AND

DDR EXTREME 2!
DANCE PAD!

AND

A LAPTOP!

i was so fucking surprised, man! i mean, i knew about the dance pad and the DDR, but i wasn't expecting the laptop until my Sweet 16! and it's all blue and small...but kind of a problem child. cause it didn't have any basic programs like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on it, so mom bought me something to install into it, but there's already a trial version of it on the computer, so it won't upload! TT.TT and my dance pad is wacked, too. aren't i lucky? when i'm trying to select something in DDR with it, it will sometimes start freaking out and it'll just keep going down instead of stopping, even when i step off the dance pad. so i have to wrestle with it to make it stop where i want. and DDR Extreme 2 is fun. it has Cartoon Heros and Butterfly remix on it. but it goes into this whole stupid thing that the YGO games went into that made them stupid, too. they did this "shop" thing, where you have to BUY new songs with the points you earn from dancing. on the plus side of this stupidity, you can buy outfits for your dance characters and hints for certain aspects of the game. like Akira already has a white outfit up for sale, but it costs 100,000 points and i only have about 19,000 ^^;
and last night, after Christmas Eve service at church, we went out and saw the lights. and man, let me just say...WE NEED MORE LIGHTS! i mean, like, need my own geneator seperate for lights! *evil laughter* yes...*ahem* and then we went and saw grandma and grandpa and when we got home, there was something on our porch. and it's, like, 10:30, a'ight? so we're like, "what the heck?" and it was a popcorn tin. but mom, and her fear of the world was like, "well, let's not open it, we don't know who gave it to us." and it was still taped up and it's a popcorn tin, man, i love those! so i opened it, but she told me not to eat any. but i ate some today. and i told her, "i sacrificed one for the family, and if i die, i went by caramel popcorn." what a way to go, ne?
oh, and i got $35 in Christmas money. my aunt gave me $20 of ones V^^V i'm gonna be rich, rich, rich, for AO! hehe!

yesterday was the Japanese club eat out. and of a planned 10, only 3 of us showed up. me, Bryan, and....the other guy who's in japanese club whose name i'll probably never know. I gave bryan his Xmas presents and i think he liked them. i hope he liked them. i gave him a CD with sheet music, mp3s, and a fic on it and a sketch pad and some professinal drawing pencils, since he draws. and i found out something about Bryan that i probably didn't want to know for a while. but i knew that i wasn't Byran's first girlfriend and he knows that he's not my first boyfriend, so i just have to take it in stride. anyhoo, we were there for an hour and a half before we even got DRINKS! at first, the service was really good, asking us twice for drinks in the first 20 minutes, but after that...all downhill. i made Bryan go out and signal for the waiter, cause i had been starving myself all day....well, not really. i just ate brunch really late and didn't get hungry until 4. but i didn't get food until 8! and that's the second time i'd practically inhaled food. but i had salmon, and all the plates came with honey dew, cherries, oranges, apples, and a bowl of rice. i asked bryan if i could have his cherries, cause they were the good kind of cherries that usually come on desserts. Maraschino cherries? and he gave them to me ^^ 4 cherries, score. i tried to be sensual with them, but it didn't work. they broke off too easily ^^; ah well, can't blame a girl for trying to get SOME attention out of her boyfriend, ne? considering he's become more distant to me. i'm trying to figure out what he's so afraid of in a relationship. well, now i know, i just don't think i should put it on here. i'm thinking of writing him something to tell him what i really expect. hm. and we had to give Bryan a ride home again and when we got there, he just kinda gave me this look like he knew what i was always asking myself and he was saying to just trust him. and i smiled and nodded. i'm such a softie. since he's practically bound to me, anyways. what with Chris saying that if Bryan breaks my heart, he'll break him ^^;
whelp, that's all i have time for, folks. and Ching, i didn't get my free manga TT.TT nighty-night! (or it was when i updated)

Warning! really long post that rants about band and Bryan
Hey, everyone! It’s the end of the week again and that means I can stay up late enough to update!
It’s Xmas break! Woo! Except we go back on January 2nd, so have no time to make up sleep from staying up til ungodly hours on the 1st.
Okay, I have a lot to update on my week. I don’t remember why, but Mr. Sullivan wasn’t in for the last three days this week. Which means a sub, which means someone who doesn’t know what we do and has no way to help us get better since she doesn’t know what we do. I don’t care that she’s in an orchestra (she kept calling us orchestra instead of band. Hello! There’s no string instruments in us!) And the band just drove me crazy! Have any of you band people ever played a song called Dusk? It’s a very beautiful song that, when played the right way, puts you in a trance, even if you’re the one playing. One wrong note or cue and that trance is broken. When we played it with the sub, there was nothing! No trance, no magic, nothing! Because people were talking during their rests, they wouldn’t cut off, and they were just making me so angry! And then, to make me even angrier and depressed, Bryan ignored me all through lunch AGAIN! And I refused to take it anymore. So right when the bell rang, I left without saying bye or hugging him. And later that day, when he was at my locker, he said the jazz band drove him crazy, too. But I was mad at him. He had constantly been ignoring me and I was tired of it. And he said he got the feeling I was mad at him. I didn’t answer and we walked to Tom’s car in silence. Then Debbie, Bryan’s ex-girlfriend came over, cause she sometimes gets rides from Tom, and she says some happy random fact about her life and Bryan snaps at her and Debbie snaps back at him and he mutters about how annoying she is. And, ya know, I may be mad at him, but I still care for him, so I sit next to him to help him calm down and I tell him that I planned on going to the choir concert that night if he still wanted me to. And he said he’d like me to. And I think there were double meanings in what we were saying. Like, “will you still have me?” “yes.” But that’s probably just me and my ever-romantic brain. And he apologized for ignoring me all the time, that he got distracted easily. I said he was just lucky I’m a sucker for apologies. He just laughed and agreed. And I went to the concert that night and actually enjoyed myself (this is all Wednesday, by the way). The choir sang Carol of the Bells! That’s my favoritest song! (yes, I said favoritest) And the orchestra performed and they had an oboe! *dreamy look* it had such a pure sound! My crappy rented oboe couldn’t do that, I haven’t really been able to hear Ricky, the other oboe, but it made me so jealous. Speaking of playing the oboe, I found a whole bunch of anime sheet music the other day. I was like, “score! Music I can start an oboe folder with!” cause I have a TON of clarinet sheet music and books, and now I need to start on the oboe. Anyways, then on Thursday, Lord Fluffy (aka Robert. I just don’t like calling anybody by a name that could be Rob or something, but he doesn’t seem like a Rob or Bobby or anything) came over to Bryan and told him how he was gonna beat him in dueling and Bryan said that he was only gonna duel Logan ONCE at lunch then he wasn’t going to duel anymore that day. He told him that, “he had to fix a mistake he’d made.” And that made me really happy inside. Because the “mistake” he was talking about was ignoring me. So I ate and waited for him to finish dueling Logan. And he did. And he was like, “let’s do one more.” I was just thinking, “okay.” And then, apparently, the duel ended, but they kept dueling in a “practice battle.” And I got fed up. So I read the school paper and when he FINALLY finished dueling, I was into the paper and I HATE to be interrupted when I’m reading. So he just kinda stood there then went and started helping Josh reconstructing his deck and the bell rang. So basically, he ignored me AGAIN, even though he said he was gonna fix that *shakes head* and on Thursday, when the band kept talking again, every other time I heard talking from the trombones I would see him turned around talking to Kerry next to him. And had I had something at the time other than paper to throw at him, I would have. He’s a senior and the band is already acting bad enough without him encouraging them to talk! So after band I went and found him, hit him upside the head, and yelled at him for encouraging the bad behavior. He told me what he knew was doing was bad after a little while and stopped and I apologized for hitting him, but, really, he deserved it. He knows better. Hell, I know better! *sighs* thing is, I just give too many chances. Fate has tied us together. And It’s clutches won’t let him go from me now. Even if we were to break up, we’d still probably act the same way with each other. Bryan said he’d call, but he’s been saying that for the last month over weekends and it hasn’t happened. I said that and he was like, “I will!”
And last night, we ate at Rockies, and the DJ wasn’t there! But then he came in later and he kept staring at me. And he started passing out candy canes and when he got to us he sat down next to me and was all, “where’s Bryan?” and if you didn’t guess by now, the DJ is Bryan’s dad. I told him the last time I saw Bryan, he was leaving with Tom, cause his dad hadn’t seen him when he was home, so he said that him with Tom is a scary thing. It is. Tom tried to kill me twice yesterday hugging me. He’s a senior football player. Yeah. He’s managed to kill Bryan a lot. He jumped on Bryan once and Bryan couldn’t balance right and they both fell over and killed Byran’s knee the night of the first choir concert (Tuesday). And after Rockies, mom drove to Bryan’s house cause his house was mentioned as one of the most decorated in the city, so mom wanted to see it, then we drove by DQ and I looked for Bryan and I saw him at a table with Don, I think it was. The person he was sitting with looked female, and the only female I can think of at DQ was his manager, Don. And I saw Tom running around in his football jacket
Okay, I should probably shut up now. Anyone who read this post all the way, I thank you for listening to my long complaining and random facts. Ching’s b-day party on Sunday and the Japanese Club eat out on Tuesday.

my parnets saw my progress report today. it wasn't a pretty sight. i now have a D in band, because i got a D on the test. and Mr. Sullivan explained to us that your grade on the test became your grade for the last 9 weeks. and my C in math has remained a C, and mom was mad at that. she said that since my grade's stayed there (hey, better than the F i had near the VERY beginning) i have to start bringing home more math work to practice on for tests (tests i do REALLY bad on, even though i DO get the material. my parents just say i'm stupid) and mom was asking me if my band problems were because of the oboe and if i should switch back to the clarinet. hell no! the oboe gives me a better chance at a scholarship than a clarinet ever could! besides, the problem wasn't the oboe, it was the test! it was just kinda because of the oboe that i missed all the info that was on the test. cause i was out of the room learning the oboe while he taught everyone else everything. so yeah. and my English teacher is fucking stupid and senile. i talked to her about our independent novel sheets (we were supposed to fill them all the way out with summaries of what we read) and i told her that MacBeth is a really short play and i'm a really fast reader, so i was only able to fill out 3. and she gave me an 18/40 on that. and on my presentation said stupid things like, "didn't look up" i know this will be a lame excuse, but i never took speech! i don't know the proper speech etiquette stuff things!
Hiei #23: but you know to look up and-mmffph!
AG: *puts duct tape away* so yeah. senile old bitch, i tell ya. and girls...i think i'll finally admit this...i'm not happy. when i talk about bryan, sometimes convos end in "so long as you guys are happy." and i realized...i'm really not happy. last week, he always came in late to lunch from some other engagement, like choir, or a chess tournament or senior items. but now that he's back again all i get is ignored while he plays games like Stepmania and has now gotten back into dueling. and he used to tell me that he'd call on weekends at, at first, was really good with that. now he doesn't. and today at lunch, not really a major thing, but still kinda hurtful: he didn't hug me after lunch before he headed off to jazz band. just walked ou the door with not even so much as a 'bye' or even a look back. and i haven't gone on a date since DIII! that was LAST MONTH! and with that today along with my parents telling me i'm stupid with more words....yeah, not one of my better days. what's the point in having a boyfriend when he's just a boy friend? i guess that's all for this week. pep band tomorrow with Chris, and Tina, and Bryan. i wonder if it's been as hard for Tina to go back to flute after bassoon as it was for me to go back to clarinet...

my, my! so much this week! well, maybe, i don't know.
okay, so what's really amazing, first of all, is that all week at lunch, Bryan and Josh and Robert did NOT play Stepmania at lunch. now, this is QUITE an amazing feat. (btw, stepmania is DDR for your computer. you use the arrow keys and the SDFE keys) cause Monday...i don't remember what caused Bryan to be late to lunch, so he wasn't there then. Tuesday, he was in this chess tournament thingie at lunch, so he was late then, too. I don't remember Wednesday, but Thursday and Friday, omg! okay, so we got this fricken evil sub in Japanese for those two days. and we were watching this video narrated by a lady who had some issues with the Japanese because her daugher and mother were both sent to Dutch Japanese interment camps. and she was stupid, too. she was like, "this MANGAR, as they call it, shows a very violent depiction of a woman getting raped, even though the Japanese society is very low on crimes." and, c'mon, not ALL "mangar" is violent! i mean, ya got-....well, no...well, what about-...no....I know! Furuba!
Hiei #23: Furuba wasn't out at the time the video was made
AG: you hush up. besides, like she said, the Japanese don't act on it!
Hiei: sure they do. didn't it talk about how the Japanese raped Chinese women and it seemed that only in their country they had resp-*covers his mouth* you be quiet, or i make you gay
Hiei: *eyes widen* *shuts up*
AG: good boy. anyways, so the sub started the video and i was talking with Ana and Vanessa, cause we all forgot how to write the dates in japanese ^^; and the sub just stared at us as if we were the most disrupftul thing to the learning process of this uneducational video. so after we figured the date out, we (mostly me) would sometimes comment on the stupid things in the video. and she would just stare at me. finally, she came over and sat with us. god, i hated her. and apprently, she's the friend of the evil 8th grade reading teacher. i never had reading, so i was spared her wrath. but if the sub is anything like the reading teacher...oh man! i'm so glad i never had to take reading! she didn't give as much guff to 6th period, though, i hear. even though they're the most active Japanese 1 class. -.- Bryan said he was able to fill out the sheet for the video almost immediatly, so he slept and the sub didn't wake him. sure, HE can nap. and the next day we were working from our workbooks, and Vanessa, Ana, and i are always the most animated in 1st period Japanese, cause we just LOVE it! so we're talking KINDA loudly, and she turns to us and says, "girls, you're being too noisy, you need to be quiet." and for god's sake, she's sitting right in front of me! of COURSE we're loud compared to the rest of the room! but the absolute hateful thing she did was LOCK US OUT OF OUR JAPANESE ROOM DURING LUNCH! man, that has been OUR japanese room ALL SCHOOL YEAR and it's been hers for ONE DAY! and she has the gall to lock us out! i even told Chris that later he would have to come and help us break the door down, since he's the buff one. another guy nearby, also an anime fan, said that it would be better if we used him since he's taller. i said we'd tie both him and chris together at the feet and use them both. we didn't though. god, sometimes i hate being the good girl that way.
Tuesday was also the all city jazz concert (bryan and chris are both in jazz band) but i couldn't go, cause dance class was at the same time. and i haven't mastered the 'two places at once' trick. so i was gonna go to the DIII jazz concert today, but i kept forgetting to ask Bryan when and where it was >.< and i was gonna go support him! cause he was in his jazz outfit today...did i mention it's ALL black? omg, my goth side...yeah, let's not go there.
oh yeah, Monday Tom made Bryan leave early, i think. same for Wednesday, too. cause Tom is Bryan's ride to work. yeah, Bryan's the one with the better income in this relationship. and yeah. and i also said i was going to jump Bryan's bones when he dressed like the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera. i'm just kidding of course, but it's fun to make him flinch and cringe...*bares nails* whoever said i wasn't evil never saw my dark side...
and i need to change my theme again, so i'll be working on that later! and besides, you guys are probably sick of reading about Bryan. but give me a little bit of a break here. i haven't dated since early elementary

Hiei #23: i resent that
AG: yes, i know you do. i asked Bryan if i could steal him for Thanksgiving, but alas. i could not. ah well. i think he'll live with not having to play cards for hours on end. and i don't have long, cause my parents are starting to get angry for telling me to get off, so i should post before i'm unplugged. Happy Turkey Day!

Things I am Thankful For
anime, Internet, my nii, Bryan, Chris, Lj, Ching, yaoi, snow, skiing

my article went through! my article went through! yatta! *throws confetti*
Hiei #23: *calmly brushes confetti out of hair*
i thought it hadn't gone through, but when i checked theO, there was a thing about two new articles. not wanting to get my hopes up...i read through it as fast as i could and i saw my user name! my article went through! and it has a 100% rating! course, that's only with 4 votes and two comments, but hey! better than it not going through at all! yay for me! i can do something! okay, i'll stop now.
today, i went to go see my grandpa and drove there for two hours. it killed my neck, my eyes, and gave me a headache. but when we visited, i watched BSU kick U of I's ass 70-35! HAHAHA! eat that, Vandals! and i kept saying to my grandpa and Ivolene that i had marched on that field, since the Broncos and Vandals were playing on the blue turf. then when that game was over, grandpa changed it to OSU vs. Oregon. and they're field looked very weird with light green/dark green, only an O in the middle and it also looked like a much wider field. and i got to watch a little of the band at that half time! the BSU band wasn't at their game. the stupid Vandal's band was. and they dared to play Iron Man! grrrrr Vandals grrrrrrrrrr

hey! long time no post, eh? not like many people are gonna see me anyways. but my popularity number has, strangely, been going up and up, instead of down, so i must fix that.
like the new changes? it was time for a fall/thanksgiving-esque picture. and i found this! but when i tried to put the code up to make the site move and not the background, the code would make my background disappear! like the bg color you always pick that usually disappears behind your images? yeah, it did that. and Yoko Bandit has disappeared! along with her help site! either that, or this computer just suddenly can't handle downloading her help site anymore. yeah right.
i submitted an article last night. now let's hope that theO will take it. not like my greetings weren't sweet.
and i guess that's all, really. ta ta!

so bored..can't focus
*tries to copy the ninja hand symbol 'tori'* i am here to bitch about my bitch tyrant (BT) again. she's always making fun of my shows! be it her singing the name Yu-Gi-Oh REALLY off tune to saying Naurto has no plot, she's ALWAYS making fun of them! i mean, c'mon! do you hear about ME making fun of Gilmore Girls or Amazing Race? Sex and the City, yes, because it was a show about SEX! and if she wasn't really watching it, if she flipped back to a part where the ladies were talking about/doing sex, she would PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION! i mean, she watched that show about human sex until i got so disgusted with it, i told her to change it. and this other time, this lady was making out with this guy and she was giving a NARRITVE with things like, "he stroked that SUPPLE behind..." and i'm just like, "mom, turn it." and she was like, "why? it's just kissing?" i was just like: O.o wtf, bitch? you DEAF?! jesus.
speaking of stupid ppl in general, one day i was at the library and one of the libriarian dudes was talking to these little kids with their mom while he checked out their DVDs and asked them, "what about PokeMAN? are you old enough for PokeMAN?" god, i just wanted to chuck the DVD i had in my hand at him and yell, "is it THAT hard to say a word, even if it IS Japanese? i mean, it's right on the cover! PO-KE-MON! but the little kids were right in front of them, so i didn't want to encourage them to be violent.
and earlier, my BT was all telling me to get off, but i'm downloading Yahoo messenger, and since i have dial up, it's taking a while so she was all yelling at me how i always start things right before i have to get off. wait, what? you just said you were at 95%! damn thing. so yeah, juji, soon i'll have yahoo, if that'll make you happy.
and i guess i shall end my post for tonight. ja!

z.z
i can just see the little kids who have first time Halloweens:
kid: *throws up from too much candy* woo hoo! more room for more candy! *pigs out again*
and if you can see this mental image, if you're not laughing on the floor, something's seriously wrong with you. you have to think about it for a while, though, for it to really kick in.
anyways, now that my first post was so LOVINGLY deleted from a frozen computer *kicks it again* here is something i'm sure all of you will enjoy

THIS ^^^ up here is Yahiko sure, it LOOKS like Hiei, but i swear to you, it's Yahiko (my friend Yahiko, not the character). (btw, i didn't make this ecard/image) so yes. once i studied it for a while, i was like: OMG! It's YAHIKO! i even sent him this picture. so yeah XP i'm a fruit when it comes to him. but i swear to you, poking him is like poking a wall! it is so much fun. and look at these muscles i get from doing that! *flexes fingers*
Hiei #23: oh, i'm just EVER so jealous of your non-existant finger muscles
AG: oh, you know it! but i should end this post, for i shall go to bed. good night, good morning, good afternoon, and good night again!
