Current Tune: Across the Universe (i am sam / Rufus Wainwright)
Hayley just called, bu-yah! :D Had a nice chat with her, helped me in my ever present goal of not studying for finals. ^_^ So, yes, I kind of had a busy weekend (Gasp!).
Friday: So, obviously I was very bummed out about my brothers cat having to be put to sleep. ;_; Luckily I had already planned something the day before with my friends that I couldn't get out of and mope around the house. I picked Hayley up at Inglemoor then we went to the college to meet my Japanese group and study for the oral that was today. (DUN!). Then we went back to my house and pigged out on crepes before the movie. Got to the movie theater about fifteen minutes early and then sat around for half an hour since Josh was late. Hayley and I were very productive in front of the theater ("Who let the cats our, Rowar, Rowar, Rowar!"). Hayley and I wanted to see a chick flick and such and ended up going to a different theater since the choices at the current one sucked. Ended up seeing Williard, something I can never seen again and die happy. Uggggh. Hated it. I didn't need to see rats eat a cat on THAT DAY!!! *shakes fist* Then we went to Diary Queen and had blizzards and talked outside in the parking lot for another twenty minutes. :) Oh yes, special message to Hayley: Oh baby, oh baby, of course I have this magnetic attraction to Shawn *rolls eyes*.
Saturday: Woke up around 11 AM, go me! I eventually worked on my study guide and got the questions answered for my Political Science study group. Even now, the night before the test, Keitra hasn't sent (or sent and it hasn't been recieved by anyone) her study guide. Bah. A lot of the answers I got were pretty... er... yeah. Why is the chief executive significant? "Because it is uniquely American and the people vote him in thus it's important." No, really! -_-; Luckily I can broaded those... let's just hope one of Keitra's terms wasn't on there (duh... caucuses?). I made a layout for a website I am going to make (along with my other one); both, of course, being Esca. related. :)
Sunday: Oh my... I don't really remember what I did... ^_^; Oh yes, I went through my English book and found all the literary terms I need to know for Thursday and typed those out... also went over my Poli Sci and Japanese notes. Other than that... oh yes, on Friday I finished my watercolor of a girl and charcoal of a cat for scholarships. :p I'm going to be meeting my teacher tomorrow about the scholarship letter... I have yet to figure out which graphic design one I'll be entering.. (doomed). I also finished this wallpaper I started awhile ago (yay me!).
Monday: So, today I attempted to wake up at 8:55... ha, yeah right. No high school = Anne is a lazy ass. I talked with LW's sister on MSN... :) Also, I studied Political Science some this morning and went over my Japanese some more. I also read manga, lots of manga. :p Got dressed... Eventually made paper carrots and onions for the presentation today then went to class. Kimiko, Dan, and I went second and I personally feel we did okay (or at least said, "Great, now we'll all look bad and she'll fail us all."). While watching/listening to others there were some mistakes ("How many hours do you study?" "10 o'clock!") but they did pretty good. Got home... more laziness... eventually got English done... watched Bush and his address to Iraq and the American people. And...yeah. Hayley called and had a nice chat with her (you go girl). :) I guess I'll go study now... hazzah to "having a life!".
Current Tune: Just a Girl (No Doubt)
Just one more Japanese and Political Science class, just one more then this quarter from hell will finally be over. -_- I need to get crap done for my final group thingy.. you know, group effort to define all the terms and shit. (wee). I have an essay, defining political parties, and also the Homeland Security Act (weee).
I'm on hiatus, again. I really ought to stop surfing around ff.net and finding stories (especially yours) that make me feel bad. Urgh. I was thinking of writing after finals next week but if I write again I'll probably wait until the week after since I won't have college classes in that week (until they start up again the next week, urgh). Hiatus ROCKS!!!
omigosh... my Dad just walked in and informed me that tomorrow my brother is putting our cat Cleo to sleep! NO! Her kidney's are failing, same with her general health in the past few months. Oh my gosh.. I can't believe it... I think I'm going to sign off the computer and literally cry now... fuck this.
Current Tune: Running (No Doubt)
Are you ever so tired that you just can't sleep? At the moment I'm very very tired but the whole process of getting ready to bed just seems like it'll take too much energy. That's me, all time low. -_-; I got my essay done though... sucks, but hey, it's done. Usually when I hate something I get a good grade... but I definately won't be holding my breath for that ideology.
The math homework... O_o; It took me SO long to do. I've forgotten most of what we have done which is really good since we are having a test on it on Thursday. Japanese I need to plan out something for our skit which is the oral... have the written exam on Wednesday... English is currently no worries since I got the book I have to have done by Thursday done on Saturday night. It's the quarter from (insert your choice of adjective). Seriously, I've lost around 10 lbs. this quarter. -_- I'm still loosing weight too... AND I'm not doing anything but sit around all the time. Something seems wrong with that...
*sigh* I feel like writing or something but yet am too lazy and tired. While I was doing my Math homework in my parents room my Mom was watching General Hospital. I made my usual comments (character says, "That dress color is my favorite color." Anne says, "Same with those boobs." (he was staring at them!!) and character, "Who could be trying to kill Sonny this time?" Anne, "Perhaps that sinister looking woman right there."). Half the time Mom ignores me but usually I can get a chuckle out of her. I also pointed out how with Soap Operas (or perhaps this is just me and my growing up with a Mom who watches them) that whenever they have sex (my virgin 18 year old eyes!) there is always some form of fire in the room be it fireplace or candles. Soap operas I guess are all about setting the mood and symbolism. I feel smarter just watching it (haaa haaa).
Current Tune: Let It Roll (Train)
Is Anne avoiding her essay by playing in Paint? Naw!
This weekend has been so much fun I really don't want to work. I went with Hayley yesterday to get her tattoo (to my Mom's pleasure I didn't get one... just you wait Mom! (laughs)). Last night Ingrid and I made a joint ff.net account: Maboroshi // Cinderella. Yes, form the worship lines right here. It certainly was interesting writing through MSN messanger and stuff. ^_^
Brothers are coming out for dinner to celebrate my birthday, ye-haw. Thus I should be working on the essay.. I don't know, intimidating little essay it is. -_-; It's just the point of writing it. I already have an outline, sources, etc and know what I am going to say but it's like... bah. You know the feeling when you can do something yet you don't want to since it's like pulling teeth? Meet my essay. -_-; *sigh* I must just suck up my breath and get it over with.... perhaps signing off the computer again and trying to write it out on paper again (I got my introduction done like that but was like, "ugh, have to type it on the computer when I'm done, might as well write it on the computer". Gets to computer, "hmm... internet..." -_-;). There is just no winning!!!
Current Tune: Again (Escaflowne)
Today is truly a wonderful and beauteous day indeed. Why is that? Because it's my birthday silly! :D I'll be 18 in about two hours and eighteen minutes, BU-YAH!! What I don't understand is WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH SNOW AND MY BIRTHDAY! I mean, I live in the Northwest, right? So we usually don't get snow past February but for the past two years we've gotten snow on my birthday. ^_^ Making up for a non-white Christmas perhaps? Ahh, I love snow. :)
So, tehehee! Happy birthday to me. ^_^ Hayley brought me flowers and a balloon I lovingly call "Snail" to school. Snail likes to hump heads. Seriously! I was walking to Health class and the damn balloon kept on attacking and rubbing my head! It did it to Peter too when class was over. Kayla also brought me flowers, aww! Feeling special. Much better than my horrid 17th birthday. (boo).
I think I'll go twirl around in the snow for a minute then get back to writing the next chapter of my story. Weee! 18 and feeling good! (well, not 18 for another two hours but hey..). :D :D :D
Current Tune: In The End (Linkin Park)
!!!!!! The presentation and English paper are FINALLY over! *does little victory lap around room in my mind, hehe* On Monday I stayed at school unti 8:10 making sure everyone was okay and such with the presentation though I was done around 7 ish. I went to bed around 10 that night since I was SO tired, meaning I got 9 hours of sleep on a school night. G.A.S.P.!! I even dreamed about the presentation... O_o When I did it I tripped up a few times but went ahead and did well I think. :p I saw my marks which were: 21/25, 15/15, 15/15, 15/15, and then the outline will be graded later. I'm HORRIBLE at public speaking thus I'm pretty proud of self for those marks. ^_^ Course, it'd me nice to know what they all stood for but I was to excited to care. I know one of those 15/15 was for my information and stuff, BU-YAH! Now all I need to worry about is the paper then finals in two weeks. -_-;
So last night I got into bed around 11 and was looking at my Japanese notes when I look over to pull the covers over me then...!! A SPIDER was on my sheets! Ugggh!! Hates spiders. O_o So I naturally went, "KYAAA!!!!!!" and went into my parents room and asked my Dad to kill it. Anne, the mighty warrior. hahaha.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYLEY BAYLEY!!! I can't believe that she is 18 (let alone that I'll be 18 in two days). O_o I stopped at the store on the way to school and got a purple bear and flowers and a nice balloon. You lucked out girl, I was eyeing the Barbie balloon for a minute there!!! Here's to you and the mutilation you're going to do to your body this weekend! *cheers!* When I showed the card to my Mom that I made (a faery, hehe) Noah said, "Is that the tattoo she is getting?" Mom: "What!? Hayley?! You know, Hayley!?" (gesturing with hands a small person, hehe!). Once Noah and I explained that Hayley is getting a tattoo Mom turned on me and gave me "the look" clearing trying to find out if I'm getting one. haha, changed my mind about getting one for the moment... :p Hazzah!
Current Tune: Feelings that transcend time (Inuyasha)
So which fairy tale archetype are you? Hmm??
made by Michelle at EmptySpace.
Ingrid is pissed at me. -_- I've been bad for the past week, school is crazy! My partners informed me that I am crazy for the amount of classes I'm taking. HA! We laugh at the face of danger, HAR HAR. (perhaps the amount has increased my insanity? I think so). --Anne battled with the evils of the computer on Monday, March 3, 2003 at 01:26 p.m.
Current Tune: Ai no Senshi (BSSM)
Two blog entries in one day. Intriguing! This essay is driving me nuts. I printed it out and went up to my drafting desk and suddenly found I could work on it to a certain extent. Now I have about two and a half pages done out of the three page minimum, so yay! I don't want to try and work on it anymore tonight, I'll just go to my high school and be there during first period to work on it. Now I'm reverting more so into my worrying about the Political Science presentation. Sure, I have three pages of outline but will I be able to talk about it for 8 minutes!?
Ingrid! I feel guilty for how I am during my work times. -_-; I'll dedicate my next fanfic chapter to you (although that doesn't really compare in price). Hmm.
I've been snacking a lot today, which is BAD. Been eating lots of peanuts. Also, to try and prevent myself from eating I've chewed four pieces of gum. -_-; I drank lots of water to keep myself up tonight so perhaps I can actually work on the essay and finish it tonight? (laughs). The te-form I've almost gotten... chi, ri, i goes to small tsu te; bi, mi, ni goes to -nde; ki is -ite; gi is -ide; shi is -shite; ikimasu is itte; okimasu is okite; abimasu is abite, dekimasu is dekite; shimasu is shite; and kimasu is kite.... HAZZAH!!! If this room was a pool I'd be doing a victory lap, bu-yah!
Current Tune: Dead Cirus BGM (BSSM)
URRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHH!!!!! That is how I am feeling on the inside. I've hurt my hand slamming my fist upon the wooden surface of the desk. ;_; I just can't write my English essay! GYA!! I think it is because I feel this total pressure to get it done by tomorrow when it isn't due until Tuesday. It's like... too much pressure to get it done and then I'm drawing a blank. -_- I mean, normally it wouldn't be that hard to write this stupid essay but lately... urgh. I hate senioristis.
Mom is down in L.A. until Tuesday night, single tear. ;_; Thus Dad proof read my essay (what I have thus far) and was like, "... it's 'okay'..." with the tone that clearly implies, "It sucks, re-write the whole damn thing". At least with my Mom she'll listen to my ideas and help me clear my thoughts. Gya, cry like a poor wounded animal. I've also been a complete cynical b**ch this week because of the work-load. ;_; I pity my friends (or perhaps by this point former friends). ahhhh.
I think I just need to get away from the computer and go sit in my room and study Japanese or something. I mean... I have 47 hours to get this essay done... it'll probably only take me three hours to write once I get over this writers block. Now I see what my teacher was talking about when she said her thoughts when writing essays always went to how the universe might collapse on itself and how doomed humanity is. SEE!!! Don't worry my friends, it's only my response to pressure! (not that it is an excuse). Moping about. stupid school. Why won't this school year end!?
Current Tune: Dad washing dishes in background
Uggggh, I can't wait until a week from today... wait, two weeks is probably better. I went to the open writing center today to get help with my presentation and the guy was, GYA!!! The basic implication is that I've interpreted everything ALL wrong and that civil rights has NOTHING to do with democracy and national security and the infrastructure with the Homeland Security Act has NOTHING of importance. He finally got me so annoyed and frusterated I was about to cry and I said I'd do more research and come back later. Then he said, "Well, I'm hear to help you, blah blah blah." "I'll just do research and come back later (edge in voice implying I want to get away from that @$$wipe)." "... I sense that you are frusterated, I can help you." "I just need to know more about it before I can write. I'll come back later." So then he got all mad and silent as I packed up my bags and got ready to leave, about to go into tears. Don't mess with me buddy, I've been stressed!!!!
So Mom called from D.C. and I guess they're getting lots of snow (between 5-9 about 3-4 inches..), meaning that she might not be coming home tomorrow. Noooo. Single tear. Dad and I cooked dinner tonight. I was in charge of the rice, haaa haaa. Some how when I put the brown rice into the rice cooker it started popping like popcorn (what the...?). Smelled funny but tasted okay, I guess.
I had coffee today between classes. I was just falling asleep and figure since I never (save Japan) drink it then it might wake me up. O_O It did... eww taste. Black coffee, ugh. I got my Political Science midterm back, A- baby!!! :D :D :D See Ingrid, my stress "helps" me... haha, noticed your blog entry. I'm better about my writing now... I still don't think it's the best but hey, it's good and improves with each chapter (or at least I hope... O_o) and I enjoy doing it. ^_^ And geez! Why do you think I hate you? haha, I doubt you'll read this... I wonder who does? Head hurts... should go take head ache medicine or something... *smacks head against desk in mind*
Current Tune: The Vision of Escaflowne (Escaflowne)
hehe, highly amused. Today in Japanese we were practicing money (something I excelled at... can't say the same for the "te-form" though...) and Y-sensei came up and was like, "So work with him," to me. I looked over at Leigh and said, "She." "Yes, work with him." "S.h.e." "he~?! uso! (what?! You lie!)." "Leigh's a she..." "he~?! uso!" Then Leigh said, "I'm a girl..." "he!? Hontou!? Otoko no ko janai... uso! (What!? Really!? You're not a guy... you lie!" Then I started cracking up and Leigh was bright red in the face, laughing too. Y-sensei finally got it and apologized thinking all this time that Leigh was a guy. HAHAHAHA!!!!! We had a good laugh about that. It's happened to her quite often, highly amused. ^_^ Leigh also finds it funny. :)
Current Tune: Miko (Inuyasha)
Whoa, long time no blog. That's got to be a first for me. O_o Except when I lived in Japan, but that year didn't count, of course. Muffy is sitting on my knee thus I'm avoiding going upstairs to get my English book... if only I understood my Math then I could work on it since the book is right here. *dramatic sigh*
School is crap, par usual. I have a presentation on Tuesday on the Homeland Security Act. I'll be discussing infrastructure and national security for eight minutes, oh joy. I also have an English paper due that day (hazzah!). Luckily the poli. sci. paper which is due 3/11 is the same topic as the presentation. Ahh, I'll work on that paper after this horrid presentation.
Have gotten obsessed with this Korean Drama, Autumn in my Heart. So sad!! I don't even understand Korean, haa haa. Won this auction at ebay for a copy of it (gya, ... O_o), but parents are going to be giving it to me for my 18th birthday next week. ^_^ Very excited indeed.
Current Tune: The Show Must Go On (Moulin Rouge)
Herrm. So utterly and completely bored. I love how my Japanese class is so strict and to the scedule while my other two classes whatever structure there is the teachers constantly have to change due to something going wrong. I hope we only watch a movie in Poli. Sci. tomorrow, that'd be nice (that promised movie from Tuesday, ahhh).
I feel like writing a fanfic. Hmmm. No. Bad. I ran on the treadmill for 6 minutes (two laps). Should have done more, but hey, it's all good. My life is becoming dependant upon this, this... crazy mind worping machine! Urgh! I should go on the Anti-Internet Campaign again. Stay away from the machine as much as possible, lessen this crazy dependancy I've developed.
Course, that would mean less writing. HA! Also means I could get stuff accomplished quicker (say, for example, my scholarship drawings that are due in a month or two). I don't know what to draw, pathetic whimper. I feel meaningless tonight. -_- I don't have much work, just re-reading the same chapters of the poetry crap, AGAIN. Urrrgh. Damn existance, stupid machine and my dependancy on you! I should unhook it for a few days. (evil grin).
Current Tune: Underneath It All (No Doubt)
I found the kid! :D :D :D That was the highlight of my day, actually find the place I was suppose to pick him up. ^_^ Very proud of self considering I have a horrid sense of direction with the actual directions themselves. When I was driving to the school I was like, "I totally remember this!!" since Katie's Mom used to work there.
So, yes, Ingrid gave me a challenge fanfic idea. Been thinking about it... hmm... I feel like writing it but I need to develop more of an idea and such. Got this review saying I don't really have a plot for Changing Seasons. ha... Not insulted (crawling under rock to cry). Oh well, I "like" it, so there. HA! Meet strong Anne! The babysitter who just sat through Babe... the memories... I haven't watched that since 7th grade French class. Thinking of that pig saying (pardon the horrid French, I haven't studied it in almost four years), "Je m' appelle Babe!", har har!!!
Got my English midterm back today... *hanging head in shame* a 79. -_-; Darn it! I didn't really study so that's "okay" I guess. -_-;;; I got the double quiz and this other quiz back today and they were both A's so I'm not too worried about the class. Wait... we're going into poetry.. GYA!!!!!!
Current Tune: Feelings that transcend time (Inuyasha)
-_- Am awake yet not. Tired.... I think I've gotten too used to staying awake until 1 AM and waking up around noon this three day weekend. Accursed college classes! Ah shit... hopefully the teachers won't expect much this week. I still need to finish my English reading, hahaha... Only a little more. Hmm.
So the good news is that I'm babysitting tonight and have no friggin' idea where I am suppose to pick the kid up. I guess it is by/at an elementary... of course the Mom called me when I was busy thus wasn't paying attention. Ahhh shit, I'm screwed. T_T The Art Institute still hasn't e-mailed me back meaning I'll need to call them before I go to Cascadia... or perhaps I should just come home between classes today to get that over with, figure out where the hell YMCA is, and get my English analysis of these evil poems over with. -_- I hate how my high school is on mid-winter break... it should be some universal school thing. grr grr.
Current Tune: I Will Survive (Cake)
Feeling fat. -_- Stayed over at Hayley's house last night and we ate so much food. *_* Oh well, still young and can run on the treadmill sometime today...
Sierra got into the food that was left on the counter. So basically the yellow lab ate a package of oreos and a loaf of bread. -_- The dogs just went wild and ran down the stairs barking their heads off. Discovered the FedEx just dropped something off (uggh, Cast Away memories...). Perhaps it's that cellphone that lady was talking to me about a week or so ago... hmm...
So tomorrow I am babysitting, wee! This kid is actually pretty standable, in kid standards of course. Course, I'm suppose to pick him up at the YMCA by some elementary before 6 when my class gets out at 5:35... hmm... luckily my English teacher usually lets us out around 5:15. A fun filled night of babysitting! D'oh! The kid won't have homework, cursed be the day! Oh well, he goes to bed around 8 or something, an hour or so to study Japanese. Insert evil laughter. ha ha ha ha. Oooh yeah, remembering Grease from last night. First time I've seen it that I can actually remember. "Don't make me laugh. Ha ha ha ha."
Current Tune: Every Heart (Inuyasha)
I seriously think that Muffy needs her claws clipped. She is sitting on my leg while I type and her claws are sinking into my skin. Pain.... I don't really want to pick her up and put her on another chair since she looks comfortable (clawing my leg to death...).
So I am trying to figure out what I should do today. Hmm. I feel kind of like designing and working on websites yet don't... I feel like writing yet don't... perhaps I should get Leigh over here and work on one of the Mullet-Revolution. Hear the masses scream in sheer horror and terror. It feels nice not to have anything really to do until Tuesday yet... -_- At least I had something to do. *grumble* Perhaps I'll wander or eat a thing of yoguart.
you are not a bitch!
The Bitch Test by umi
Have they met me? Hmm... kind of comforting that an online quiz doesn't think I'm as much of a bitch as I think I am.... --Anne battled with the evils of the computer on Saturday, February 15, 2003 at 11:55 a.m.
Current Tune: One Day I'll Fly Away (Moulin Rouge)
As Anne sat in front of the computer screen her eyelids slowly became heavier. Glancing up at the clock she noted the time was 10:30 then continued surfing the internet. It was only Thursday, nothing but a math test tomorrow. With a sigh Anne realized that perhaps she should get off her lazy butt and actually go upstairs and get her shower over with so she could review for the math test. Yet... she had done the review assignment fine. Perhaps review before she went to bed?
Now I bet people think I have mental issues, something I just discussed in my Health project. Ahh yes, the wonderous collage representing my physical, social, and mental wellness. One simply phrase: I'm messed up. ha.
Planned out the next chapter of Changing Seasons, ye-haw! Thus that earlier paragraph was prep for tomorrow... hopefully I can write tomorrow... hm... It is kind of nice having people harass me to get it done. :p My ego's glossy coat is slowly wearing off. Ahh it feels like Friday, this week just will never end. Tomorrow I'm going to volunteer at an animal shelter, very excited. GYA!!!! Tomorrow is V-day! O_O Have to get stuff to make my buddy Hayley Bayley a card. ^_^ The other friends and I have a mutual we don't do anything, plus it is a lovers holiday (you silly person Hayley Bayley). The e-mail was highly amusing, I was laughing out loud. ^_^ Tomorrow we rebel against V-day and the corporate ploys! Rebel!! An update to my depressing story, bring on the revolution!! (haha, I forgot that phrase from sophomore year, ha ha).
Current Tune: vogue (Ayumi Hamasaki)
Yet again I'm on my anti-internet campaign. *sigh* I have a feeling I get depressed because of the internet thus I think that I will stay away from it more. Hmm... how long will Anne keep that resolution?
Today we got out of Political Science about forty-five minutes early, yay! :D He was sick of everyone yawning. I'm happy that horrid paper is FINALLY done. I don't want to get my expectations too high for how I did on it... kind of worried... gya. My friend Lee didn't even bother turning one in. -_- At least I know that I will do better than her at least... English we got out about thirty-five minutes early since it was the teachers kids first birthday and she, like us, did not want to be there. ha.
So here is a picture of my cat Muffy. Isn't she cute? She is pretty pre-historic too. That cat is older than I am (meaning she is probably 18 or something). She is currently sitting on my knee purring; what a cutey!!
