school's over.

the songs that are going to make me nostalgic and think of freshman year whenever i hear them are......

*sanbika by plastic tree, since i saw the music video the day before school ended

*taiyou no kiss by zone, just because...

but anyway. i survived jett's final. :D so i guess i didn't fail and die from the shock after all.

meanwhile....

How do you know if...

....a guy likes you?

1. Brian, the guy I danced with... who said in my yearbook:

"Hello again! I just decided to put another note in here. I'd just like to say how much I appreciate you dancing with me that one time. It really meant a lot to me. Hey, if you ever need anything, just ask, alright?"

He had already signed it once before, but then he signed it again.

2. David, the guy I met Saturday night:

"Hey, It's been an honor to meet you. May our friendship grow and last forever. Think of me over the summer and keep in touch" And he left his phone number.

He also sent me an e-mail the day after we met:

"Hey, truly it was nice meeting you. I would see you a lot around school but we never met. At the party, when I first saw your personality I wanted to go over and meet you but then I thought "the school year is over, I missed my chance." But destiny prevails, we met either way.

PS.
Do you want to plan something over the summer? I was thinking that it could be fun to go somewhere and show off our DDR skills. hahahahahahaha *yawn* For now I must get some sleep.

see you at school.

PPS
*smiles* get an AA or AAA for me, I know you can."

o____o; I don't know what to think

Hm, it's been a while, hasn't it? Sorry. Been setting up my blog with greymatter on Yuki's domain and studying for finals. Last one is tomorrow. So anyway, here's what's happened on Saturday:

I started playing DDR and got through about 10 songs, various difficulties. I was going to stop, and then I decided I may as well try to pass Rythm and Police again, since I've been trying for so long. And I passed. With a C. And now I feel like I'm about to collapse. But the impartant part is: I passed.

So anyway. Saturday was Joe's birthday party. He had so many gaming systems there, since everyone brought something. Naturally, I stayed in the DDR room most of the time. ^^; But there were also 2 GameCubes, an XBox, a Playstation, a movie, and a basketball hoop.

It took me a little while, but I started playing against a few people. And...

I got to PWN Mike!!

It was crazy. Twice, too. I wasn't expecting that, since I've alwaysed considered him so much better than me. *shrug*

We also got Wendy to play, and for a beginner, she was really good. She skipped Beginner level all the way up to Light, and got almost all perfects! I thought she was ready for Standard, but she wanted to keep playing Light. Becca and Arnie played, too, but not a lot. Becca played more than Arnie did, who was busy with Soul Calibur II.

Meanwhile, Brian, Mike, and Michael were trying to convince me to eat chocolate and/or Cheeze-it (sp) crackers. But of course I said no since that stuff is bad for you ^^; hahaha. They wanted me to have pizza for dinner but I ended up having half a Subway sandwich XDDD

I met this guy named David and we got to be friends really quickly. We ended up becoming DDR partners and always played against each other. We had so many different conversations about DDR stuff... lol. We exchanged phone numbers/email/AIM addresses, so.. yeah. He seems a lot more laid back than Mike does, too. Mike tends to get really stressed out about DDR sometimes, whereas David just kind of accepts things as they are I guess. I kind of worry about Mike sometimes...

But anyway, Mike took up the habit of um... rubbing my head?? o.O; He tends to really mess up my hair when he does that... haha. But anyway, he claims it's good luck or what not... eheheh... >> Brian was trying to fix my hair but then it never stayed fixed since Mike kept messing it up again. Once he got ice cream in my hair too... >>;

When it was time it was time for dessert and presents, we went over to where the presents were. Joe got a new DDR pad, plus lots of cash and some Magic cards. Everyone ate cake, but David and I decided on strawberries instead. Mike saw my plate and was like "You ate a single strawberry for dessert??" but David and I got addicted to the strawberries and went through an entire bowl of them! o.O;

We went back to the DDR room and noticed that the M&M's were almost gone. And then eventually they were all gone, at which point Brian asked me if I had had any M&M's, cake, or ice cream. I said no, and he told me he was worried I don't get enough sugar o.O;

It was nearly time to go, but David's brother came, and played some DDR. He. Was. So. Good. He could do all those turns and whatever and then he played Legend of Maxx on Heavy~!! o.o; I was jealous. haha.....

At that time, it was about time to go home... so yeah.

I want to have another party like that. It was fun. ^^

D:

yeah. haven't been around in a while. so i'll try to update more. i've been working on my blog hosted by yuki. he asked me to get one so that he can have more hosts on his domain. if you want to visit his site, go to fragrant tears! his layouts are always so pretty. and he's so nice to me. and he fixed my greymatter XDDDDD

so we get our yearbooks tomorrow. i need everyone to sign mine, and i have to think of what to write for my friends since they'll probably want a LONG entry... haha.

tomorrow is the english final. then on friday is our math final and our engineering presentation, and on monday/tuesday we have our science final. then on wednesday it's our last day of school.

yeah... so it's the end of the year. but it still feels like there's months of school left. it doesn't feel like summer at all. except for the heat that is >___>

Today Brian didn't have a lunch, so I gave him my turkey sandwich and Japanese rice cracker things. It was fine with me and all, but it left me lunch-less, and I got really hungry. So at the end of lunch period Shala bought me some food. It's so bad for you though. The crackers had 200 calories in it, the orange juice had 150 calories and 32 grams of sugar, and the corn nuts had 100 calories and a lot of salt. Wow, that stuff is bad for you. Except maybe the orange juice...

I think I'll try sharpening my Photoshop (so-called) skills. My mom is holding a SAT practice class, and she says that when she gets the details, she will let me make the flyers. And also, I might be able to do the flyers for other classes if she hasn't already gotten some. which means lots of practice in graphic design :]

ohhhh my... look at what i have to memorize and recite by friday:

The Raven
by Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
`'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
This it is, and nothing more,'

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
`Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!'
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!'
Merely this and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
`Surely,' said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
'Tis the wind and nothing more!'

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven.
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -
Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as `Nevermore.'

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow will he leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said, `Nevermore.'

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
`Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -
Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore
Of "Never-nevermore."'

But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking `Nevermore.'

This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet violet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
`Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee
Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

THE END IS NEAR! THE END IS NEAR!

haha. i just felt like using that title. probably because just a few minutes ago i was listening to that song XD

well anyway the end of school is nearing and the teachers have decided that since there's only 12 days left, they want to give us all the work possible... not to mention finals.

but despite all the work, i'm actually going to miss school. i've made quite a few friends there and i'll miss seeing them (since we're all kind of far away). and then the different clubs were always so fun... and i'd like to go to another dance (even if it IS julie's mission to get me to dance next time, and even if vicky DOES want me to slow dance again)

i'll miss hanging out with the asian crew and talking about... everything. and i'll miss going to ddru with the nerd crew. and i'll miss the bus. and (mostly) everyone~~

this year went by kind of quickly for me. while we were actually IN school, it seemed like it was really slow, but now that i look back on it, it passed quickly. wow... in a little over 3 months i'll be a sophomore... it's kind of scary. o_o;

i feel so different than at the beginning of the year. about a lot of things really. like my perspective on the teachers at CAMS (*cough cough*)... i remember that list i made back at the beginning of the year. that was so~~~ wrong. "mr jett is my favorite teacher so far"?? i can't believe i said that... haha.

at the beginning of the year i looked around the classroom and decided who would probably talk to me and who would probably never talk to me. but as it turns out, the people who i thought would never talk to me are some of my closest friends at CAMS.... like the asian crew for example. i thought "oh they would never want to be friends with someone like me" for various reasons, but now i hang out with them a lot~

and i think i've developed a fear of dating or something, since brad turned out to be a stalker-ish person. and considering the guy who liked me before that was also a stalker, i think it traumatized me or something... not to mention that story about the guy and his sister who were murdered by her ex-boyfriend.

so due to my boyfriend-phobic existence, i think i'll win that bet with lynda, regardless of what madonna says. even if there IS an incredibly hot gackt-clone-but-younger guy... would i turn him down? quite possibly. XDDDDDD

but overall, i guess it was fun.... next year is supposedly painful though... o_O;

the sophomores told me about THEIR IDP and it seems so... hard. more about it later i guess..

as for today:

went swimming with alyssa. and unfortunately, i got a tan. T______T eh, well my dad told me a little about this cream that makes you look paler, so i'll definitely look into that.

being underwater is so nice... especially in a next-to-empty pool. it's like everything is gone, and all that exists is you and the water (and maybe the sun). i didn't even want to come up for air when i had to, because i liked the feeling so much. drowning would be an interesting way to die, i guess. probably painful still, but hopefully if you DID drown you could die with that feeling... it's such a nice feeling. i want to go swimming again. XD

well that's all for today i think. twyl

lynda and i were making bets about who would remain boyfriend-less longer, me or her. we both bet on ourselves... but madonna says we're BOTH going to loose~! here's her story about me and some hot nihonjin XD ((i've replaced my name.. with sou-chan. because people still call me that irl. XD))

***

i think .. that you will BOTH LOSE THE BET! because you both will find amazing new guys. here's a little story on how YOU, yes you, will find your true love

One faithful day a young adolescent girl by the name of Sou-chan goes with her family on a cruise to Alaska. (Yes, those expensive 7-day cruises). While her family is waiting to get on board, Sou-chan spots a ridiculously good looking Japanese guy. Oh my gahh, her heart started pounding furiously! The guy was like a younger, cuter version of Gackt! Oh the hotnessssss ... "Sou-chan, hurry up! We're getting on the cruise now, " calls Sou-chan's mother. Sou-chan is saddened that her precious moments staring that the very good-looking man were being taken away so quickly! "Sigh, " says Sou-chan, hoping that she would be able to see him again. So finally she gets on the cruise. Everything is fantastic! The room, the food, the overall atmosphere of the place. Yet she is still sad that her lover is nowhere in sight. So dinner comes along, and the food she eats is great. Dude, they give you so much to eat! You could gain 5648698 pounds with all that junk. But anyway, while Sou-chan was eating her bread, the nihonjin passed by. WHEN SOU-CHAN HAD BREAD IN HER MOUTH! mwahaha .. But the guy smiled and flashed his pearly whites, while Sou-chan just sat there and blushed. She went alone out to the front of the ship to stare at the beautiful ocean behind her. "Sighhh. When can I see him again?" And like an answer from the gods (or God, iunno, plural just sounded cooler), the hot hunk of a man comes up behind her and taps her on the shoulder and says "Hey .. I noticed you around and I think I have fallen madly in love with you. *blush blush* WILL YOU MARRY ME SOU-CHAN?!" .. and Sou-chan bluntly responds, "How did you know my name?" -__-; And that was the start of a beautiful relationship. Oh, and as for Lynda .. at the exact time you and Mr. Hunkafine hooked up, Lynda called saying that she, too, had found a man. SO YOU BOTH LOST! MWAHAHHAHA


***

wow, i get to have a younger, CUTER (and maybe even hotter) version of gackt? haha. i'm so lucky. ...............cuter than gackt? o_o lol. and i could gain 5648698 pounds from the food there? >__>; but then if i gained all that weight, my cuter version of gackt wouldn't like me anymore~! T^T actually, if i gained all that weight i would die and not be able to be with my cuter version of gackt~

............XDDDDDDDDDD

sorry for the brief absence on myO. i will be back soon.

to keep you interested, i'll post up my recent oekaki.

i've been getting obsessed with neko's oekaki board. i've only made two but when i work on them i spend a lot of time on them... i wouldn't have to if i had a tablet. but i'm stuck with my mouse. so... yeah. it turns out pretty badly. but i still like making them. here's my latest picture. it's the vocalist of the JRock band "D". his name is asagi. and yes, asagi is a guy. (my family refuses to believe it though...)

yes, i know i should have colored it, or toned it, or shaded it, or do something to make it look less monochrome, boring, hard to see, etc. but i got lazy. and i know his hand looks stupid. but it's the best i can do with this mouse. and i know that his hat looks nothing like a hat. and that his face is uneven. and that you can't see his glasses. and that his hair is a mess. and that just in general, it's not great. but whatever... i'll repaint it or what not later.

i've run out of things to say. because reading what i do every day must be really boring. but since i don't have anything to talk about, i'll just say what i did... again.

engineering - near completion of rocket racer project. ming is going crazy... haha. i hope she doesn't take away our accountability points away.

math - eh.... really... simple. just inequalities. i wish we could do something challenging.

lunch - ate with the asian crew. brian wants me to go to game night this friday. realized there was a meeting every day at lunch this week for engineering so i ran to the engineering building only to find out "there's no meeting" from vivek. so i went back. and then ming came back and i asked her and she was like "there was no meeting. but you should have come anyway." o_O;

health - started sex ed. gilroy's really... enthusiastic i guess you could say. o_o;;

japanese - didn't really do anything. test pushed to monday.

after school - engineering rocket project meeting. waited in line for half an hour only to find that i did what i was doing incorrectly and had to start over.

meanwhile - new Pura single will be out soon. and their new layout for the website is so cool. i want their t-shirt... and all their other merchandise. i heard a rumor going around that Ryuutarou is married? *shrug* i heard once that in an interview that he didn't plan on marrying. but if he is, then i'm happy for him. i don't want to be one of those people who freak out and hate the jrocker's wife. because just because they're famous, it doesn't mean they can't be happy. if ryuutarou wants to be married, then that's his choice. and the fans (or should I say fangirls?) should accept that.

also - new laruku album will be out soon. NEW WORLD and Killing Me will be on it... i want it really badly. hopefully tofurecords will release it so i don't have to pay $40.
