HEY you knowledge bowl people; I know at least some of you read this blog... you may have gotten my email about potential sweatshirt companies. Well, I am definitely leaning toward Neighborhoodies now, especially since I found out that we can order in bulk, and maybe we could somehow convince those wonderful fools to give us some sort of school and/or buying-in-bulk discount on TOP of the 10% off for finding it through Myspace... that's doubtful, but you know, worth a shot!

Okay, so I was thinking of something like either the Sugarhill style or the Skii style.. yeah I know they're almost identical :D

Sugarhill:


( more pictures? follow the fake cut!)

or Skii:


(more skii goodness? another fake cut!)

Maybe in black or blue? And of course, the text would be something like "knowledge bowl 2006" ... See, I want to have something sort of non-creative for the title since I'm thinking of wearing this baby at college or while shopping, and I want it to explicitly say KNOWLEDGE BOWL. XD

Only problems I see:
- price
- sizes

The price I can live with, but I -know- that we have some people who will be WAY too tiny to fit into an adult small sweatshirt :/ So then, MAYBE only the seniors should get the coo apparel..

But seriously, just imagine... five to seven nerds all decked out in sporty "KNOWLEDGE BOWL" sweatshirts XD it'd be hilarious. OMG.

Oh, and some of the t-shirts are really cute too (like the girls communitee and the malibu and the slugger) but I think hoodies + t-shirts would be a bit pricey... even though it'd be awesome. Well, maybe if we can hook a deal :D

I have been so, so boring for the last few days in terms of blogability. It's pretty much same-old same-old routine... sleep, wake up, find food, work on SECRET PROJECT (muahaha), study, xc, occasionally shower, find more food.. it's been nice though! :D

Try this: hold out both arms in an "airplane" fashion, making a straight line with your shoulders (so your body's like a T, with a head that is). Keep holding it for 5 minutes. If you feel adventurous, make little circles. Then bring them to the front for five more. Your arms will DIE. (after our run, me and adrienne just did the T thing for four minutes; we were like, "OMG bad decision, BAD DECISION.")

Can you believe it's July 14th, almost 15th? Only about two more months of break?? x__x; It's CRAZY!

My mom bought white cherries and blue blueberries. I LOVE HER!

Anyway, I gotta sleep.. our freezer's almost broken, and the repairman is coming tomorrow anywhere from 7 am to 6 pm :/ so, as everyone else is at work, I can't do anything until he comes. Poo.

Hey my friends, happy 4th of July! I hope everyone's enjoying their extra day of rest (if that even applies to you :D). Oh, and hopefully you'll get this message a day late too because hopefully you have more going on during your holiday than I... alas.

(now for presents)

I'm such a lazyhead! Ohhho.

Anyway, lots happened within the last ten days! Jimbly's b-day, of course, was one of them :D the party was SO MUCH FUN, and that cake... shoot dang!

(if you haven't seen the video, go here now!)

Lessee, what else?

(nine day wrap up)

Which brings us to today! Went to the Taste of Tacoma with Kat! I ate: a scone, a Quiznos 6" ranch swiss turkey sandwich on wheat (minus the ranch), a soft-serve chocolate ice CREAM, a delicious corn, aaand... is that it? I feel like I'm forgetting something. ._. OH~ and a bite of alligator. it was NASTACULAR. (plus nibbles of kat's elephant ear, cotton canday, and fries)

Now I'm feeling a little gross, but it's coo! I had a great time, and I think I got a little sunburned on my face. Hopefully that will turn into a tan, especially since at the moment my arms and legs are fairly bronzen, but my face is still oddly pale. Man, I always do that.

I drew SUCH a good picture of my brother XD I should post that on here soon.

PS: This site is so cool; everyone needs to visit now.

[EDIT: just realized that I failed to mention 6/16 and 6/17. added that promptly!
EDIT 2: man, forgot some REALLY IMPORTANT DETAILS! filled them in]

So today I skipped cross country practice. Why? Weell, after spending 4 hours in a doctor's office all just to set up an appointment for "sometime in the near future" (:/) I decided that I absolutely needed some Korean Drama lovin'. Therefore I went to kat's house and together we watched 풀하우스 EPISODES 6, 7, 8 SAJGLKWUIRTWIOETU!!!!!!!!!

WARNING: ENTIRE ENTRY CONSISTS OF KOREAN DRAMA BABBLINGS. FEEL FREE TO IGNORE ENTIRELY.

I cannot articulate how incredibly BRILLIANTLY WONDERFUL AND ULTRA OUTRAGEOUSLY DIVINE this drama is!!! The love rectangle is so, soooo good.

Baaah I should probably give a brief summary of the story:
(a really, really horribly written plot summary)

Okay, that's a really crappy summary and it leaves out SO MUCH GOODNESS, but it's good enough for the rest of my rant ^^;;

SO! Before Bi and Ji-eun met, Bi was the childhood friend of this fashion designer girl Hae-won, aka, Bitch. Bi likes Bitch, but Bitch likes Bi's other business movie/something editor guy, Min Hyuk (completely handsome; I <3. but Bi is the best :D). Now Min Hyuk knows that Bitch likes him, but he clearly rejects her as a sisterlike person to him (GO MIN-HYUK!). And so Bitch's all depressed and to spite him, she's trying to get together with Bi, even though she still loves Min Hyuk..

And Min Hyuk is seeing all of this go on, and he sees that Bi is treating Bitch better than his own wife Ji-eun (and Min Hyuk doesn't know about the contract (yet??)) and so MIN HYUK likes Ji-eun, and all the while the main couple BI AND JI-EUN are totally falling in love (but of COURSE both parties are denying it).

AND SO! In the latest episodes:
- FREAKING BITCH pulled Ji-eun aside and was like, "ooh blahblahblah I'm going to steal bi from you let's have a wager who can win him first" EVEN THOUGH SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE CONTRACT AND THUS SHE THINKS SHE'S TRYING TO STEAL A MARRIED MAN'S WIFE AWAY FROM HIM AND EVEN IF THAT WASN'T THE CASE OMFGSJFOWIUGOWEUT!!!! I HATE HER.

- BI is still LIKING BITCH!!! @#%*!)%!!!!! I mean it makes sense and I definitely don't blame him for it (I LOVE BI), but SHOOT DANG IT PISSES ME THE HELL OFF!!!!

- Though luckily, he's liking Bitch less and less and liking Ji-eun more and more... :D:D

- Ji-eun gets so SAD when she sees Bi with Bitch!! ;oooo;!!! because they TOTALLY love each other.

- Min Hyuk is always being nice to Ji-eun and treating her to things... AND HE FREAKING TELLS HER THAT HE LIKES HER AND IN THE LAST EPISODE WE WATCHED HE'S LIKE, "NO SERIOUSLY I LIKE YOU WILL YOU LET ME LIKE YOU" AND I'M LIKE OMGSJDFKLUWOIEUTO87P111!!!! and he's really cute with glasses XD

- Bi gets SO JEALOUS because of Min Hyuk :D

- Bi/Ji-eun interactions are SO CUTE that they make me absolutely DIE.
------------

OMGGGGG!!! I think tomorrow I'll be visiting Kat again XD I'm so glad kat is with me while watching, though I abuse her a lot (I hit things whenver I get into something I'm watching XD) SORRY KOT! It's great though; in this set of episodes, we were literally SCREAMING at points. LIKE THE END OF EPISODE 7 when Ji-eun was like "SO BI, GUESS WHAT? ___________"!!! AHHH such a good drama~~ and we're half-way done!

PS: perhaps some visual aids would help?
Cast of characters
It goes Ji-eun, Bi, Bitch, Min Hyuk :D

Yesterday was the Sound to Narrows! I had a lot of fun, even though I was a complete loner XD I couldn't find anyone from XC there (well, I found a few people, such as the McClellans :D but no one I knew well) and so I just hung around by meself like some sort of running loser. It was coo though, it was coo.

The race itself was awesome! I just went incredibly, incredibly slowly throughout the entire 12k, so I wasn't too tired even at that last hill! But I'm not kidding about the slow thing--it was snail-paced slow even for me. As in, literally, I'm pretty sure I went about an 11-minute-mile pace XD SLOTHFUL. Nonetheless, there were people in front of me, people behind me, and people around me the entire time. Runners got free bread and sodas and fruit, there was free bus transportation from TCC to the park and back, it was great weather, great exercise, and I loved it! Will definitely do it again next year. Will probably go the same pace.

Then I went home, showered, slept, and then went to caro's teriyaki with kat and jimbly! Had lots of fun, though I had no teriyaki (I already ate previously). I love friends :)

I'm just just now beginning to comprehend that I am on summer vacation. I'm still having my loser dreams about school though XD Like I dreamt last night about some class that I took back at junior high (maybe English w/ Skiff?), and I think in the dream I forgot to do a worksheet or something. Bah, I'm bad at remembering dreams. Anyway, I did nothing today, so occasionally I would think "OH CRAP-- what am I procrastinating homework-wise?" And then I'm like, "HOLD ON, nothing. OHO." It's a beautiful feeling.

Now for something completely different: Tabulas.com looks absolutely gorgeous. I love the largeness of the fonts and input-boxes! A nice change from the typical cliche tidy-tininess look of so many sites nowadays... *looks at own livejournal* Hmmm.. ^^;

OH MY GOSH, Kelly...

I know that you said that you're not going to send test grades via email, and thus we students are not going to know our grade in the class until Tuesday, but I honestly believe that if I have to wait that long, I will literally either a) go insane or b) die.

If there's ANY WAY AT ALL, could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know my score on the final exam before then?

If not.. I understand. I'll just go cry in my room until Tuesday morning comes around. (hehe I'm just kidding)

Thanks a lot, and have a good summer!

From, Victoria

Your final exam grade was a 84%.

You made a 4.0 in the class!! Congratulations!! Now you can relax. :-)

Kelly

-------------------


Oh my LORD, THANK YOU JESUS. That calc exam was the HARDEST TEST I'VE EVER TAKEN IN MY LIFE. Twenty-five multiple choice questions, NO partial credit, but you must show all work. While grading, first she checks whether or not you marked the correct letter. If the letter is wrong, then she won't even look at the problem. If it's right, then she checks to make sure you put ALL STEPS correctly-- if one thing is wrong or missing, the entire problem's wrong! And this test: 20% of your grade. Doesn't seem like much until you fully realize the meaning of no partial credit. And when the answer choices are meant to trick you, and when the questions are freaking hard and things we've never seen before (the concepts we've learned, sure, but not in that sort of application @__@;; )

So after I went home, I was -positive- that I did terribly. I went to my room and just CRIED! And then I called Kat and we watched 풀하우스 (which I WHOLLY adore) and I depression ate like a freaking cow XD though I was quite jocund by the end~ But when I went home and told my mom about it, I started crying again and then my mom got all mad and there was this huge drama thing and yelling and arguing-- and then I checked my email and I was like, "OH. OH MY GOD. YES."


I already know my grade in English, and with Math taken care of, now I just have to worry about history... but history should be good. I think. *knocks on wood*

WHOO SUMMER VACATIOOOONNN!!!

Ugh, I have a lot lot LOT of studying ahead of me for math, so I'll keep this short and choppy.

I made a MySpace. *kills self* XD

But I'm excited! Because I'm definitely finding ways to un-gay my... MS! I have a test journal that I'm messing around with, and I'm figuring that things are a LOT like LJ overrides. Muahahaa... my first layout theme: WWII propoganda posters. :D No kidding, these are so awesome.

Some of my faves:
+ Poster One: Never ride alone.
+ Poster two: DAMN right XD
+ Poster three: I love right-wingedness :D
+ Poster four:OMG this one is good.. watch out boys!
+ Poster five: I want to be him when I grow up.
+ Poster six: go navy!
+ Poster seven: Man, she's so cool.
+ Poster eight: BACK TO WORK, SLAVE
+ Poster nine: I just love the design
+ Poster ten: That's what I'M talkin' about.

I LOVE vintage posters!! Especially Pro-American Pro-Military Anti-Axis stuff ;D

Today was the first day of XC. FUN! We ran about 5 miles. Well, the slow and/or lazy people did. I'm tired, but I'm okay! Tammy ran w/ me :D It's always wonderful to have a running buddy!

Well, onward to Calculus :(

[edit: instead of calculus, I ended up making a layout in photoshop. XD MAN, I'm so screwed. but holy crap, it was worth it. it is the HOLY-CRAPMOST-AWESOMEST layout I've ever made, EVER. will try to incorporate it into my myspace within the next few days. now for calc hmwk f'reals]
