Dare to Dream

About an hour ago, literally an hour ago, I realized that my head has been in the clouds for a very long time. I mean, I've been procrastinating on homework, not studying for tests, basically slacking. I don't know what happened. So I have officially decided to change that. I mean, who is this person that I've decided to come? That was a rhetorical question by the way.

Anyway. I have dreams. Who doesn't? I mean, dreams are based on things that we think our awesome. Really, that's what dreams are. The thing about dreams is, that you only presume that what your dreaming is awesome. You never know. That's why dreaming is such a daring thing to do. By dreaming, you're basically letting yourself get lost into the unknown. And the scariest thing about dreaming is, what if you don't make it? I have to say that my biggest dream right now is just getting out of this place and getting into Brown University. I know, I know, that's a bit out there. Trust me, I get reminded of that fact a lot (from people including myself). Recently, I've been losing grasp of that though. I've been getting bad grades on tests and not doing my homework. That's not me.

And that concludes the corny part of my blog. Just thought I'd get all of the crap that I've been holding in out. Well, I have to go take a bath (it's really late) and still attempt to do my Algebra II homework.

I'm coming up with a new closing saying,

Dream on. (BIATCHES!!!)

Reminiscing

I spend nearly 85% of my life reminiscing, and not exactly the good reminiscing. I tend to think of the past too much, instead of look forward into the future. I don't know why. I guess that's normal for everyone. Who doesn't think about the time in 3rd grade when the most stressful thing ever was whether you got the right drink at lunch (either chocolate milk, plain milk, or pog). Right now, I have to be honest and say, everything is basically the same. We just exaggerate everything because we now know the importance of stuff. Like when you think about it, we haven't really changed. Sure, we grew (well at least most of us did), we matured- okay we didn't do that. But we understand everything a bit more, so we're looking at it in a different way. We still have that naive little 3rd grader within, it just knows a lot more. I'm just saying.

Ugh. My physics project. It's not that it's hard, it's just that it's so disorganized. I have to admit, it is mostly me and my groups fault. I don't know. I'm just stressed. I miss summer. I miss Disneyland.

TA TA FOR NOW!!! (BIATCHES)

Stress

The stresses that we feel in our lives always go away when you think about it. But, there's always something else to stress about. I do believe that is our life's purpose: to stress. I'm just saying. Well, I'm going to go read despite the fact that it's 10:45 PM on a Sunday night.

TA TA FOR NOW! (BIATCHES)

Epic Failure

So today was my 2nd speech tournament of the year, 6th of my life. It was horrible. Considering that I spent almost all of last night memorizing my script, I epic failed. I ended up going to sleep at one o'clock last night (being the epic night person that I am), thus I didn't get any sleep since the speech tournament started at 7:00 in the morning. I mind ended up drifting during my speech, and then I'd lose track and totally brain fart. But whatever, it's over with. But there was one good thing about the speech tournament.... GWENDILYN LIU MADE AN APPEARANCE!!! :D She's an official speechster!!! Yay for Gwendilyn. Anyways, the birds at St. Andrew's Priory were such jerks. They literally flew an inch away from your head. Ugh. Gwen got really irritated with them, which was sort of funny.

Not only was today the speech tournament, it was also the luau. The luau was boring, but pretty cool. It was awesome that we got the first shift for clean-up because all we did was walk around. We barely filled up a bag. But still, we worked (the "we" I am referring to is me and Jenna). The food was good... OH CRAP! I just remembered that I wanted my mom's long rice, but she probably ate it by now. Darn. So yeah, I won 4 fishies. Jenna said that she's going to write a novel about them: "The Four Fishes Who Died". Haha it would totally be a memoir... I promise to try my best to keep them alive. I promise.

The Phillies lost today. Which means both of my favorite teams are out of the World Series, which is now going to be for the Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants. I will be rooting for the Giants of course. I hate the Rangers. Hate 'em. There's always next season... right? Well, I'm going to start my Vampire Diaries marathon right now, so that's enough blogging for today!

I'm going to start an official closing to my entries... Let me thing of one...

TA TA FOR NOW!!! (BIATCHES)

HE'S MINE!!! (Bitch.)

It's still Friday, just to let you know I didn't skip a day :) Anyways, so tomorrow is the monthly speech tournament!!! WOOPDY DOO DAH DAE HO LEMONADE!!! (I don't know what that was, so don't ask.) I barely memorized my script... so tomorrow is basically Improvise-Your-Entire-Script-Day. Trust me, I improvised before... didn't go so well... 7 o'clock in the morning is the time that we have to be there. I mean, I'm a bit used to it since I've gone to... how many speech tournament? Let me think... My first one was at McKinley when I discovered that I would be going against high schoolers. The second was Iolani I think? I remember that there was a Sacred Hearts one the day that we left for the D.C. trip (D.C., AWWWWWW MEMORIES);I didn't go to that one. (See, I used a semi-colon... doesn't it look intelligent? Nah, it kinda looks like a frowning wink.) Anyway, my third was KCC, state qualifying... didn't qualify for states. Fourth was at Punahou, didn't get a medal EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD'VE GOTTEN ONE!!! (Me and Shane are still furious that we didn't get one when we kind of deserved it...) Whatever, it was attached to a blue and yellow ribbon. Yuck. Then I went to Lelehua. That makes 5. I guess that's not a lot... but hey, I'm getting used to speech tournaments. I kind of want to judge middle school tournaments. Mrs. Wong said that I could. That would be cool. Gwen is having her first speech tournament tomorrow... Yay Gwen!!! I hope she realizes that there's 3 rounds throughout the whole thing... I'm pretty sure she knows that.

Okay, I hate math. I mean, i understand it and it's getting easier. But press the 9 button instead of the 3 and it's an F. I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING DAMMIT!!!!! @$%#!!! FIRETRUCK.

THE YANKEES LOST TO THE DAMN RANGERS!!! NOW THEY'RE NOT GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! WHAT THE FISHCAKES? UGH. I HATE THE RANGERS. I HATE THEM. THEY ARE MY LEAST FAVORITE TEAM (EVEN MORE SO THAN THE DODGERS... A LITTLE LESS THAN THE RED SOX).

Well, I better get to memorizing my script so TTFN SUCKAZ!

OH BO!

HEEEEEEEY MAI BIATCHES!!!! Haha... just kidding. Anyway. So yesterday, when I was supposed to be finishing my homework, I discovered this guy named Bo Burnham. Yeah, he's a comedic singer and I will like to say that the guys in our grade would love him. His songs are are sexual and stuff. Some of it is actually pretty funny (pervertedly, of course). He's not a bad singer either. Yeah. His songs are really catchy, too...

LET'S GO PHILLIES!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!! LET'S GO YANKEES ALSO!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS, MARK TEXIERA GOT INJURED AND HE'S OUT FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE POST- SEASON!!!!!!!! And that concludes my excessive use of exclamation points and capitol letters to further exaggerate my point....

Anyway, I also got the Vampire Diaries on DVD and I'm kind of excited to watch it... So that's what I'm going to do instead of studying for my test! Aw yeah! C ya tomoro, biatches! (Who the heck actually talks like that online anyways?)

the worst of things happen to the nicest of people

So my grandma and grandpa are in Argentina right now for one of their family friend's wedding or birthday or something like that.  Anyways, my grandma is a super nice person, she goes to Church every Sunday, does her community service, and of course, takes care of me and my cousins without complaining.  Anyways, while in Argentina, someone stole her purse.  It had all of her money, her credit cards, her pictures of her grandchildren, calendar, phone numbers, adressess, and I think it had her passport too.  People these days, it makes me upset.  That's my blog post for today.  Life sometimes sucks and then all we can do is, well, deal with it.

Blogging in Physics

I'm bored right now. I am sitting in Physics. He is showing us one of his PowerPoints... I'm sort of paying attention but not really.... haha Alex just asked if that was a blog.... so anyway... I'm bored... So today is the Phillies vs. Giants game. GO PHILLIES!!!!! GIANTS CAN SUCK IT!!!! And the Yankees are playing!!! UGH! THEY HAVE TO WIN!!! LOL.... well I'm gonna go and pay attention to Dr. G right now...

BYE!!!

Hey Everybody! :D (<-- insert gay face)

I'm back from... nowhereland!!! Woo... nah, I just haven't been posting because my life has been really stressful so far. Not that my life is ever not stressful. Just that this past week has been more so than before. I mean basically it was cabaret, and my PSA and bridge were due, and I practically failed an Algebra II test! Ah, nothing beats a week like that. So, I am still in a much needed vacation to like, Disneyland. Disneyland would be awesome right now. Well, not at this exact moment because it would be dark and scary right now. But, you know what I mean. Anyway, so cabaret was... interesting to say the least. I have so many dressing room stories since basically, we all shared a dressing room... but I already told Jenna most of them (and she is very sick of them). So yeah. All I'm going to say is that I hope next year's one is better :) I'm just kidding. The cabaret went pretty well, at least for me it did. For others... ("I am 16 going on 18...") not so much. But I'm pretty positive that everyone had fun. I learned that I absolutely adore the song You Raise Me Up and I Dreamed a Dream. Talk about some tear-jerkers. The sad thing is that I didn't get leied... which sucks. I wanted to get leied. Hah, and Erickson didn't get to lei his brother because he had soccer, at 7:30 at night. I bet he was lei-ing someone else. That jerk. Okay, enough with the bad lei jokes. Time to move on with life... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I could never possibly move on with life. Seriously, I've tried but the past always comes back and smacks me in the face.

Well, in other news the Yankees-Rangers series is now 2-1 with Rangers in the freakin' lead. Stupid Cliff Lee. I loved him when he was on the Phillies last year during the World Series, and now I absolutely hate him. I mean they got swept 8-0! Well, there's always tomorrow...

I never found my retainers yet. I think they're lost forever in the world of unfoundliness. That's my word now. Unfoundliness. Nice word, eh?

And Jenna... Avan Jogia is pretty hot... BUT NOT ALEX PETYFER!!! I STILL BELIEVE IN CALLAN MCCAULIFFE!!!

And that concludes my update on the oh-so-exciting (catch my sarcasm there?) life that I live.

I got a big-ass bruise on my shin... it hurts and it's freakin' me out because I have no clue how I got it...

OKAY BYE!!! :D (<-- Woo gay emoticon!!!)

fufilling your childhood dreams, customer services, and things that don't go away part two

Well, I'm back!  It's been a crazy week, and on Monday, well wish me luck. But, yes indeed, this is the continuation to "fufilling your childhood dreams, customer services, and things that don't go away" because, well, for things that don't go away, I was originally going to write about this stupid cold sore I have, but then it did go away... but!  VIOLA!  It comes back and on the other side of my lip! AH!  But, atleast it isn't as painful, which is always good.  But, a recap of my week.  OH!  Today's my aunt's birthday, so wish her a big 'ole happy birthday! :)  Plus!  There was our school's cabaret performance on Friday and Saturday which, honestly, was very good.  So then on Saturday, we, the bloggers, slept over at Jenna's grandparents' place and yeah.  Which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do considering I have a debate tomorrow, or shoots, later on today.  O.o wish me luck :)  Well, I couldn't go to sleep, too nervous, it counts as 15% of our final grade.  I should get SOME sleep... night night.

dave barnes

So I've discovered a new artist that I enjoy quite a lot. (Hint: His name is in the title!)

I was listening to his music yesterday and I am thoroughly addicted to it. I especially love his song, Sticks and Stones. The chorus is just so beautiful and true that I can't help but sing it all the time! If you wanna know what the chorus is, look up his song on youtube. He has a bunch of other songs, too! Believe it or not, there's more than just that one!

But today was kind of bittersweet. Our classes were only forty minutes long, but we had to take the ACTs. They actually didn't seem that hard, but that's kind of what scares me. You know when you take a test and it seems like it's incredibly easy, but then it turns out that you're doing the whole thing wrong? Yeah, I'm afraid that's what happened. And then after all of our classes, we hung out at school. Played some BS, remembered our Washington D.C. trip, broke some speakers, sang, and stalked a cockroach. (The cockroach was later smushed.) Then we went to practice our Spartan Cabaret which makes its famous debut on Friday! Goodness I'm so nervous because I don't know if we can get it all together in time. I hope we can though because regardless of the quality, a lot of us have put in a lot of effort into this show. Of course, I'm not actually in the show. I'm working the spotlights, but I've seen just about every practice.

If you haven't noticed, I do not blog every day anymore. That thing lasted about a week, maybe ten days before I gave up. But anyway! Wish us luck on our cabaret and that I did well on my ACTs!

loving relaxation, hatin' on fellow blogger

Well! To start off, I am thoroughly enjoying this four day weekend and I am disliking Gwendilyn.

I've basically been chilling out this entire weekend, you know, besides cheering for the Phillies who've won their series and heading over to the NLCS for the third time, I believe. (Lots of commas in the previous sentence.) I'm planning on doing that evil thing called homework tomorrow because I can. Do you know why I can? It's because I don't have school tomorrow! That's right. Thank you, Columbus for finding America. If only you knew that you gave students a break from that wicked thing called school. You know, besides finding a new and quite prosperous country.

I am DISLIKING GWENDILYN because she has read The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. I couldn't even read her blog post because I knew that it would come up. She has issues with keeping her mouth shut when she gets too exhilarated about a topic. That topic, in this case, would be that book. She is going to say WAY too much and I'll end up figuring things out and that would just frustrate me because I wouldn't be able to enjoy the literature of it all. For those of you who don't know what The Lost Hero is about, read Gwen's post. I'm sure she mentioned it somewhere, but be careful when you read. If you read too much, the whole book might be spoiled for you.

And that's about it. Happy 10/10/10 for those of you who don't live on the west coast or later. Not sure if that makes sense, but if it's not 10/10/10 for you, happy 10/11/10!

P.S. - The picture above has been done by a DeviantArtist by the username of burdge-bug. Here's a link to her work. It's fantastic! And if you're a bookworm, she's fantastic if you want to know what certain characters should look like. And even if you're not a bookworm, check it out. I've fallen in love with her stuff and maybe you will too!

i love this four day weekend

Hi all!!  So, this past weekend has been extremely awesome for me.  First of all, it's a four day weekend, which is ALWAYS nice, though there's only a day and a half left, but still, very relaxing.  And also, when I woke up at around 9:30am on Saturday morning, I woke up to find a package in my living room.  No more than the sixe of a shoebox, it was from Amazon.com and inside was probably one of my favorite books ever.  The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan.  So today is Sunday, and I've finished the book, and, all I'm going to say about this book/series, is that it's going to be good.  I'm usually a patient person, but I can not WAIT till the next book comes out a year or so from now.  But oh my gracious goodness, the next book in the Heros of Olympus series is going to be good.  I personally thought the beginning of The Lost Hero was sort of slow, probably because I'm not really one for third-person books (which is why I LOOOVED the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series) but once it got to the end, oh boy, was I hooked.  What I also liked, but at the same time disliked, was the way... nah, I can't spoil it.  I think I'll wait a few weeks (though it tortures me to wait, haha, so much for being patient) to let my fellow Rick Riordan/Percy Jackson/Annabeth/Greek Mythology/Mythology in general fans read the book (since it officially releases in two days, or the 12th, depending on how this post will be dated...)  BUT!  If you're wondering how I got this book about four days earlier, I'm not so sure.  My dad ordered it for me off Amazon.com, and it's not really unusual for me to get the books before their official release.  I guess Amazon has them in stock already and to prevent it arriving late, they ship it out earlier.  I'm sure it depends on the book and where you live, but, I think because of where I live, and how iffy it can be shipping something to here, they ship it earlier.  'Cause I get a lot of the just-released books before they're released, like "Only the Good Spy Young" and "The Heist Society" both by Ally Carter about two days before their release date. 

Apart from that excitment above, what else am I loving about this wonderful four day weekend?  Hmm... that, I think that's it.  Haha!  Oh!  I cleaned my room today, which probably contributes to my positive atittude, though, by next week, when my room's a mess, I'll probably be all gloom-and-dooms.  But, we'll see. ;)

OH!! Don't forget to check out Rick Riordan's blog and also the site for the Heros of Olympus!  Acccording to the site, there's gonna be a webcast on the 12th at 7pm Eastern time.  Which is 1pm Hawaiian-Aleutian time, and 5pm in the Pacific/Mainland-US-Western time zone.  Apparently Rick Riordan is reading the first couple chapters and answering questions.  Aww shoots.  I'm still gonna be at school during this time... grr.  Oh wells.  Maybe I can politely ask my teacher (who thankfully at the time is going to be our world history teacher, and we just finished learning about the Greeks and now we're learning about the Romans... ironic, isn't it?!  'Cause in the story...)  OH!!  And apparently there's gonna be some kind of special announcment that we don't want to miss... oh boy, oh boy!  I should stop before I ruin the book for those, if any, who read this.  :P 

i am tired.

It's 8:42 right now and I just feel like sleeping.

There are several reasons why I absolutely cannot go to sleep right now. Here are several of them:

• My dad will think that I'm sick, or something.
• Jane Lynch, also known as Sue Sylvester from Glee (or Spencer's mom on Criminal Minds or Sam's mom on iCarly) is going to be on Saturday Night Live with "supposedly" Bruno Mars (except, I think he's still in jail for possession of cocain).
• I have to work on my story that I was supposed to have written 10 pages for about two weeks ago.

So tomorrow is 10/10/10! I can only imagine how many people will be updating their Facebook statuses at 10/10/10 10:10. I'm going to try and I'm probably not going to make it. I'm going to update it at 10/10/10 10:11. That would just be devastating.

But today! I was playing Sims 3... Pretty much all day. Some people play Halo Reach all day. I prefer Sims 3. But my mom had to go to some bridal shower for her co-worker who I know and is extremely nice. I was invited to the wedding, but then I'd have to wear something along the lines of a dress. I have not become accustomed to wearing girly things. I'm still in the stage where dresses are for fancy, FANCY things. I realize that it's not always for fancy things, but I have not yet accepted that fact. But while I was playing Sims 3, I was watching Yankees and Twins. (Yeah, I'm a multi-tasker.) Congratulations to the New York Yankees! Off to the ALDS again!

And now I shall work on my story because if I get to 10 pages, I will allow myself to go to sleep! And yes, my priority for the moment is my story and not my physics homework, which I cannot figure out! Peace OUT.

roy halladay rocks my socks.

I know it's only the first day of the post-season, but it's not really going to get much better than today. (Unless, you know, something like a perfect game comes up. Extremely unlikely.)

To keep it simple, Phillies pitcher, Roy Halladay has thrown a no-hitter in his first post-season game. Roy "Doc" Halladay threw a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds today. I can't even begin to describe how incredibly impressed I am by this! I'm not going to pretend that I've been watching baseball forever and know the history, but I know that this is extremely special. Especially because he's thrown a perfect game this season as well! (For those of you that don't know, a perfect game means no walks, no hits, and no errors.) I believe there's only been five people to throw a perfect game and a no-hitter in the same season. I'm not exactly sure, but I think that's what SportsCenter said. But I do know, for sure, that he is only the second person in the history of post-season baseball to throw a no-hitter in the post-season. The other was Don Larsen. I cannot even express how much my mind has been blown.

Yankees won. Phillies WON. Rays lost. No classes (because of a freshman retreat). I'm having a fantastic day. But now, duty (aka-homework) calls. Begin the end of my fantastic day.

P.S. - I don't want to bring up this topic today because I'm so happy, but I know I'm going to bring it up. It's the issue on homosexuals. I feel very strongly that they should be treated the same way as everyone else. But I have to elaborate on this one day. I complain about this issue to my mom far too much. I only brought it up because it was on the news, just now.

raising hope and i am number four

I don't know if I've mentioned this, but the show Raising Hope is extraordinarily cute!

It's the show right after Glee for those of you that don't know, but are complete GLEEKS! It's about a boy who knocked up a serial killer who then went to jail. Then the boy went to visit the serial killer and found out that she was pregnant with his baby! Then the boy decided he wanted to keep it. So their extremely wacky family ends up raising a baby and they decided to name it Hope, hence the title "Raising Hope." But it's a really nutty family! The boy and his father clean pools and do yard work and that kind of stuff. His mom is like a housekeeper or something but she's a hoarder. But his grandma is by far the weirdest. She does not wear a shirt. It's quite awkward but so funny! It makes me LOL all the time!

In other entertainment news, I really want to see the movie I Am Number Four. It's a book, but I haven't read it. I'm sure Lauren will sometime soon. But the real reason I want to see it, is actually... Alex Pettyfer. And apparently Callan McAuliffe. It's kind of a tie breaker for who would be the best Peeta. But I kind of think that Alex always plays jerks. And he's a little too manly. Yeah, I see Peeta more as a sensitive guy and Callan McAuliffe can do that. But back to I Am Number Four. It reminds me a lot of Daniel X by James Patterson. There are aliens Number One, Number Two, Number Three and so on. Those three have been hunted down and Alex Pettyfer plays Number Four and he's trying to stay alive. I'm not sure what the whole plot of movie is, but it looks very intriguing. (If you know what I mean. No, no. I really want to see the movie, just for the movie.)

You're welcome for gracing you with my blogging presence. Hopefully, you shall be gratified by my blogging presence tomorrow as well!

friends, romans, country men... lend me your ears.

Sounds familiar?  I hope it should for those of you who are either in highschool or have finished highschool.  If you're in middle school and know this line, great for you, I have a feeling you're going to excel come high school.  For those of you who don't know this very famous line, it's from Shakespeare's play "Julius Caeser" where Marc Antony is giving a soliloquy, which really just is a fancy word for speech.  Anyways!  Julius Caeser and Shakespeare.  What's so special about Shakespeare?  He was born rich, but then his father gambled away all of the family's money.  He got a woman pregant at the age of 18, her name was , I kid you not, Anne Hathaway, who, by the way, was 6 or so, I may be wrong, years older than he.  So that must have been awkward.  PLUS!  He HATED her, which didn't help their marrige they were both forced into.  Then, they had three more kids, another girl, and a set of twins, but, one of the twins died... Hamnet was his name.  Sounds familiar?  Exactly!  It is said that Shakespeare wrote the play Hamlet in honor of his young son Hamnet.  But, Shakespeare's life story isn't what makes him so special and worth learning about.  What makes him so special is that he wrote about instances that were universal; that were understandable for the lowiest of people to the highest of people, from those on the Eastern hemispher, to those on the Western hemispher.  What he wrote about didn't have any goal to become rich (which he actually wasn't during his time).  He wrote because his heart told him too; because he needed a way to express his life.  And THAT'S why I think Shakespeare is important... anyone think otherwise?  (If anyone is reading, comment below and tell me what your two-cents is on Shakespeare.)

battery life

Don't you hate it when your battery dies?

I mean, I understand that I should charge the thing. But it seems like the battery should just last longer! My phone almost died twice yesterday. That was because I was playing games on it all day. But then today, I was texting Lauren for a while and then it was all "20% Battery Remaining." I didn't even stress my stupid battery out! It's your job to make calls and send/receive text messages and NOT die out. And now my laptop has informed me that I am running low on reserve battery power. I, being the absolute genius that I am, did not bring my charger with me to my grandmother's house. Batteries should learn to last longer. Or put some solar panels on it and absorb that sunlight! I'm sure Japan's come up with something like that 'cause they come up with everything that has to do with technology.

Today was a very exciting day of baseball for my family because my family is a baseball oriented family. At least, for the past few years we have. I have become a Yankee fan. My dad, unfortunately hates the Yankees. He's a big Braves fan, and I'm not. Today, for those of you that don't know, was the last day of the regular season and it was pretty important. The Yankees are the AL wild card champions because the Rays won when they went head to head. The Braves are the NL wild card champions so I guess we both win. Well we come in the best of second place.

Well, my battery is going to give out (due to the lack of chargers and/or solar panels) so farewell.

fufilling your childhood dreams, customer services, and things that don't go away

Hi!  After days and days and DAYS of no posts from yours truely, I'm here to say, "I'M BACK!"  Let me explain why I away.  First off, my laptop was being a meanie and decided to break on me.  So we had to buy a new laptop (which will bring me to my first topic after this introduction).  Secondly, I had this extremely long post I typed up last night, and I finished it too, but then my interent went out and my post was deleted.  :(  BUT!!  This post won't be a rant (for the most part that is) it's going to be about fufilling your childhood dreams, customer services, and things that don't go away (as seen in the title).

FIRST OFF!  Fufilling your childhood dreams.  When I was little, I LOVED the color pink, which I still do today, along with a bunch of other colors.  ANYWAYS, back on topic, I always wanted a pink laptop.  And when I got my first laptop, a HP Pavillion DV4 1551-dx, it's basically black.  Which, I guess I was ok with because it was a laptop, and I could finally stop using the desktop, but!  It wasn't pink.  So then, when that one broke, we (me and my dad) went to Best Buy to get another laptop.  And... I got a PINK DELL!  (No HP this time, and I'll explain why later...)  A PINK laptop!  Boy am I happy.  Don't you have those childhood dreams that you always wanted to fufill no matter how crazy it is?  I know I do; I've always wanted to have my birthday party at Disneyland with the princesses, Mickey and friends, and Winne the Pooh.  Who hasn't?!  (Hmm... maybe Jenna.)  But yes, fufil those childhood dreams, I know I plan to, and I'll post something come my birthday and I'm in Disneyland.   :P

Secondly, HP customer service.  It's really not that good (and this is the nice way of saying it...)  But then again, all opinions are my own, and are not those of others.  Purely myself and my experience with them.  So while we were trying to get the return authorization code for the laptop, they were so rude, and took so long, and were so unfriendly that I wanted to scream.  And I'm usually a nice person.  Haha. So, yes, I have a Dell now, and I'm really loving it.  :)

Moving on to topic number three.  Things that never go away.  Hmm... Actually, I think I'll end this post here and keep this topic till later.  Homework calls.  :)

short one.

There are a lot of things I need to say, but the cannot be said today just because I don't have the time, but I don't want to miss another day because when I missed that day on Thursday (at least I think it was Thursday) I felt horrible.

That was a very long sentence. Just like the essay I had to write for our class! I have sentences in there that go on forever, but that's just because we need it to be three to five pages long. It's so pointless. What if I can get the message across in three sentences? I can't but what if I could? Then rambling on about it would make it seem less factual and more of just repetition.

That's all I really feel like talking about today. I'm tired and the Yankees might not win their division and neither might the Giants, so that causes me to be a little depressed. MY GOOD LUCK GOES OUT THERE TO THE YANKEES AND THE GIANTS!

WEEKEND!

I'm tired. High school is tiring. Listening to my mom ramble on about how I have too many extracurriculars is tiring. Life is tiring. SO THAT IS WHY THE LOVELY, BEAUTIFUL, AND UTTERLY SHORT WEEKEND WAS INVENTED. You know what I miss so dearly? HALF DAYS. Those were the best freaking things ever. I didn't know that until now. Now I'll never know what half days in the high school are life.. BECAUSE THEY ARE GONE. More school = a VERY unhappy Lauren. Not that I absolutely hate learning. I absolutely hate doing work, who doesn't? But, as with everything in life, I need to get the biggest straw ever and SUCK IT UP (and promptly spit it back out afterwards). Man, writing about how tired I am is making me tired, might as well go to bed right now...

Goodnight BEAUtiful world! (I need to stop with the Beau puns...)

NO!! [insert sad face]

I AM SO EXTRAORDINARILY SORRY! I DID NOT BLOG YESTERDAY!

But luckily there was another blogger (thank you, Lauren) was on and said something about her Japanese foreign friends. It does suck when you have these foreign visitors from Japan that only speak Japanese and you don't speak much Japanese. Oh and if that thing up there only looks like a red dot, it's not. It's the Japanese flag.

So I am in drama once more. My friend and I are like stagehands and we don't do anything so we started the "Do Nothing Club." And the best part is the slogan. It's ultimately one of the best slogans ever. So I say, "Don't ask what we do," and then my friend goes, "Cause we do nothing!" That was amazingly awesome, wasn't it? Didn't that just blow you away? I know it did. Don't even respond. But now we're separated. And she's doing something and now I'm doing nothing on my own. (On My Own is a song in our cabaret. Such a sad song.)

One of my friends are up and I have to tell them what I think of their voice so I'm gonna tell you guys! I think her voice is really good but very quiet. It's very difficult to hear her, especially because the piano is so amplified in this small room. But she needs to stop going, "BLEH! What was that?!" and then start singing again because if she messes up in the performance, she can't do that! That's enough of that.

Damn. I feel so alienated because I'm not singing and they're all talking about singing and they have that in common to talk about whereas I don't. I would've sang but I don't have those kinds of guts. And I can't really sing so, that's a major setback.

All right. I've just realized that my typing makes A LOT of noise. I should learn how to type as loud as my friend sings. Haha! I'm just joking! Not really.
