------------------
Hehe. Lots of greatness :D

But man, I feel so uninspired with school right now. I don't feel like doing anything! And I'm so worried about math that I'm completely tweaking out ~8O Test and a project next week.... Lots of math to do tomorrow. BLAH!

On a different note, I'm making Kat a new tabu layout, and it is progressing quite nicely ^^ I'll post a teaser soon!

Dude, I've completely been saying "ho" all too much lately XD "Ho" as an interjection, that is. As in, "Ho! Good day, Young Tara!" (though truly, I haven't talked to Tara in quite a bit)

Oh man, I can tell already that this entry is going to be one of those pointless rambling ditties that don't make a smidgen of sense.

Well, in a nutshell, my life is going pretty coo. As always, I love KB. Last week involved the penis game, variations of the penis game (w/ "tinkle" or "aubrey" and etc.), robot talking, and butt photos. Oh my god. It was so good. And we also teased Kat about her morning situation, which was pretty insensitive ^_^;; but we LOVE HER and it was all in love and kat was really good about it :)

OH! Check out kat's tabulas that I designed (but have yet to finish :/). Featuring Bi. I love that man.

Today I had my Chapter 7 test for math... I think I got 100% on it. I studied around 3 hours of math everyday (weekdays at least) for the last three weeks (more than that this last week because of all of the homework due and the group project) so I was pretty comfortable with the material. I don't want to jinx anything though :x so let's just wait and see.

You know, I really have to exercise more T_T; I feel kinda gross. Which also reminds me: I didn't make a New Week's Resolution last week! So tomorrow I'll make another.

English is pure torture; 8:00 am is the most dreaded hour of the day. The thing is, I really love poetry and literature. And through his readings and "interpretations," my teacher taints the writing. Hold on, no, he rapes it. Massacres it. The very sound of his voice clogs my veins. I do believe that he is the worst teacher I have ever had. And I've taken Anthropology 104. At least I'm almost positively earning a 4.0 in his class. (but again, knock on wood)

Aw crap, now I'm all angry >_<

Anyhow, good luck to all who are solo/ensambling! I shall be instead sleeping, lazing, and homeworking. And possibly making new layouts for myself :D

(now for some poetry, untainted)

Predictions for 2005: Year of the Wood Rooster
From Tarot.com: For the Cat / Rabbit

Gentle soul that you are, the Rooster's rough clamp-down policies rub your luxurious fur the wrong way. My advice? Keep your profile low and your moral standards high. Don't go investing in big ticket items. Disposable cash will be short. Stay out of the limelight. Take a sabbatical in the boondocks or go on an expedition to Antarctica. Or... why not fall in love? Passion will keep you out of circulation for a good long time. Prefer a Pig or Goat partner. You won't be sorry you did.

-----

Apparently it's my choice as to whether or not I fall in love this year. And, if I so choose to fall in love, it should be with a pig or a goat. ...WELL! That sounds.. disgusting.

I'd rather get on my boat and sail toward.. antartica.

Today was relatively lazy. I finished the take-home portion of my math exam (5 or 6 pages -_-; ) and studied some Korean, but otherwise I just sat, ate, and started a new layout for my tabulas. It's not that great, but at least it's something. I plan to implement it sometime this week *nod*

Tomorrow I have some work ahead of me: about one to three hour(s) worth of Evil English homework, some finishing touches on my math project, double- and triple-checking my take-home test, chapter 16 for US History, lots of things to learn in Korean, etc.

JESUS CHRIST, MULAN IS GOING TO BE IN KINGDOM HEARTS II??? (jesus: why yes, indeed) @%@$#!!! HOW DID MISS THAT FOR FIVE MONTHS?? Oh my God, I love Mulan. I absolutely completely and utterly love Mulan. Though Beauty and the Beast is the ultimate in ultimateness. (aww)

Valentine's Day on Monday. Meaning on Tuesday, there should be a lot of chocolate, candy, and those crappy 4th grade pink and hearts-y cards for sale for cheap. HO! Sounds like a plan.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! By the way, I officially love Valentine's Day. Completely and utterly adore it. Why?

(well, if you must ask...)

I never knew that losing a backpack was so hilarious XD

Wow. Today was such an awesome day, mainly because of KB. Actually, the true "KB" parts of it (like answering questions and the such) kinda sucked because for all three rounds, we had THE CRAPPY BITCHY LESBIAN READER from the invitational -_-;;;; and all of our brains were dead. BUT, the NON-intellectual, social parts of KB were quite the most excellent! Hilarious pictures like always, and then plenty of screaming and running and... stealing XD HO jeez, I seriously can't remember the last time when kat, jinny, and/or scott DIDN'T steal my car keys (or my money, or my wallet, or my purse..) during a tournament or practice. Even Laura too sometimes! And Laura's quiet and Mormon.

I love playing the Aubrey game.

Riding around in the car talking to Jinny was superb as well, as was (about 20 minutes later) randomly picking up Kat and driving around the apartments. (Kat tells more about this wonderful day at her lj)

And Jinny and Scott are going to visit me at Pierce next week!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!! :DD!! I miss having those silly curtis hoodlums in my classes. It'll be fantastical. We could all carpool there... and they'll get to see my awesome history class w/ kat, my evil evil evil EVIL english class w/ satan, and then my math class with the wonderful ms. rasmussen :D and THEN! afterward, we could.. GO DO PILATES AT MCCORD TOGETHER! XD ..or not, but you know.

And then tomorrow.. PARTY AT JINNY'S!!!!!!!!! and according to kataracts, everything should work out splendidly :OOO!! I'm dying to eat some teriyaki.

Ugh, I still have math hmwk to complete. Ugh. But at least, as of tomorrow, I will have a 4.0 once again in precalc II :D YES!

I think I'm going to do track. Yes. I think so. Maybe. Jinny, join track w/ me! Kat too! AND also, scott.
(even though he doesn't read this)
(at least I don't think he does)
(but then I didn't think that abrian read this either, and yet she does)
(and I REALLY didn't think that lance read my lj, but then LO!)
(time to stop now)

Dang, it's been about a week since I got my laptop, and I already had to use the system restore CD XD that's some hardcore nerding right there. I think I'll stop messing with the system files for now.

Anyhow, I procrastinated BIG TIME this 3-day weekend on a lot of crap. Hmm, fancy that! XD Oh well, procrastination happens. Nothing I can do about it now ('tis the nature of procrastination), other than work harder to get everything done!

Here's my To-Do list for my own sanity:
1) READ OEDIPUS THE KING (by, uh... tomorrow (or wednesday if I'm lucky, which I've determined right now that I am))
2) English essay on Cummings' poetry
3) MATH CHAPTER 8 TEST ON FRIDAY
---- a) Read 8.2
---- b) Hmwk 8.2
---- c) Read 8.3
---- d) Hmwk 8.3
---- e) Review Chapter 8!
4) Interview Fastpitch Coach for Pioneer
---- a) Set Up/Prepare for Interview
---- b) Interview
---- c) Write-up in article
5) Math team project due Tuesday
---- a) Write up paper
6) Read Chapter 16 for US History

Okay! I can do it all. :D Positive attitude! At least I don't have Knowledge Bowl or Track this week. If I did, I think I would die. But I don't, so RAAAA I'm ready to work! :B But now it's time to sleep. Maybe I can read some Oedipus before I doze off..


PS: I HATE ALEX. @#%*!

Test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow test tomorrow ahhhh.

Okay, time for yoga breaths. *yoga breathes*

[/freak out]

I've been so lazy in these last few days, and especially this week, so I am not ready for this math test at all XO Though I don't think I regret my indolence, as I've made some lovely memories with friends! I mean, dude, yesterday involved Pierce visitations, crazy/retarded cell phone calls, teddy gram/rice ball/plastic bag wars, MOUNTING (XD), hilarious photography, adventuring big-toy adventuring, and (of course) key stealage. Can't get much better than that!

Blah, I'm not in the mood to write; I'm tired and frightened. Shoodizzle, I abhor the end of the quarter. Too much crap to do x__x; At least the end of the quarter will be mightily nice. Actually, the end of this weekend will be pretty awesome for me. Daah.

Oh, freaking SHIT, I forgot to make up an excuse as to why MT shouldn't meet at my house. Dammit! At 1:00 tomorrow afternoon, my house may be tainted with the reeking presense of BOTH ____ and ____ (and co.) if I don't act quickly in the morning.. CRAP. XF

My brain's instructing me to shut it off. I believe I will take its advice. I'll post again after my test, essay, and article are completed. Huzzah!

Hey! I just finished coding and uploading my ninth layout for my tabulas. Go check it out here! It features an original drawing by me, of me (and my computer). Very exciting. 8D

I've actually had this layout on my computer for about a week or so, but I didn't have time to format/code/upload it until today.

Speaking about today, HUZZAH! My math test is over with. Well, not entirely; now I have to wait for my score :B I'm feeling fairly confident about this test, however. I finished with 20 minutes to spare, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. There wasn't anything too difficult on it... I think. Knock on wood!

I was so busy today. I had school (including the math test), then I had to call all the MT people to tell them that my house was off-limits, then I went home for lunch, then I went back to Pierce to fill out paperwork, then I went straight to Alex's house to work on the MT project, then I tutored for an hour, then I realized I forgot my calculator at Alex's house, then I went back to his house and argued for a while with Alex (omg, he is so retarded. and irritating. and gross. and I'm not even taking stats right now, but even I know that it would be absolutely POINTLESS to multiply the correlation coeffient by the data, which is what he wants to do -_-;; I mean, wtf is he talking about??? that makes no sense whatsoever. UGH. me and scott were so pissed XD), then I gave Scott a ride home (poor scott had to be alone w/ alex while I was tutoring and he almost died; the first words out of his mouth when we left: "holy f#ck." XD), and then I came home myself. Dude, I have like 1/15 of a tank of gas left ^^;

In contrast to my morning/afternoon, I am having such a nice and relaxing evening. Nerding, coding, doing nothing... ahhh :) and tonight, I get to SLEEP! IN! HUZZAAAAH!!! :DD!

I made a new LiveJournal layout, created and uploaded yesterday, tweaked and finished today :D I think it's okay. Not outstanding, but I like it better than my last one! I may just tweak it some more though. Something about the text formatting really really bugs me. Also, it looks a little funky in Firefox (and I have a horizontal scrollbar in firefox too) so I should probably fix that! Meh, I'll do it later.

As for my essay, I finally finished the one for English! It's so bad that it's hilarious XD I'm seriously analyzing e.e. cummings' use of commas and dashes. Why? Because my teacher expects me to. OH well! I'm going to go over it again later tonight, but I'm so done for now.

I still have to write up my article for the newspaper :3 I don't want to. But I want money, so I shall. But again, later.

As for now, I'm savoring my last free days before track season. Alas!

Oh, and I must say: yesterday was wonderful. Me, kot, and breezer went to the mall to get breezer's first ever purse. QUITE a momentous occasion! :D I got to know breezer better and I got to play with kot, and as well, I got to eat free samples of chicken and pretzels and repair my hands via lotion. It was a lot of fun. A LOT of fun.

But man, there was so much weirdness that day! (by the way, if you read kot's journal, I'm pretty much saying the same stuff she said XD) After I picked up kat and we were driving to pick up breezer, we stopped at the left turn lane at a red light. Two cars ahead of us, the dude freaking GETS OUT OF HIS CAR and starts talking to the guy in front of us! I thought he was heading toward us at first; I was like, "what the.. hell? omg *locks car doors*" So then he got back in his car and missed the green light. And then he freaking got out of the car again and commenced talking! I hope those guys were friends. If not, it was just some lunatic. Actually, either way, it was a lunatic.

Then we got to the mall and went to JC Penny's, where breezer got her purse and kat played with ridiculously huge rainbow umbrellas. And there were also some chocolate bars which we may or may not have stolen, depending on whether or not they were free XD Nonetheless, the chocolate tasted odd to me so I gave it (half-eaten) to kot. :D

So afterward, we roamed around, and breezer got a weezer dvd and kot got a guitar chord poster, and then we went to Merven's where kot and breezer got these awesome "I <3 carbs" t-shirts! :D Those bastards at merven's didn't make any victoria-sized shirts, however, so I didn't buy one. I suppose I could have gotten the medium, but the shoulders and back were all weird and baggy so I didn't :/ I'm excessively picky when it comes to clothes, or anything really, so I hate getting anything that I don't really, really like.

Okay, so we left the mall. Driving home, there was this weird "whooshing" sound. I was so freaked out; I thought my car was exploding! but then I also noticed that the car was starting to smell overpoweringly like mountain air.. after about 30 seconds of dead, frozen, fearful silence, we realized that it was breezer stepping on an air freshener XD And it was starting to really reek, so we opened the windows until it smelled like my usual crappy car smell.

and THEN! At the next light, there was a group of hoodlums (about our age, maybe a little older) in the car next to us, and some chick rolled down the window, stuck half of her body out of the car, and was starting to lift up her shirt when we realized, OMG SHE'S GOING TO FLASH US and hence looked away. Well, the light changed and so she didn't get to bare her breasts, but afterward we were all psychologically scarred. I mean, why.. would a creepy chick... want to flash... three other girls? Perhaps she was lesbian, but even still...

Worst of all, I think I know that girl. She -just might- be this girl in my Salsa class. Ahh. If I have any courage at all, I'm going to confront her about it. "SOoo.... did you try to flash me and my friends last Saturday?" like THAT won't be awkward! XD
