Current Song: Mononoke-hime (Mononoke-hime) Did you ever have a time when you actually want to blog yet your internet connection was stupidly taken off the computer? Yeah, I kind of uninstalled AOL out of annoyance and have had no internet. T_T whimper. I can't wait to get the new computer... we just need to do our research. I found out my SAT scores... lower than expected, however good considering I never did study or anything.... Thus far we haven't done anything today... in English we watched a movie (110 minute classes); Geometry we watched a movie; P.E. we sat there. erm. yes. Thus far my grades that I know of: English: A (98.3%! I can't believe it!); Geometry: B (higher than expected, no more geometry!!! *dances on Geometry book*; Distance Learning: A!! :) and that is all I know thus far. I got my yearbook, I swear you could kill someone with it. Kayla dropped it on my hand the other day. Ow. Ow. It hurt. Ahhh! I am done with all homework for junior year! I did my history final yesterday, 7 pages and a poster I spent 5+ hours on. argh. Then I had another essay, which I didn't care about after a weekend of history so just wrote nothing, but got 19/20 on it. heehee. yay. I can't wait for summer. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Monday, June 17, 2002 at 02:11 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song: Futari no Gomen Ne (Excel Saga) Ahhhhhhhh, my English presentation is over. :) I went to English early (1st period, so its all good) and Megumi helped me dress up in my yukata (summer kimono). So I got it all set up, my Kyoto map and put the books up and Ashley who was going after me to make me nervous said, "Don't mess up Anne!!" -_-; My reply was along the lines of, "Thanks a lot! :)" It is weird, when i get nervous I talk a lot. Megumi was scared since I was talking so much. Oooh boy did I talk a lot. Mrs. E really loved my mask and wanted to keep it, so I am going to try to take pictures then give it to her. Tomorrow is my Geometry "final", or a test on chapter 12. Let's see, distance learning is one more essay and then the final... today I am staying after school to do one more assignment to catch up (since while I was gone my grade dropped to a C! Oh no, I am in the suicidal mood again. Also, I can get the part of Ryan and my presentation done. I have to go the counselor today since he was sick yesterday, of course. sigh. These people are interesting human beings.... -_-; --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Thursday, June 13, 2002 at 10:20 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song: Sakura Saku (Love Hina) Umm.... yes. A girl in my distance learning just broke out into song about how she is loosing her mind. Yes.... umm... I am loosing my mind in my own respect. Today I forgot my manga which I am translating for my final project in Japanese, and also my application for Running Start. I am going to the go have the school sign the form to allow me to take the classes (ummm...). argh. Yesterday I forgot Memoirs of a Geisha, which I was going to look through to find quotes for my presentation tomorrow. I also forgot my notebook which I rip paper out of. -_- my mind is slowly going. Only 2 more notebook topics, well, I have to correct the third one, but hey! Then the final project and I am done. I am getting pretty good as b.s. the information.... well, not really b.s. but just talk on and on about it. I don't know, it was 11:30 and tired. I went to the bookstore last night for the "anime thingy" as I call it. They showed us how to draw, which was of no use to me. I thought they would do something productive. One of the ladies there annoyed Leigh and her friends (who's names I don't remember) and myself. She makes her profession drawing manga style, yet can't PRONOUNCE THE WORD!!!!! ARRRGGHHHH. It would be cool to draw manga style here in America, but I don't know if they are that developed and would like my stories. argh. I want a new computer. *tsukarata --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, June 12, 2002 at 09:36 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song: I Want to Change The World (Inu Yasha) Only 8 more days of school left, count em, 8 more days. Quiet all you people out there who are out of school, I live in the great Northwestern part of the U.S. thus it is colder, and when we actually have summer we want to use it!!! Back to the school subject... ^_^ In Distance Learning I have 3 more essays and a final project to finish. I am going to sit down and work on them when I get home from school, however, I am going to the bookstore tonight to go to a class called, "How to Become a Manga Artist." Should be interesting. In English we have book reports (presentation form), which I am slowly getting ready for. I did my creative presentation, now just need to write the notecards for the talking. ^_^ The Seniors are gone, free parking on campus, ahhhh. I spent four days in Las Vegas, my brother is finally married! :) The ceremony was sooo pretty, we took lots of pictures. Jody was beautiful in her dress, the professional photo-dude got a picture of Adam when Jody saw Jody and he had the biggest grin on his face. I am happy for my brother. :) The weather down there was horrible! June 7th, the day my brother got married, was 107 F outside. Okay, the hottest it gets where I usually live is 90 F on the hottest day in summer, with a moist kind of heat. Down there was a hot-non-moving type, blaaaaaaah. I spent most of the time in the hotel room since, alas, I am under 21 years of age. Noah got drunk at the party after the wedding *highly amused* All in all it was fun but I feel no urge to go back to Vegas anytime soon. DUDE! We are getting a new computer in a few weeks! After Megumi leaves my brother Josh and I are going shopping, although he likes Mac's and they don't like me (I'm a PC type girl). so yeah! In honor of it I will get new graphics software and HTML crap and make a new domain, hopefully. I plan on doing nothing really this summer, other than perhaps college applications. *really scared* I find out the SAT scores next week (really scared). Ahhhhhh, i can technically find out the scores, GASP, tomorrow!! for $6.50. Hmm... I don't know if I want to... Anywhooooooo, better go to P.E. Yay. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Tuesday, June 11, 2002 at 11:47 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: None utter pain. pain beyond all comprehension... dieing. ow. But yay! I am going to Las Vegas tomorrow! I am very excited about missing school for two days. and! My brother marriage is an added bonus. Very exciting. ^_^ 5 more essays in Distance Learning plus the final, will Anne get done by Monday?? I wonder... --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, June 5, 2002 at 09:19 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: The Imperial March (Star Wars) which Episode II character are you? Probably the greatest Jedi Knight of all. Like Obi Wan, you are wise and keep your feet on the ground at all times. You will not be outsmarted by anyone. You are always faithful to your friends. Be careful though, danger lurks around every corner - you could even be betrayed by those closest to you. Yes. I love Star Wars. Love Love Love Love. ^_^ Ryan's Quote of the Day I love Star Wars and all, but a little Ace Ventura 2 is in order... I sense it... "Your request is not unlike your lower intestine, stinky and loaded with danger!" - Jim Carrey, Ace Ventura 2, MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU (anne agrees) --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Monday, June 3, 2002 at 02:06 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Star Wars Theme Bwha! I am in some sort of mood right now. On Saturday I took the SAT's. fun. I woke up around 6:45 AM and went and ate breakfeast. I went into my parents room and was pathetic whimpering about a stomach ache (which I have had since last Wednesday) then got dressed. My Mom drove me out to the test site, which was only about 20 minutes away from the house. I listened to the Escaflowne movie soundtrack since that music is nice and purtty. At the site Chelsea was there and I was surprised and talked with her until the site opened then went upstairs. The test was easier than i thought it would be, however that probably meant I failed it. T_T I find out in a month I think, ahhhhh well. On Friday I went and got my hair trimmed for the wedding. My brother will offically be a husband in 4 days, weird. Well, offically they will be a couple on Wednesday (getting the license), but the ceremony is on Friday, so there. Anyway, I took Megumi out with me and got the hair trimmed. It was funny, I had horrible split ends (one hair had like four). -_-;;; We went over to the mall since it was across the street and I went to Suncoast. They were having a sale, anime for $2.99. I was excited until I saw the choices, bleck. I bought El Hazard #7, though I do not know why. I don't really like the series, however I have only seen volume 3 thus far. ^_^; But! I was in there looking at the DVD's, all "doo doo doo doo, anime dvd's" when I saw this paper saying the Escaflowne movie was coming out on DVD July 23!!!! I was sooo excited and I placed an order for it. There was two versions, the regular and the "Limited Edition". -_- I don't have enough money to pay $44 on anime, and I am not sure I want to. Sunday I went and saw Star Wars episode 2 with my Mom, brother and his girlfriend, and Megumi. We went to the fancy pants theater with the digital everything downtown. It was sooo cool!! :) There was this guy behind us who talked all throughout the movie until he started yelling at the people infront of him and they got the cops who kicked him out. The Yoda fight scene kicked butt! go yoda! Everyone started cheering when he came on. That was awesome. I don't understand why people don't like the movie, I really enjoyed it. At first it was slow starting, but it was cool. I throughly enjoyed it. Currently at home I am internetless. On Saturday after the SAT's I decided to get stuff done, like make a website or something and uninstall AOL. Argh. That program is the object of why my computer is soooo messed up (despite it's 10 years of age -_-). So I uninstalled it and was happy and then I put in the earthlink CD.... -_-;;;; Turns out the computer has only 15 MB of RAM and earthlink needs 32 or something. My brother Josh says he will fix it when Mom gets the RAM, so I won't have internet until we get back to Vegas. arrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh. whimper, internet... (oh well, I only go on about twice a week, but it the point of not having it that makes me want it). ^_~ --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Monday, June 3, 2002 at 10:54 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Bad Cops, Bad Cops (Simpsons) yay. I am in computer applications right now, bored out of my mind, what else is new. Ryan just hacked the system, or at least on his computer. I don't know, kinda shady if you ask me. I have the SAT's tomorrow.. yes. I am not scared yet.... I think if I keep an even head about it I might do okay, if not I will simply take it again. Ah. Oh no, Ryan found out how to change the computer settings, seriously scared. Ryan's Quote of the Day!!! "Bonjourrrrrrr ya cheese eatin', surrender monkeys!" - Willy, tHE sIMPSONS! --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Friday, May 31, 2002 at 02:18 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song: Okaasan (Tonari no Totoro) Ugh. In P.E. I was walking past a basketball game, all innocent, and these two guys ran into me. They did it at such force, ouch. Everyone on the basketball team laughed and after a few minutes a guy asked if I was okay, course not the jerks who ran into me. -_- so, my arm is bruised and my side as well, and in the process I got my elbow shoved into my side causing me to feel sick. So, I didn't go to school yesterday. T_T Oh well, it was my easy day. And... and... my Mom had me work on my Distance Learning essay, an essay on Civil Rights. It took me about 2 1/2 hours and I didn't want to write anymore. I have about.... 7 left. ^_^ Only 7 compared to 8... -_-; Today in geometry we were getting yelled at about our lack of Science knowledge ("I am going to go yell at your science teachers!!!!") when Mr. W started talking about cal. and Cal. A girl who sits a few seats away from me once she heard about the heat energy in food asked, "Well, what if we eat cold food??" making the class burst out laughing. Tomorrow is "Viking Day" (mascot=viking, yay yay) so we party, I think. I rather go home. -_- SAT is two days away, whoe is me. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Thursday, May 30, 2002 at 10:24 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song: Evolution (Ayumi Hamasaki) dodododo. hehehehe. Argh. I just had history and we had a really cool substitute. :) He used to be a prop designer in Hollywood and worked for many movies, and he had really interesting stories. The people in my seating group were kinda asses towards him, course, the certain guy I refer to yelled at me today (he was saying the middle finger means nothing in sign language and I said it did in Japan, and he said, "I wasn't talking about Japan, was I?!" argh). I am going to a baseball game tonight, yay yay! (anne doesn't really care for baseball, but hey). Megumi and I made posters for it (in Japanese) since they are usually broadcasted in Japan. The first poster says, "Tsu Nishi (my old high school) and Hisai City Kato Family and finally Megumi's home city (I forget the city name... ^_^)" then "Everyone! Can you see~~? Are you well? Anne and Megumi are well!! did we surprise you?!" then finally, "(baseball teams name) (Japanese players names) good luck!" heehee. I made pictures on them. The first one I put a Sailormoon picture on the "to everyone poster", then I made pictures of pikachu since people think of Pokemon when they think Japan (I think.. :D). argh. be finished day. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Friday, May 24, 2002 at 08:47 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Can You Keep A Secret? (Utada Hikaru) bwhaahaaa, i don't have to go to computer applications, bwhaahaahaaaaaaaa. ^_^ I am about to head out for my orientation, however I am waiting a few minutes to prevent getting stuck in high school traffic (note the reason I take 7th period (not really, but hey)). I feel so evil for skipping, and nervous (well, I had a note and signed out of the office). I think I am nervous about going to the Running Start orientation, gyaaaaaa. Anyway.... yeah, I have to go the the bathroom (a bit of information i am sure you wished to know). --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Thursday, May 23, 2002 at 01:49 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune : Stand By Me (John Lennon) Baaaa, I just finished writing my essay for Distance Learning. I feel somewhat... eww. I had the topic: There has been an almost continuous debate about the statement "all men are created equal" from the Declaration of Independence. Do you think that Jefferson meant to exclude women or did he intend for "men" to mean "humans"? aaaa. That was not a fun essay to write. Unit 2 (I finished reading, now I am writing all the essays, go anne) has horrible essay topics, eww yucky. *kicks Unit 2* GET MORE INTERESTING! There are a choice of 6 topics, and I have to make 3 essays. *grumble grumble* Do a topic I am interested in!! Wa~~~n. Oh well, 1 down.... 8 more and a final project to go. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, May 22, 2002 at 10:39 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song: Moonlight Destiny (BSSM) I am not sure if I am really supposed to be stressed out about the SATs. I was looking at my planner for next week and in big handwriting for June 1st says, "SAT 1!!!". Hmm.. ah well. I think that it is good that I am not stressing out about it, what should stress do for me, nothing. Only fail my test probably. Megumi has been wanting me to take her to the bank and post office after school so Monday night we loaded 3 boxes of her crap into the car into the trunk. Yesterday she didn't ask me until we got home if we could go to the bank. I don't even think she asked until like 4:30, and we had to pick Mom up at 5, which was when the bank closed. Arrrgh. Plus, she didn't tell me that all she needed was an ATM, and then the post office time. -_- So, I told her yesterday that today we would go, so I reminded her again this morning and she was like, "oops, I forgot my ATM card..." ARGH. This is just wrong, 2 classes of history back-to-back where they are both 110 minutes. I am all history-ed out. I have to finish my current essay and start the next one, brain failing, trying to stay alive. I went to bed at 9:30 last night, aaaaaa, that felt good. I plan on it again. My geometry teacher is going to yell at us tomorrow, 2/3 of the class failed the test yesterday. Oops. I *almost* got a D though... (still, that isn't good anne). -_- I hate geometry. Leigh, Megumi, and myself have been watching SailorStars season. ^_^ We are on the second to last tape (yes, we are that bored). Megumi and I watched the first season ending yesterday, since we were bored. Perhaps I should use my boredom time to actually study.... -_- --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, May 22, 2002 at 09:19 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> current tune: aaaa. The SAT's. I am not really worried, but I have been feeling stupid lately. I mean, some newcasters daughter got a 1600 on them, I think I will get a negative number. *argh* --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Monday, May 20, 2002 at 11:11 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: You Rock My World (Michael Jackson) RYAN'S QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Jammed! But what flavor? (Tastes jam running down screen)Raspberry... LONESTAR!!! I hate raspberry!" - Dark Helmet, Spaceballs Thanx everybody, until we meet again, live long and prosper! - Ryan --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Friday, May 17, 2002 at 01:27 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune : Ai No Senshi (BSSM) Thus far the day has been okay, all my hard classes are over. ^_^ English we had presentations, and we had a free write, bwhaahaaa. Sleep, the state of utter bliss; Evil daylight, evilness of the world; Morning Wake me up, cursed be the day; I feel like scribbling: (insert scribbling on 8 lines of notebook paper); woman in the forest with a black dress...; SYMBOLISM! Watashi wa hontou ni tsukareru yo! Nemutai! Kore wa baka no koto.... kaeritai. Mou yadda!!! (insert a line of my pen) <--- A line. GREEN MARKER!! haahaa. I had fun. In U.S. History we finished watching the WWII movie that was all dramatic, DUN DUN DUN!!! In geometry we talked about bones then about the brain, then the differences of male and female brains. Before class I was sitting there, as usual, and Kayla walked up to the board and wrote "Annie" on it. I got up and said, "Don't do that! He'll come in here and yell like ' why are you doing that!?'" and she started laughing as Mr. W walked to his desk. -_- dun. Go Anne. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Friday, May 17, 2002 at 10:27 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: working for vacation (cibo matto) I got 20/20 on my distance learning essay, I turned in my cold war essay today (1,201 words.. :D), graduation crap announced today, and I have P.E. next. -_- Other than P.E..... kyou wa ii hi da ne!!! --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Thursday, May 16, 2002 at 11:20 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song: Ashita no Tameni Mo (Every Little Thing) interesting..... this too. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, May 15, 2002 at 10:49 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Song: Dear My Friend (Every Little Thing) "It was man who ended the Cold War in case you didn’t notice. It wasn’t weaponry, or technology, or armies or campaigns. It was just man. Not even Western man either, as it happened, but our sworn enemy in the East, who went into the streets, faced the bullets and the batons and said: we’ve had enough. It was their emperor, not ours, who had the nerve to mount the rostrum and declare he had no clothes. And the ideologies trailed after these impossible events like condemned prisoners, as ideologies do when they’ve had their day." --- John le Carre heeheehee. Anne was having fun with this page today. We had a discussion today in History, a good 50 points of our grade. We couldn't raise our hands, we just had to speak up without interupting people. argh. If I tried to speak someone would speak, then once they were done then someone would do it quickly. I wanted to comment on the current war (since I was in a different nation during Sept. 11 and can interpret our actions differently). yeah. *afraid* I don't know, I think someday my "worldy views" as my Mom calls them will get me hurt. O_o; Scary. Anyway, we have a history essay tomorrow. I was going to start writting it last night but decided the 5 hours of sleep the night before was not sitting well in my ol' brain and went to bed by 9:15 PM. haahaa. It felt wonderful (I am Anne, hear me roar!). I am not too worried about the essay, we have to write about the cold war (thus the quote) and it has to be 500-600 ish words. Easy. *people smack anne upside head for comment.* Well, I don't know... essays can be hard to write, but when you are interested in the topic it can be fun/easy. I am interested in the Cold War, so there. I finally finished a notebook (an essay... -_-) for my internet class, thus why I am blogging (avoiding starting the next one, go anne). It had to be 5 paragraphs, but mine was only 4. O_o; However, it was 2 pages plus a little. I am pretty proud of that essay! Better get better than my other grades he gave me (I work, work, work and am proud of my work and usually get 15/20, cursed be the day!!!). Perhaps I should revert to the "2 sentences on a question" like everyone else does in here. NO! I am an over-achiever and damn proud of it! ROAR!!!! --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Wednesday, May 15, 2002 at 10:38 a.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: Ribun Revolution (Utena) (I think...) Here I am again in computer applications. The next project is having "issues", as in we can't get the file open and the teachers are trying everything to get it open. You go. yay. I had my English presentation today, it sucked, but it is over, so yay! I stayed up until 11:30 last night making a picture of a Buddhist priest, looking at a picture from Saiyuki of a random priest. He looks evil, so I have been going around to my friends today saying, "Look at the evil priest, ooooooh!!" In P.E. I was tired and leaning against the wall while talking with my friends and my hair got stuck in a screw and a bunch got ripped out. Waaaan. Sadness. I wonder if carpool is here today, I hope so (going home alone is sad, Megumi is at her friends house today). Ryan dropped the class, T_T. No more quotes of the day. Sadness. Oh yeah, I am going to write what a wonderfully amazing person Kelsey is, since she is so brilliant and all that wonderful shit. Feel special Kelsey, the world knows who you are. --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Tuesday, May 14, 2002 at 2:22 p.m. <-------------------------------------------------------------> Current Tune: heehee. I don't know. Right now it is "Japanese" class, however there are only three of us here today and we had the choice to go to the library or not. I archived my blog today, I really need to do something about this blog. eh. I might get a new computer this summer, so might get another domain thingy. Free servers are a pain in the butt. grr. I have to go to the library today to work on my english project again. We were all ready and then group 1 went and it was soooo good, it made us feel like shit. Argh. Madaline and Luna got in a "fight" this morning. Luna my chunky little kitty thought she would stand up against madaline and show her who's house it was. Well, Madaline being about twice as large as Luna just hissed and scared the shit out of Luna who ran back upstairs. That cat ((Luna)) was throwing me invisible hate bombs last night. Cats *rolls eyes* My eye really really really really hurts right now, I think I got some sort of spray in it or something, it hurts. (pain, wimper). Oh yeah! I got the orientation date for Running Start! :D~ Happy! I get to miss some of my 7th period class too, darn it. I cleaned the car yesterday, I mean the whole nine yards. I washed it, vacuumed it, and cleaned out all the crap (papers, etc). When i got to school today I stood admiring the car as Megumi tried to get out, commenting on how clean and wonderful it looks for my effort (watch as it is covered in mud since I park on the street). The world is an interesting place, yup yup yup.... --Anne banged her head against the keyboard on Monday, May 13, 2002 at 1:39 PM <------------------------------------------------------------->
