Current Tune: heeheehee. My new kitty is soooooo cute! She loves to be pet and brushed, and is just soooo cute! She looks huge since she has long hair, but aww!! I don't know if I wrote about her... hmm... well, I guess I will. ^_^ My friend Kim came up to me on Monday and said, "Anne, I know you want a kitty," which sure, course I always do. (i love cats). She told me the story of Madaline, whos owner declawed her and left her outside all the time with only food and water, no love. So the guy moved away and left the cat behind, and everyone has been trying to find a new owner for the cat. I can't believe that the guy could be so mean to this sweetheart!! *cooing to the cat like a big idiot* I went to my future sister-in-law's bachlorette (forgive my spelling, I am really tired) party today. Male hookers jumping out of cakes, you know, the usual. haahaa. Yeah right. It was kinda.... boring. I just talked about everyone with Megumi in Japanese. Wonderful language. The hostess also had a cat, which I befriended. However, my cutie Madaline has more personality. Luna, Muffy, and Sierra are jealous as hell, but they will get used to it, hopefully. I mean, I know Muffy and Sierra will get used to it, Luna will be the interesting one. I watched Billy Elliot tonight. It was pretty good. It was funny watching Megumi, she didn't understand the English. O_o I was going to watch some anime or something, but eh... too tired. I got a FAX from Mihoko saying she got the CD I sent her for her b-day. ^_^ Better late than never, right *coughs*. I started writing a reply FAX but me head is a messed up at the moment. Tired. Why must humans sleep? --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Saturday, May 11, 2002 at 11:05 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Let Me Be With You (Chobits) Here we are again, computer applications. I finished the project the other day, and well, yay. Everyone else is confused by the topic of "scrapbook". The challenge involved in this class is just mind blowing, I swear. We watched a Japanese drama Pure today. It was really interesting/weird. So far this guy is in love with is cousin, a girl has a crush on him and is sad when he rejects her so goes off with a stranger, who is really a porno director. Then Yuuka has got these "special issues" as Kelsey puts it, and ends up in the same situation. Meanwhile, she has a crush on a guy who is a jerk at first and then is nice, and these girl is trying to put the moves on him. Yes.... -_- Oh yeah, the cousin lover got drunk and arrested, and thus the amazing drama concluded today. I feel enlightened. I have to go to the library today after school. I have to get the teaching project practiced, but I have to go all the way home to drop off my carpool and then come back to school. O_o what a waste of gas and time, perhaps I should just leave her here (revenge I tell you, revenge). No, I couldn't do it. I have been coloring a picture in class lately. Fun Fun Fun. I made a picture of Tamahome from Fushigi Yugi awhile ago, and now am coloring it. The speed this class goes, just takes your breath away. Well, Ryan is singing in my ear to get me to let him write a quote (not to mention he is playing pool, again). Go Ryan. Be free. RYAN'S QUOTE OF THE ENTRY! Rescue Man: If I were you, I'd turn back! Ace Ventura: Yeah, well if you were me then I'd be you, and I'd use your body to get to the top! You can't stop me no matter who you are!! LOSER!!! - Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls... bye peoples, let Anne be free!! Thanks Ryan --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Friday, May 10, 2002 at 2:10 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song: Menchi (Excel Saga) teheehee. wee. Right now I am in computer applications. fun. No one really likes working in this class, and we are not "supposed" to use the internet. Oh no, all is lost. Kelsey is writing in her blog about how much she loves computer applications also. go world. Ryan is playing pool, and someone is front of me is looking at cars. We all LOVE computer applications. Action packed, never a moment of boredom. I went to talk with my conselor today, about Running Start. Ahh! My Gin and Tonic buddy. She thinks that I am brillaitn wtih art and the computers. Hahaahaa. Ryan is singing a song right now, and "feeling the deep pain of a missed shot." Sleepy... want to go home. Can't speak grammatically correct. no. This is now going to be Ryan, the guy who sits next to me in computer applications (the best class on earth): QUOTE OF THE DAY: Wicked Witch, Wizard of Oz: "Poppies, yes! Sleep... sleep... sleep..." -Ryan :) You go Ryan. ^_^ --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, May 8, 2002 at 2:31 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: My head hurts. Pain. suffering. I have been too lazy to sign online at home lately, and too busy trying to get done in distance learning to sign on. I got to class 4 minutes early, so decided to write. Yay me! I am just getting thru all the reading and then I will write all the essays, save the horrible part for last, oh shit how i am going to suffer. So I am signed up for the June 1st SAT's. Aaaarrrgggh. I have not really had time to study, I am doomed. I really do not give a shit about the test, it would be nice to do well, however I heard from my brother that the SAT measures your test taking abilities, however the ACT tests your actual knowledge. So, i am going to take the ACT's in the fall. go me! I need to get more serious about college... I really ought to. I am really loving English class. I have a 101.2% grade in that class, I love it. My writting skills are getting much better, I am getting proud of them to a certain extent. Perhaps I will be an english major like two of my five brothers... nah. What else..... I started designing a manga, the story line and what the pages will look like, for a Japanese final project. yay! Today in history our student teacher was telling us that we will for our Cold War test have a "group test." When she said that a girl in my group looked at me, getting a surprised look out of me, and she said, "Oh Yeah! We have Anne in our group! Anne is really smart!" .... it worries me that my group has not really been taking notes. I am not sure anyone else has really in the class either... -_- I actually volunteered my answers from the lecture (teaching testing to see if people actually did work, heehee). It is not that I am smart, it is that I can take notes, a skill I learned the hard way. I feel sick. kimochi warui.. Only about 6 weeks left of school... a little longer till my brothers wedding! (about time, he is going to be 27 on 5/16 and they have been dating since high school). My family... go family, go. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Monday, May 6, 2002 at 10:21 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Star (Fushigi Yuugi) Right now my school is taking the ITED test. Yahaa. Let's see.... I am doing well on the English parts, however Math is... O_o; I forgot my basic algerbra skills from being in Geometry too long. Must... escape.... Last night I started to register for the SAT's. I even signed up at a college helper thingy site last night. I have two days to register for the SAT's in June, like 6 days before I go to my brothers wedding. We are having trials about the Atomic bomb in history. It certainly is... interesting. We had tough trivia questions at the end of class since we had extra time (and they didn't want to start the defense). We got clues and had to guess the country. My teacher was impressed with my answer (though wrong) and said we (my group) should get extra points. ^_^ heehee. Few more days the Anime Con!! ^_^ I have to finish my running start test. gya. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, April 24, 2002 at 10:46 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: How Can I Leave You Again (John Denver) I love Spring Break. I have done nothing really thus far, and it has felt wonderful. ^.^ I started writting a letter to B-chan... I babysat on Saturday.... but that is really it. I have watched tons of movies with Megumi. I actually had a dentist appointment yesterday. Fun fun fun. My teeth are wonderful, haahaa. My stupid molars are growing in on the top too. -_-; I have to go back tomorrow so they get put something on one of my teeth. O_o; I also need to go take the Running Start test. Wahoo! Well... yeah. Going back to being lazy. ^_^ --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, April 17, 2002 at 01:10 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: I Want to Change the World (Inu Yasha OP, V-6 Is abstract art crap? I just came from Geometry and we had a talk about art. Mr. W. said he went to an art museum once with his wife and was looking at all the pieces. He commented that it was all crap. That night he went home and took an old garage door and covered it with all sorts of spare stuff in the garage, like old paint etc. Then he hung it in his livingroom. Whenever they have guests over people always comment on it, and they say it is by Keaf Tarsit, fake artist. The story was funny and I am still laughing about it, but I don't know.... I like drawing but some art just doesn't make sense to me. Like the gum in the corner? argh. I like drawing people. no offense intented to people who like that stuff, but hey, my geometry class just doesn't get it. ^_^ --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Thursday, April 11, 2002 at 10:26 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song : Touch and Go!! (Blue Seed ED arrrrrgh. I hate plagerism. I am looking for information on slavery in Africa and their views on it and have found websites just coping what Encarta says. -_-; arrrrgh. I have found out some of my grades for my classes. T_T Honors English: A; U.S. History:??; geometry: D+!!!!!!; Distance Learning: Pass; P.E.: A or B; Japanese: A; Computer Applications: C-. Arrrrrgh. I am soooo mad about geometry. I have done all my work and gotten A's and high B's on all the tests and quizzes. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!? I am going to yell/talk to my teacher today or tomorrow. I don't have the class today since it is block scedule. It makes me really uninspired to try in that class if my hard work gets me that low of a f*cking grade. *feeling mad as heck a day later*. Progress reports will be here soon. T_T --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, April 10, 2002 at 10:21 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Forever Love (X Japan) Waaaaaaaannnnn. I am in shock. The jerk sold his computer that we wanted!! Aaaaaa! I hate him. Grr. Now I actually will have to do my original plan to get money. Boo hoo. I hate sewing quilts. I got a letter from Kae today! :p I was so excited to get mail! It truely made my day (cause I opened it after hearing about the stupid stupid stupid computer guy. T_T Anyway! She sent me lots of purikura :D sighness. I might become an English tutor! ^_^ I might even get $10 per hour to do it. The lady I talked to (for the other lady.. X_x;) asked me how my grammar is. O_o; It is not wonderful, but I am pretty good at proof reading. I can read what does and does not make sense. ^_^ There you go. I have stupid math homework tonight. Stupid stupid. We are reading The Catcher and the Rye which is pretty good thus far. I am still on chapter 1... I think... *_* My house is getting invaded by weirdo little bugs. I don't know where they are coming from, but yuck! I have to pick my Mommy up in a few minutes (and photocopy my English crap, and pick up my pictures), and I should root for bug spray. Uuuugggggghhhhhhhh. Yuck. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Monday, April 8, 2002 at 05:10 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Ai no Senshi (BSSM) heehee. I am listening to BSSM R CD right now in Distance Learning. I am excited about my next section!! I have learned about the Industrial Revolution painstakingly last year thru Great Britain's .... revolution, however never learned about America. ^_^ I am excited! Today I found out my grade in Honors english. I walked up to Mrs. E this morning was said, "Umm... I was wondering about my current grade... I see a student number up there which is similar to mine... but.." so she opened up her grade book on the computer and said, "Well Anne, I don't have your student number!" So I told her and she wrote it in. I have a 98.7%!!!! :) Happiness. My mid-term grades are pretty good considering how late I have started in the year. I am really happy right now. sighness. I have to go home and finish my story right away so I can copy them for tomorrow. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Monday, April 8, 2002 at 11:07 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune : Ottototto Natsu Da ze (EE Jump) My mind is currently in Japanese mode again. I just wrote two e-mails in japanese, so I am thinking that I must write in Japanese. Today I had a geometry test, which went okay. We tried to distract him from giving it to us by having a discussion about skin. ^_^ Distance learning I got a project done, yay! P.E. we went outside and I talked with the P.E. teacher since I 1)am lazy 2) don't have friends in my P.E. class. We talked about HTML, java, C++, and respect. It is surprising how disrespectful people are. I mean, yeah *doesn't want to get yelled at by someone* After school I am going to the community college near here to take a test to get into running start. Oh yeah, I just had a Kanji test *dun dun dun!!* i think I passed with somewhat flying colors. I remembered most of the crap, even remembered one of the sentences which wasn't on the test!! ^_^ I got a free donut today. It was... O_o; I don't see why they are so popular here. sighness. Tonight I am going to sleep. wonderful, long forgotten, much needed, sleep.... --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Friday, April 5, 2002 at 01:39 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Maria (Blondie) Yay! No Geometry homework! heeheehee. However, he said about the quiz we took Tuesday, "You might want to know this information in case we have a test tomorrow *fake wink*." argh. My english story is still englishy, I need to correct it some more. My Mom tried to explain how to write proper letters since I forgot, meanwhile saying how my teacher does not know how to write grammatically correct letters. Ho ho ho.I said a description work twice in two sentences! GASP! -_-; Next I have P.E..... give me strength to get through this day.... --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Thursday, April 4, 2002 at 10:20 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Song for XX (Hamasaki Ayumi) Shit. I forgot to call Caitlin. She is going to kill me. We are going "downtown" on Saturday to a japanese bookstore. ^_^ We have to decide the times. Fun!!! Right now I am printing out my Honors English crap. I had to write a short story about a "moment in time" with a theme of "the evil eye" (see my winning the art contest entry... if I wrote about it...). So I wrote about the weirdo girl who came to talk to me at the station one day. My Mom was reading it and was like, "Annie, this is the best paper that I have ever read by you. I am utterly amazed!" Me: "I don't know if I should be offended or happy." Well, the girl next to me in English the other day said, "....are you going to have you parents read this?(with hint that parents should read it cause it sucks that much)." O_o; It was also interesting, Mom was correcting my f*cking computer applications crap (I have a f*cking C because of the stupid student teacher who said without the others permission that I did not have to do certain assignments since I registered late). -_-; anyway... Mom was working with the Word on our computer, which is a 9 year old computer. And I quote my Mom, "What the!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS STUPID COMPUTER!?... why is it doing this!?... ARRRGGGGHHHH.... I hate this program.... I hate this program.... AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!! STUPID PROGRAM!" I ended up defending it like I did public schools today. -_-; She is still mad I am going to public school. Sighness. 15 minutes later and it is still printing. Oh well. Did I write it already?! We are probably getting a *new* computer. It isn't new, but only 2 years old or something, compared to 9. -_-; 8 GB of hard drive *drooling* Right now I have 1 GB of hard drive. How sad! And a 56 k modem, the new one has a 256. *eyes glaze in delight* I can almost piss myself in excitement (last time I said that I got yelled at that proper ladies do not say that!!) O_o; --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, April 3, 2002 at 11:35 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune : Stand by Me (John Lennon) Ahhhhhhhhhh. I was soooo worried. My distance learning teacher said that I had to be half way done by today in order to get a pass grade. So, I freaked out and printed out the whole entire unit and read it in two days, and was worried about the 5 notebook projects. I have another week! 1, 2, 3, *sigh of relief* Now I just have my Kanji quiz. -_-; I have to give midterms credit, it scared the shit out of me enough to catch up in computer applications, etc. Hahahaa. *feeling powerful* A week and a half until Spring Vacation!!! Joy....! Friday I am going to take the running start (college classes and get college and high school credit for it) test, so perhaps no high school school next year!!! :D~ Ahhh. I feel so much better. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, April 3, 2002 at 09:29 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Ai (Excel Saga) Sore wa ai ja nai~~..... Ai wa sore ja nai~~... heehee. I love that opening. I saw Excel Saga on Friday and thought it was hilarious. It seems to have no real plot, but rather makes fun of other animes. ^_^ Right now I am down at the local library, having printed out my online class text to read today, typed up my English short story (get to the conflict), and my computer application letter test. Weeeeee. Fun! I forgot my geometry book at home, woe is me. If only I knew how to draw a circle (or remember) the certain methods we learned on Thursday, the world would be a better place once again. Megumi has a research project right now. Poor girl, she has to re-word all this stuff. My teachers in japan certainly didn't really expect me to do something that big. All they really wanted me to do is translate stuff to Japanese. :p It would be fun to take photography. *sigh* I want to design a webpage, have a domain again, and/or find a free server to host the images for my blog. Aaauugh. Woe is me. Megumi... how much more longer? Since I have nothing else to do I am writing here. ^_^ I wrote an e-mail to my Aussie friend today, I think that he is mad at me. -_-; sadness. This week is a four day school week, since today is no school. :D~ I got a FAX from my best friend in japan, mihoko!!! :) It was really cool, I must write her a reply FAX soon. Grumble. Well, I guess I will search the web for....!! (obviously anime/web design crap). Kaeritai~~~~~! --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Monday, April 1, 2002 at 01:31 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: First Impression (Two Mix) Waaaaaaaaaan! I am trying to work on my online class right now and my computer sucks! I want a new one. Waan. Since I missed first semister of U.S. History I have to do it thru an online class and I should be half way done with the class. Of course, I have been taking my time and LEARNING THE MATERIAL!! Midterms are Tuesday and Wednesday and I have only finished 1 unit out of 4! So I have to do thru unit 2 by wednesday. aaaaah. I also have to do like 5 mini-essays for it too. grr. Anyway.. Happy Easter! (almost said Thanksgiving). Not that I am fucked up when it comes to holidays now... I remember last year my Mom sent me chocolates in Japan. *sigh* Memories. Right now Megumi is passed out in the familyroom, her friend Atsuko came over yesterday and ended up spending the night. I was up with them until around 2 AM watching movies, then gave up. They stayed up all night! My Mom is kinda peeved. ^_^; I had huge plans for my three day weekend (tomorrow there is no school). I was going to make a webpage, do all my homework, save the world, and make 15 minute brownies in 10 minutes! :D I am remembering my freshman year English class. I have found my dream college I think. They keep on sending me all this information, even though I have not taken any of the tests. Going abroad fucked up my school course. My ship is sinking. I need a lifesaver!!! Well, we are probably getting rid of our internet provider and getting a new one! yay!!!!!!! *kicks current provider* Everyone hates it, from that I am sure you can guess the provider. I have watched lots o' movies this weekend, I am in love with 10 Things I Hate About You. Megumi and I rented it, and later found out Noah owns it. I have kinda cleaned my room this weekend, I seriously need to make cards for my host families/LP/AFS/Friends today or tomorrow. My life is suddenly too busy. I miss my boring Japan life... *sadness* --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Sunday, March 31, 2002 at 03:34 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Umm... yeah. I made a layout for the blog and have been looking for a free server to make webpages, etc etc on. Perhaps my mommy will let me have a domain again. :p Right now I am in my internet class listening to bad music and watching a girl who can not chew her sandwitch with her mouth close. X_x; Yuck. I am on the French and Indian War section, last in unit 1!! yay! Then I have 3 more units to go... O_o; On Sunday we had a family dinner and I forgot my brothers present upstairs. I ran upstairs wanting to get it, and on the way down tripped over my slipped, my toe bending funny, causing me to fall down the stairs. -_-; Megumi moved in on Friday and it has been a blast. She is really nice and cool. She has mostly been reading my manga. ^_^ Yesterday I only missed 2 on my geometry test (out of 17)!!! We talked about eating right also. My teacher explained why we turn to ice cream when sad, "... when you were little and fell down what did your parents give you when you fell down? They didn't shove a carrot in your mouth!!...if I want to feel good should I go for a nice jog or smoke some crack?... when my kids fell down I picked them up by the scruff of the neck and said 'stop snivaling you whimp!'..." haahaa. My geometry teacher is hilarious. In japanese I got 18.7 out of 20 on my Kanji test. Waan. How horrible. The teacher said to Megumi my Japanese is (reading,speaking,writing) is very good. *feeling proud* If only it was true.... Midterms are almost here, ahhhh. In Honors English we are doing short stories. I am still thinking, I want to write one using a story of mine from Japan. The best I can think of was the girl who came up and started talking to me and wouldn't let me leave (she had my ticket...). -_-; I am not all that worried about my classes.... just geometry. We are suppose to get our history presentation grades back on Friday, dun dun dun! We have a half day on friday also, so yay! Monday is also off. ^_^ Spring break will be coming soon, I am so excited....!! --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, March 27, 2002 at 10:54 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> iT Is OvEr!!! My History project is over! we went today and it sucked, but it is over. ahhhh. Deep sigh of relief. And the rest of my classes today are easy, my internet class and Japanese 4, cause we are only cooking tomorrow. Then computer applications, but hey. -_-; I have a japanese quiz tomorrow, which i am not really worried about, but kinda am. I have to have Kanji memorized and also make sentences with them. And geometry homework.... heehee, weeeeee. But I will be making cookies, so yay! ^_^ It is over!!! Oh yeah, Friday I have a WWII test... X_x; Oh joy...!! --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 at 09:24 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> My head hurts, the weather is so depressing. It has been raining for almost 2 weeks. How sad. I should be writting notecards for my teaching project tomorrow, yet, I am so tired. -_-; My group is really flaky, so I have had to do most of their work and make sure that they got it done, leaving me no time to get my work done. Waaaaah. I messed around with the ready made layout, yet, want to design my own. I am inspired, but do not have time to do it. It takes me forever to make and cut out a layout. Cursed. I talked with Megumi today, I am really happy that she will be my host sister. :D My Dad is still sick, but he seems to be getting better. I am worried that my partners will forget their stuff or something. Ahh shoot, I have to e-mail one of them with my bibliography. I wish I didn't have 7 classes... -_-; I hate basketball. That is what we are doing in P.E. A guy smacked my arm when I tried to shoot and I was like, "ow..." grr. My brain is not functioning properly, better take some medication or something. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Tuesday, March 19, 2002 at 04:04 p.m. <------------------------------------------------------------->
