WAAAH I NEED IT! *rampages to IRC*

Waah, the last couple of days have been unexpectedly but wonderfully excellent. First, I joined Knowledge Bowl.. I thought it'd be boring at first, but it's awesome!! I love it on many different levels, hehe. The competition on Thursday was so much fun! Bus ride was great, too! Laura's so sweet and cool and Tommy's so hilarious.. and Nathan (a senior) is really smart and cool and funny! Hehe and he plays Final Fantasy too! I hope we can be friends! *grins* and I learned that Jeremy (the GOD of sax) was in German Year 3! Im Jazz Band sollen wir Deutsch sprechen! ..I don't think that made sense. Oh well. Blame die Lehrerin XP ahh I'm such a dork. Moral of the story: Knowledge Bowl rocks.

A couple of other really good things happened.. In Health, we had to do this lovely project where we were to make a presentation convincing a make-believe business to start up a fitness program. My assigned group, which consisted of a pot dealer, a complete moron, and a very nice but quite frankly, dumb guy, miraculously got a perfect score. XD I had to do everything that involved thinking, but hey; it was all good. The teachers (regular teacher and student teacher) both realized that I did all of the work, which was good since they think I'm studious now, hehe.

Mmm, what else.. Oh! My student didn't make it today either. YES! *she's such a pain* She called and said she was "sick," my dad said, using the most obviously fake coughing act he's ever heard in his life. ... *cracks up*

And finally, I got to have some really amusing conversations with Jinny throughout the day XDXD Like in the morning, on the bus, on the phone.. it was great. It's always great to talk with Jinny :D

Tomorrow I have a jazz band performance AND a piano recital. o_o Scary! But exciting too~ I must go to bed now. Byebye!

Guuu. I've had only four and a half hours of sleep and no caffeine ._. I'm sooo tired.. I have so much homework too, and a lovely 3 hour concert in an hour and a half...oh my. The biology test tomorrow will be.. sehr interessant as Heidi und ich sagen. Hehe. Can't wait.

Man, I sound so retarded when I haven't gotten enough sleep. *grins* So I'll write more later.

Yo yo yo I got a new layout, complete with green smileys :) I'm actually rather pleased with it. It feels so Asian ^_^ And the color scheme actually matches. It's amazing! I was so tired of my last layout. Much too plain, not friendly enough. The picture was pretty boring, too. This one is a lot more lively, and green! XD

Hmm, the last few days haven't been too great for me as a whole :/ but today was pretty nice! I got lucky; three tests that could have potentially screwed over my grade in each class were surprisingly and retardedly easy. (I hadn't studied for any of the tests because I had too too much homework last night and I was sooo shleepy) But the Biology unit final was soo long! I had to stay after school to finish it. Which, by the way, had interesting consequences. I called home to get a ride, but no one was there. Meaning, I was stranded at school for about an hour o_o;; Luckily Mr. DePalatis was there, so I spent my time in the band room organizing forms and things XD Then when I finally got home, I got half-yelled at for some reason. o_O; Well actually, I think it was just my parents feeling bad for stranding me at school. I'm pretty sure their way of showing their love is by yelling.. no joke! And no bitterness, honestly. That's just their way of doing things :) So, I guess I'm touched XD

Wow, I spent basically all Friday night on the computer, designing, coding and uploading. For most people that would be pathetic, or a thing of shame. But for a nerd, it's an average Friday night XD God bless nerds!

Well I'm going to sleep now~ good night!

[note: AAAHHH I stupidly deleted my last post >__x I hate that.]

Oh my God. Go read this now:
PETA Billboard Causes Controversy

...
.....
*LAUGHS INSANELY*

How in the hell was PETA allowed to post that billboard?? XDD Some naive old lady who didn't get the entire picture thought it'd be okay? God, that's funny. And I like soy milk, too. Not gonna go vegan though. But you gotta admit, PETA is pretty darn commited to their values.

...muahaha, it's still funny XDD
(and this is funny too, though a bit vulgar. It's a response to the billboard, written from Santa's perspective XD that link was jacked from here btw.. in return, I voted for your site for best looking weblog! hehe)

Today was so nice.. it really makes a huge difference to have adequate amounts of sleep! (seven hours~ sweet deal) PNW was boring but tolerable. German was really entertaining because I have Heather in that class *grins* I am so thankful fuer das Maechen! hehe. She puts up with all of my cynical/lame/nonsensical ramblings and she's just great fun to be around.. we gotsta hang out over break, woman! XD Shopping, mayhap? (muahaha I told her about the PETA thing I mentioned last post and we were cracking up for like 10 minutes straight, thus pissing off frau bensch.. XD ahhh good times...)

After German, I had Health. Health was.. not bad! Learned a lot about drugs, more than I ever knew or wanted to know :yuck: like how cocaine can be taken in through the anus o__o; Oh, and then there was an.. interesting session of masterbation jokes, led by the teacher o.O;;;; ....um, oh wow. Class period went fairly quickly, needless to say XD

Then came lunch, and I opened the Christmas present I got from Meg! There was a Rufi keychain, a Naruto pencil board, and mostest, BESTEST, GNARLIEST of all was this Mashimaro "Pork and Spoon" set!! (pork = engrish for fork) XDDD It's sooo adorable; I absolutely love it! I'm never going to use it to preserve its utter coolness. *worships* Following lunch was math, which didn't involve anything too memorable, so I'll just say math was math. Oh, and Andy's a funny liar, hehe.

After school, I had Knowledge Bowl. Fun as always! I'm so happy; I actually contribute to the group because I know a lot of the grammar/English questions :) It's really funny; the sophomore team (which I'm a part of) also seems to know all the drug-related questions XD Thank you, Health class! And today, Mr. Webb was reading. I *adore* Mr. Webb! He's hilarious and a great reader, and he was cheating for us, which is always appreciated :D

Then after Knowledge Bowl, I *reaaally* needed to stop by Safeway to get something German for German on Friday (I wouldn't have time on Tuesday, Wednesday, OR Thursday afterschool -_-;; ) but Laura couldn't give me a ride.. BUT Nathan could! :D We couldn't find any German cookies (plenty of French, which didn't help at all) so I went with Kaiser bread. ..Which BETTER as heck be German or else Safeway's going down :P the bread's going to be so incredibly nasty by Friday though.. oh well, I just won't eat it then, muahahahaha...

ooh Laura's gonna be soccer mom on Thursday.. can't wait :)

I'm so proud of myself! I'm actually following through with the fitness plan I made in Health!

(Uh, a little back story: In Health class, we all had to make personal fitness goals and a plan/schedule to reach these goals. We had to start the plan on December 15th and it's due January 16th. It's an entire project that's worth a good chunk of your grade, but it could be easily BSed.)

I was honestly planning on BSing most of it.. but then, today, I just decided, Ah hey, why not? And so I got off of my lazy butt and I started doing what I planned.. and I feel great! hehe. Nice and healthy..

Now, step by step, I'm going to learn to stop procrastinating my school work.. yes, gradually, but surely.. err that's the plan at least :)

Hehehe Honors English is so fun when you're sitting next to Zach XD His elbow hurts though >.o He's a powerful man he is. But yeah, he distracted me so much that in a total of 90 minutes, I got exactly 3 1/2 cards written out for the SRP (most people got 10-20). It was great though! Zach's such a gnarly dude~

Knowledge Bowl was alright, but it wasn't as good as it usually is because Tommy wasn't there! *cries* We *need* our captain.. he's like our ultimate morale booster! ..and Ronnie shuts up more with Tommy in charge, hehe. Individually, sophomores did... *ahem* we did our best. Let's just say that. :P I felt sorry for Nathan; he didn't seem to want to be on the sophomore team too badly, and he looked like he wanted to kill Ronnie too (..the trench thing was hilarious XD). Eh, I felt pleased enough; I answered some questions! I was mad that I missed one that I knew.. (answer was subordinate conjunction, which is what I was going to say but then changed it. ._. blah) but no use stressing over it. As a team, we won by 7 points. YES! Which meant our tiny contribution to the score helped us win, so no shame, no shame :)

Jeremy gave me a ride home and an hour later, I was at school again for our Jazz Band concert. Honestly, I think we did surprisingly well. When we were warming up, this junior percussion dude played piano with me XD He was really cool! Dunno his name though. He laughed at me for completely messing up the scale ^_^; I thought he said E-flat! But anyway. It was fun. I think I heard some people in the front row talking about me o_o; couldn't tell if they were making fun of me or what. ...Let's hope they were saying happy things. *grins*

On a somewhat related note, I can't wait for the Jazz Band Female Bonding Time~~~!! It'll be December 30th, I think.. I'm soo excited.. we're planning it to be an evening of eating desserts, watching movies and pizza.. plus some jazz mayhap? Oooh I'll have to talk with Jessi for more planning and stuff. We're setting tradition!! *parties*

And now, for the "Who the hell cares" of the day:

...why was this on the home page of Yahoo?

Anyway, with that, WHOOHOO!! WINTER BREAK HAS BEGUN! XD

I don't like taking quizzes all that much any more, mainly because the majority of the quizzes on the 'net are too long, too angst-ridden, and have incredibly crappy results images/banners -_-; But these ones are pretty good! ..or at least they have pretty banners. Give 'em a shot if you've got a second!

I knew it. I got sick. On the FIRST official day of winter break. *dies* So unfair! I feel so icky.. bleh.

So to pass my time, I've spent the majority of my evening on the computer catching up on manga! *grins* It's been great! I've been so behind.. I've missed so much.. Here's what I've read today:

BxB Brothers - A nice, relaxing shoujo.. well, relaxing in comparison to the brutality of shoujos such as HYD XP The beginning kind of sucked, but it really picked up and now it's rather addicting! Nothing exceptionally spectacular, yet it's got a sort of unique flavor to it that I just can't describe. All and all, sehr toll.

Never Give Up - Another very light shoujo. Eh, I don't really like where it's going. It's getting a bit too lovey for me XD Not a bad read though. Interesting art style, too!

Scoundrel Scandalous Honey - ... *cracks up* Typical shoujo to a T! XD Very predictable, yet fun to read anyway :) It's short too, which is a nice plus. And the name is hilarious! "Scoundrel Scandalous Honey"? XDXD Genius.

Yakitate!! Japan - Now this is absolutely excellent. I ADORE this manga! And hey look, it's shounen! :P It's about making bread. XD yeah yeah, I know, that sounds.. odd.. but it's so hilarious and sooo cute and so wonderful.. If you just read ONE manga this Christmas, make it Yakitate :) (or make it Bleach even though it's been licensed *winkwink*) There are http downloads, so you have no excuse!! Read it now!

I still have lots to read, too.. Midori no Hibi, Full Metal Alchemist, Monster, Bleach and Naruto (not that I'm reading Bleach nor Naruto since they've been licensed and all.. no no no of course not..)

Hehe, merry Christmas everyone!! Ahh I'll finish this post later~ right now I want to enjoy xmas a little bit :) I feel very loved and happy right now, and I hope everyone else is enjoying their holidays!

(and to those who read scanlations: SnoopyCool loves us lots. LOTS O__O)

(and a little something that I found while searching xgoogle that will serve as a gift to those Bleach fans who are pissed about its sudden licensing by Vic... I linked the home page; search the sites listing to see what I mean! XD)

My Christmas was nice and relaxing. Wonderful food! I love apple pie :F As for presents, I got a German dictionary and a book of piano music. YEAAH!! hehe. I was so proud; I could actually recognize a good deal of the Chopin and Liszt songs in the collection~ like Liebestraume! (damn how do you make an umlaut? XD;; ) I'm so utterly going to learn that song XD Maybe for solo/ensamble? It's a bit easy for a s/e piece, but hell, am I doing s/e to impress people or to better myself in music? So hey. Then again, Chopin looks tempting.. I could play with Fantasie Impromptu again (after this, like, 7 month break -_-;;; ) and probably get it by the end of January. But Rebecca did this song last year ._. baaah I'll figure it out later.

After Christmas was fun. I went to the BX, Morning Glory, and the mall to shop for late xmas gifts! hahaaa after Christmas sales are sweeeet... I spent about $60-70 dollars for 8-9 people. Not bad, not bad. Would have been a LOT more if I had gotten the gifts prior to Christmas. Kind of funny how the difference of one day can reduce prices by 60%! :P

This entire week I've been siiick as anything with a really killer cold, but I think I'm finally getting over it! Knock on wood, of course. The secret to getting healthy fast: Take no medicines for your symptoms, eat lots of food (yummy food like pie XD), sleep 10-12 hours each night, and do absolutely no exercise or movement at all. It works! I felt so much better each day.. but now that I'm pretty much healthy again, it's back to work!

I have so much homework to do starting tomorrow.. tomorrow I plan to complete my Honors English research and my Honors Biology project, and visit Jinny in between XD Tuesday I want to solve the first half of the Honors Math project (I also have the Jazz Band ladies bonding time day~:D Gotta make that cake!), and Wednesday I want to solve the second half. Thursday I plan to research for my Biology extra credit (I'll need to go out and get a poster board, crappit.. I saw some at Fred Meyers) and my PNW debate, maybe even write up an outline of my speeches or the actual speeches themselves. I'll do some math team research on that day, too :) Friday I plan to review all of my data collected for Honors English, and I'll type my thesis and start thinking about what my paper will look like. I'll also try and read all of Stephen King's Dreamcatcher. On Saturday, my family and I are going on the Dinner Train for lunch! Hopefully I can finish up my Biology extra credit project and anything else that I wasn't able to finish. Then Sunday shall be my day of rest.

Aw crap, I also have to write out chords for But Not for Me for Jazz Band. ... I'll do that tomorrow? Yeah, I'll do that tomorrow. And I'll work in practicing jazz piano for about 1/2 an hour to an hour a day and DDRing enough to burn 330 calories each night (haha, go workout mode! XD). Which reminds me, I need to record my Health project progress on the comp.. that will be done Saturday. Ahh and I should brush up my grammar for Knowledge Bowl! ..that can be done on Saturday too then. Gaah I'm going to be swamped! But I've had a slackfilled week and I'm ready to start working again.

It's late, so I'm going to go to sleep now!
PACKERS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS! GOD BLESS ARIZONA!! XDDD

Successfully finished Honors English notecards and Honors Biology project. Whoohoo! Tomorrow: I must concentrate on the first half of the Honors Math project.. god, the last time I looked at it.. it was hard. REALLY hard. But I wasn't thinking too much the last time I looked at the project, so hopefully I was just being stupid that day. Still, I'm scared. o_o; Tomorrow is the jazzy female get-together too! :D I'm going to make pound cake. If someone else is making that.. well that's just too bad :P Ahhh I'll have to try to restrain myself from eating too much tomorrow >_o I've gotta lose the weight that I must have gained last week from lazing around sick!

So now it's time to exercise! :)

(ooh crap I didn't write out chords for Jazz Band.. oh well oh well.. tomorrow? if anything, I'll do it Saturday XD)

Went to Jessi's house and had a BLAST bonding with the jazz band girls! :D Ahhh I ate soo much food!! Holly's ginger snaps were soo good, and then Jessi's Swedish cookieish stuff *drools* I made pound cake muffins :lick: They were yummy too! Then Bekka brought cream puffs and eclairs.. and to top it off, there was pizza! Ooh and I ate a tangerine and a Hershey's kiss XD I figured literally I ate about, oh, 1000 calories over my necessary daily caloric intake, so I DDRed on workout mode until I burned 850 calories. It took two hours, but it was worth it! I'm not going to make myself feel guilty about one day of pigging out..

But yeah, we did more than just eat~ we watched a movie and talked lots and lots about school and band and music and stuff.. and we decided to make a band! XD I'm so excited! It could work, too, since we're all pretty good musicians.. We're actually going to get together and plan not this Friday, but next week Friday after school. Hehe.

I did some Honors Math stuff yesterday, and it's a lot easier than I first thought. Still a lot of work though >_o I didn't finish the first problem like I had wanted, but I know how to do it and I will be able to finish the entire honors math project by.. Fridayish. Yay!

Oh, und es schneit! :D Though I'm not too ecstatic about it, since I'm not feeling too well and snow doesn't help my physical condition :/ meh. I still have a lot of work to do *dies* but I think I'll take a semi-break today, since I'm feeling kind of icky.
