRE USA!
This isn't the first time this has happened. Oh, no. My school practically has a reputation for being a dumb-shit. Every time we have a 3-day weekend or a week+ off, there is always something wrong with the busses. Always. I have never had a 3-day weekend or more time off that actually started well. I always leave school angry, pissed-off, and wishing with all my might that the school would just, you know, blow up or burn down. But no, it has to be made of concrete. And always be there when we get back. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
I can't wait until I get my licence. I want to get it next week, but I need more practice. And then I'll drive Mom's car to school every chance I get, and get stuck in the damn traffic, because there is only ONE main road that goes anywhere, and of course, it only has one lane for each direction.
But hey, at least it's Spring Break. That's why we always have bus problems on Friday. So by the time we get back to school, we've forgotten what dip-shits we have to depend on. Lovely.
Well, my Driver's Ed & Behind-the-Wheel are officially over and I have passed them both quite nicely. Now I can sleep for 2 hours more every morning! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay. I like that very much indeed. Although it was kinda cool eating breakfast with dad and going driving with him every morning. But waking up at 4:30am every day is something I just cannot adjust to, ya know? But that's okay. I can eat breakfast with dad (and mom too!) on the weekends. If I can get into the kitchen before my morning cartoons start, that is. Otherwise I'll be glued to my room until lunch time. But hey, lunch works too. Senior Prom is this saturday. I have the dress, the shoes, the bag, the date/ride, my ticket, the make-up, and....I think that's it. I guess I'm good to go. I still have to figure out how to do my hair. I guess I'll wear it down, but I'm not sure what else to do with it. *shrugs* I figure it out tomorrow and on friday. There's no school on friday, so that's really helpful. Monday was Hina Matsuri, or Girl's Day. I made this really cute card in my Japanese class, I'll probably scan it and add it to my website after the prom. Anyway, my family usually doesn't celebrate that holiday, but we did this year! Guess what we got! Mom found this really sweet deal, so we got a platinum GameCube & Mario Sunshine!! =D She actually got Metroid free with the GC, but I haven't played that game yet so I'm not counting it. ^^; Sunshine is *really* fun and I like it a lot. And today we got our memory card in the mail (all the stores were sold out) so now I can save my game. YAY. Actually, I'd be playing it right now if it weren't almost 11 at night and my eye wasn't all blood-shot & irritated. Speaking of my eye, I think I may need glasses. NOOOOOO! I don't want glasses, or contacts. I don't like things being too close to my eyes, especially if that something is actually on my eye. But lately in class the board has been kinda fuzzy and I have a hard time making out the words. And I sit near the center of the class, not the back. Maybe it's glare? I dunno, but I'm getting worried. I like having 20/20 vision! I don't want to give that up. Maybe I'm not going blind, maybe I'm just spending too much time looking at electronic screens like the tv & and computer screens, and this is just some messed up side-effect. After all, that's why my eye is all red and stressed looking. Well, I *hope* that's the reason...
T-This has been such a busy week, it's scary. Actually, most of it happened on Thursday. So Thursday was pretty scary. What happened? EVERYTHING, basically. *takes a deep breath* I'm not use to being so busy, but hopefully I'll adjust soon. Anyway, here's what happened. After you read the following, you'll understand perfectly:
....On the good side, however.... That's about it, I think. But you see? Busy, busy, busy! In fact, I was so exausted from this week, I slept in very late this morning and missed most of my saturday morning cartoons! --wait-- I wasn't suppose to say that. It goes against all teenage rules. Ah, screw those damn rules. Who cares, anyway.
Hmm. I sure haven't written in here in the longest time. Oh well. I'm kinda over the whole blog thing. At least at the moment, anyway. I really need to manage my time better. I'm not use to being so busy. I'm not very good at it. Especially when I get distracted so easily. Very, very, VERY easily. I need to practice being better. But, before I tell you all about me seeing DareDevil today and how the movie is pretty damn cool and I must buy the soundtrack ASAP, and how even though DareDevil was good I am still a HUGE Spider-Man fan. That's because Spidey kicks ass. =D Anyway, before I tell you all that, I must say I saw the coolest bug this morning. Yeah, you heard me; a bug. I know, big whoop, but it was really cool looking! It was about as big as a horsefly, only it could hover in the air like a humming bird. It had this hard outer shell that was dark green but changed to gold in the sunlight. It was cool!! I never saw that kind of bug before. So, um yeah, that's my bug story. Yay! ^-^; Anyway, I kinda already said what I thought about the DareDevil movie, but I'll say it again just because. It was Pretty Damn Cool. Yet I still think Spider-Man was better. But that's just because Tobey is still on my Top 5 fav movie guys, and the fact that Spidey is just plain COOL. ^__^ huuuuuuuh..... other news, other news.... hmm. Well, I got my progress report last thursday -- five A's and one D- (in English). Ha ha, that's so wierd; I'm acing my Japanese III class, but I'm failing my English class. O_o? But don't worry, that D- is just because I havn't turned in this "Oh-My-God-this-paper-is-worth-too-many-frickn'-points" report yet. It's due on Tuesday and DON'T WORRY, I will finish it. Because if I don't, my English grade will never get any higher than a C-. :( *gasp* I missed the 300th ep of the Simpsons! I also missed Samurai Jack, even though it was a repeat. *sighs* oh well. I was too busy listening to my 1 minute 30 second demo of "Bring me to Life" from the DareDevil soundtrack. I've been listening to this song preview all day since I saw the movie. Yeah. Strange part is, I haven't gotten sick of it yet. Hmm. Maybe that's good though. Oh well. Ja ne! :)
I woke up really early this morning, and I couldn't fall back asleep. I couldn't figure out why, until I heard my Mom's tv in the other room and what was going on. Go figure. My prayers are with the involved families. In other, less important news, I've added a new poem to my website. I wrote it yesturday. It's nice.
Driver's Ed has been going well. I'm starting to get use to waking up at 4:40 every morning, but I've learned that staying up till 10 the night before is really a bad idea. But the one thing that shocks me the most is how beautiful the school looks really early in the morning. Perhaps it's the silence, or the lack of annoying people, or maybe even the early morning light that makes everything seem less harsh. Whatever it is, I like it. I get to school a half hour or so before my class starts, so that gives me time to play "A Link to the Past" (GBA) or finish any homework I have left. I had my first "official" driving on Thrusday with one of my driving teachers and another student in my class. It went okay, considering it was my second time behind the wheel. I practiced turns and tracking, both forward and in reverse. I had some trouble in the empty parking lot -- I kept going in the empty parking spaces and mowing down the pretend cars. But if the cars were really there, I'm sure I would have stayed in the correct lane. Hopefully. Dad took me driving yesturday, and I think I did better. I mainly just cruised down the roadway and practised turns and parking. I even made a turn in reverse! I think I did good. I know all this sounds silly, but the one thing I'm most proud about my nearly non-exsistant driving skills is that I'm not doing that stupid cliche go-stop-go-stop thing that so many new drivers, at least on TV, do. Yup, I'm one smooth driver! ^__^
I guess in my short-lived rage yesterday, I forgot to mention a miracle-of-a-thing happened on Friday: I got into my school's Driver's Ed. 0_0! Sure, I was one of the first few people to sign up this year, but the whole thing is handled wrong, and there are people who signed up a few years ago and STILL havn't been listed into any classes yet. Yeah. But I think they're trying to improve it now. One of the teachers who are handling it called me out of my English class to let me know that I had been added to the current class. A bunch of people had been thrown out of class or hadn't gotten their driver's permit before the deadline, so a bunch of spots opened up. They're filling them with this year's Seniors, and I was one of the lucky people chosen. ^__^ Yay! Class will be every weekday from 7-8am for 6 weeks, which means I'll have to catch a ride with dad. I'll be getting to school an hour earlier than I need to be, but that's okay. Since I have my GBA, I'll be able to make that hour disappear. :) You see? Everything works out in the end. And on the bright side, I'm not really angry anymore. Which is good, since it was giving me a Major headache.
You know what? I don't care if I come off as an unfriendly bitch. I DON'T CARE. If I feel like being a "Kiss my Ass" type of person at the moment, then that's what I'm going to do. I don't care about my peers. They don't care about me. What's the point? I'm starting my real life soon, that's all that matters. I can't wait to get out of here. Oh. And Fejjy? Thanks for my B-Day gift. I really appreciate it.
Well, I finally updated Jade*Island. The content isn't technically "new" (like always) but because J*I is a fan site, and I'm a fan Neopets, I figured I should add my Neopets-related work. So, there ya go! :)
**sighs contently** Well, I traded every single neopoint I had with some of my best items, and now am COMPLETELY broke, but it was worth it. I now am the proud new owner of a Snow Faerie Doll! *beams with pride* Awwww, she's so cute! n_n It's a perfect finish to my Snow Faerie collection. Because you have to be a member of Neopets in order to know what I mean, I'll show the pictures below. :)
  
Yay for me! ^__^
Nine days left until school starts again. T_T I don't want to go back!! Never never never. But, at least I got new batteries. My CDs will make school better. Until they die. But hopefully they'll last longer than 3 days. ((I swear, my state gets THE worst batteries ever. Maybe it's the atmosphere that discharges them or something. Or maybe it's my CD player?)) Either way, I am bringing my music with me. And if my batteries die on me, I'll just take Mom's. hee hee. I've been writing a lot lately; stories and reflections both. I'm debating if I should post the reflections though. I don't want to. They're personal and besides, they're none of your business. I don't want you to read them, it's not like you'll remember me or anything. But..... all the really cool sites have their personal opinions and they've opened themselves up to people they will never meet. How can they be so open like that? Don't they care about their reputation at all? I certainly couldn't do that.... damn this 'fitting-in' craze. *glares bitterly at the ground* Maybe I am a coward. I'm reminded of that new Ford Tamahoe commerical, which recites that old poem with the repeating lyrics: "And no body knows it but me". A secret only enriches those who know about it. But if no one knows, then no one cares. What's the point of having a secret then? It'll only become forgotten in time. The world is full of untold secrets. Is that why these website owners are practically obsessed with telling everyone who comes across their page exactly what they're doing, who they are, and why they should be recognized apart from every other person on the net? They don't want to be lost in the passage of time? Well, who does want to be forgotten? But the world is big. If you're remembered by complete strangers and not by your true friends and family, what's the point? *sighs* It doesn't matter. People will act the way they choose to. I suppose I'll just have to wait until I can get the hell out of here and into MY own. I certainly don't belong. But I have the deepest, darkest feeling that it's going to be the same way out there as it is right here. I can't escape it, can I. *triple sigh* Good thing I have music, though. As long as my batteries last, of course.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! **throws confetti** Hurray! ^__^ Note~ new layout is up and running both here and at Musogato.com. Okay everyone, enjoy the new year! **throws more confetti**
