Hi peoples! It's been...9 or 10 weeks since I've been here! Oh my gosh! THAT LONG?! Yes, that long! I've missed you guys! It's Spring Break for me, and I can finally post, away from all the franticness of my life...
I really do miss you guys... And I'm about to burst out crying.
You guys are probably wondering... "If you missed us so much, why didn't you come back?!" I guess it was because I wanted to leave MyOtaku for so long, and I thought I could forget about it... But you guys will always be part of me.
Okay! Enough tears! Let's move on! (Upbeat, aren't I?)
So...what has my life been ever since I've left? Let's see...
1. We've had two fires at our school, both on the same day. (That equals up to an equal of seven this whole year!) It was on the Friday the week I left, I think.
2. A bi boy had taken liking to me. Yes, it's weird, but he would always touch me and always pull me closer to him. (It was awkward.) Anyways, a little before February, he got his old boyfriend back (who happens to be a decade older than him?!) and forgot all about me... Eh, it's for the best. But he forgot ALL about me! I mean, okay, you have a boyfriend now, but I'm your friend! You can't just drop me off like that! (Or...unless you only liked me because you wanted me to be your boyfriend?!)
He even said, the week I left, "I wish Travis were gay..." (Weird wish. *laughs*)
What else...
3. Karen and me finished our Science Fair project! I gave a good presentation, and we did pretty well! But my friends, Christina and Kevin, made city, then state! I WAS SO EXCITED, until Christina was disqualified because her giant pastel picture got smudged. WHAT A HORRIBLE WAY TO GET DISQUALIFIED. And she won first place! (Her project was making an alternative fuel source from biomass--er, it was a biodiesel.)
Kevin's project was taking hydrochloric acid (yes dearies, the same acid that can melt through your flesh!) and harvesting hydrogen from it to create an alternative fuel source.
Shoot...our (Karen and I!) project was grafting plants. Christina said we could've done something like...grafting plants to make plants grow in very dry areas to grow food. (Shoot, we should've done something like that!!!!)
Rehman's project was about defying the laws of physics and time. It was VERY interesting.
4. Culture Week was so fun! All of us wore our cultural clothes! It took me about a week, but I found Chinese clothing. (I was intentionally looking for Viet clothing.) WE PRACTICALLY searched all of Chinatown! No place sold ao dais. We went into an old lady's house, and I liked ONE of them, but it was $100... We found a Chinese one at Hong Kong Mall though...where I found a group of Asian kids break-dancing to "Dragostea Din Tei", or also known as "Numa Numa"... Hehe.
Risham wore a depta and traditional Indian clothing! (Or is he Paki?!) And so did Kaushal...
Karen wore a hanbok, Korean clothing that used to belong to her grandmother, and Tiffany wore a kimono, even though she's not Japanese. And oh! Na Nhi had a REALLY nice one... It was a white ao dai, with a transparent white cloth over it, with patterns of roses on it. (White, red, green, and transparency. Great colors! Hehe!)
Right! Forgot to tell you!
5. Robotics meeting at CiCi's Pizza and LazerZone!
I came there, waiting for everyone, especially Akhil (calling him repeatedly!), who came after me (I was the first person!), and soon after, everyone came afterwards. Janice, Chi, and even Sue and Kathy came! (Sue wanted to kill people in laser tag!) Chi and Kathy had their Medical interviewing for internship next year...so they came late.
We ate pizza, and Travis and Austin High School came after, filling the restaurant with TONS of high school students. (It was their ROTC group!) I talked with Haley, and got to know more about our ROTC group. We're Army!
Angel was there too!
After that, we all went to LazerZone, right beside CiCi's, and we waited a LONG time for our game. I saw Michael, who was with his friends! We eventually got to play laser tag (after air hockey and other games--it didn't have a lot of arcade games) and guess what? I couldn't breathe! (I was wearing "tight" pants and wearing a turtleneck shirt, with a gold chain choking my neck!!!) Ahh...I got lost when everyone left. (Apparently, everyone had left.) I tore the left knee area of my jeans! (NOOO! I was crawling too much while playing!!!) Even now to this day, my left knee hurts from that game.
Did I mention I made last place? Yup, 33rd place!
We played a second game, and this time, we had teams! I played with James, and we covered each other's backs! This game, I managed to make better shots, but didn't shoot enough people! Therefore, this time I made second to last place! (Out of 44 people, I think...)
Anyways, lots of people left already, and I decided to go home... My sister had cut her hair! (OMGWTF?!?! EMO WANNABE!!!) Her hair was short, in a bowl-like shape. EW. My dad loved it so much (EW!!!) to the point where my mom got her hair cut like that!!! UWAGH!!! (This was the Saturday before Culture Week, so ya know. Or two weeks, I forgot.)
6. Holi and the Saturday of volunteering at Barnes & Noble!
This was fun! Some of the Robotics Team volunteered to work at Barnes & Noble on Saturday...at First Colony Mall! (That was the first time I've been there!!!) Anyways, I was there first (even before the teachers!!!), and eventually, everyone else came. At first, we passed out bookmarks for the book "Lost and Found", which was written by an author who was signing books that day. (TURNS OUT, THAT AUTHOR IS ONE OF THE SCIENCE TEACHERS AT OUR SCHOOL!!!) I didn't know that! I was so busy talking to her about the book that I didn't realize it!!! (Chi told me...)
At first, Angel, Andreah', Ryan, and his mom were busy passing out vouchers for Barnes & Noble (we weren't allowed to pass them out in the store), but we were all so timid about where/who to pass them out to... WAH.
Umm...I met this nice Asian guy who offered me a T-Mobile plan. First nice person I've met so far! (Or was he being nice to make me talk to him?!?!)
Anyways, we went back to the store! Akhil came! But he had to leave for Holi, the Hindu festival of colors/spring!
And incidentally, when I was in Health on Thursday or Friday, one or two days before Holi, I asked, "Hey Akhil, do you know that Hindu festival where people throw colors at each other?" He replied, "Yeah, it's tomorrow." I just stared at him wide-eyed... I WANTED TO GO SO BAD THEN. (But he went to a private one.)
It's a festival that celebrates the spring. And it's like a joke day. Like April Fool's. To the extreme. Hindus are supposed to be strict with their religion, but this is one day where they can just play around and have fun. They throw colors on each other (dyes and powder) and such! It sounded so fun, that I thought Akhil might take me with him--so I wore all white that day. (To make the colors show!) But like I said, it was a private one.
Anyways, some of us got hungry, so Janice, Chi, Andreah', and I went to the food court! Andreah' got ice cream, I got a smoothie ($4?!), and Janice and Chi got Chinese food. Problem was, the restaurant there mixed up EVERYONE'S orders, so people got angry. They should be happy that Chi and Janice are lenient. (GRR.)
We met up with a lot of the HOSA people! They just got back from competition, and were taking a break in the mall! Vanessa, Paul, Shanna, Mac, Stephanie, Reba, Teena, and lots more!
Ahh...it was nice meeting everyone.
But we had to go back to work. OH!!! That...famous engineering guy came to sign books! He also had a press conference, which aired on the radio. He had sensitivity to flashing cameras though, and after some people took pictures, he told them to politely stop. One of his eyes were still twitching after that.
I was walking with Angel, and we met up with Anita, Arianne, Humza, and Kevin! We lost them though...and then I found Raul (with his pinstripe fedora hat!) with his little brother, Ricky! Then we met up with Laticia, her sister Amanda (who I was talking to on the phone earlier, thinking it was Laticia--she called Angel a flying monkey! Hah!) and her boyfriend, Chris...and George! (No, not the gay one... The um...half-white one with glasses!) We all walked around. First, Victoria's Secret (I didn't enter! Angel, me, Raul, and Ricky stayed out... Ricky's too young!) Then we went to Build-A-Bear Workshop, where I told George and Laticia that Hello Kitty's a boy. (George thinks Hello Kitty's a faggot now!)
Whatt....else...?
Ah! We went into the food court where they ordered McDonalds and I finished Laticia's fruit salad! (I'm WEIRD!) We met up with Ariel later on, and went dress-shopping with her!
Ariel and me were walking FAST in the mall, and Laticia, George, and...someone else were walking so slow! So we were doing the slow-walk (me and Ariel), walking in seemingly slow motion, while passerbys walked passed us, staring. And one guy said, "Nice dance moves!" *laughs* (By the way, we made it to the store slow walking... They never did catch up with us, even with us walking SUPER FAST.)
I eventually had to leave to go back to "work". Angel and me ran around the mall (GAH! IT'S SO BIG!!!) passing out more vouchers...
Ahh...my parents eventually came, and I told them to go shopping while I "worked". Ah...one of the store workers (she's not the manager...co-manager???) came to talk with us, saying that we did a good job, but we needed to stop passing the vouchers out because her superior was there, and she didn't want him to see us being caught with them.
We eventually took a break...and Marcus came! Somewhen!
Did I tell you that I saw Ashley, Samantha, and their brother/boyfriend there too? They were shopping!
(OH GOD! SO MANY PEOPLE GO TO FIRST COLONY MALL!!! Even people who live, like, an hour away from there!!!)
I eventually went home...and Diana went to go buy NX Cash... $25. My parents ended up yelling at us, and etc.
Oh, I picked up "Great Expectations" for school!
7. Week before Spring Break!
What happened...? I DON'T REMEMBER.
But on Spring Break, me and Benson got stuck in the school because Mariah told us (Akhil told Benson) there was a Halo tournament on Friday! IT WAS CANCELLED! GAH. Anyways, before I met up with Benson, I walked around with Laticia and Angel. I met new people from Band! BUT OH MY GOSH! A girl named Samantha was walking across Fort Bend Tollway (a highway)!!! People were being frantic, asking if anyone could borrow their car (to pick her up). Later, they came back and I found out: Samantha...the sister of my friend Ashley! (The girl I saw at First Colony Mall?) YES! She and her friend were DRUNK!!! (You could tell!) Samantha got drunk, and got all her sense! GWAH!
Laticia left before that, but Amanda didn't. (I found out they're not really sisters!) Angel left soon too, and I met his parents.
So...me...wandering around the school. I messaged Domonique (Dominique's girlfriend that moved in the summer!), because I hadn't talked to her in three months. (I was looking around my cell phone, and I spotted her name. So for old time's sake, I texted her.)
I eventually met up with Benson! GAH!!! He was still there! We were waiting for our ride, and we yelled at Akhil on our phone. Oh yeah! I told him I knew Malayalam! (I found out he was Malayali!) I looked through my backpack for the folder I keep with all my drawings and language learning papers--it wasn't there! I ran back to my Speech class...
The fire alarm went off FOUR times when I was in there!!!
Thank goodness my teacher was there! I picked it up, and ran back out! (I met five girls in the hallway, and when they saw me, they start singing a capello to me--it was a love song. *sweats*)
Benson wasn't there when I came back. I thought he had left. But nope, he was just walking around the school.
My dad came to pick me up...
La la la!
8. Braces...BYE!!!
YES! I went to the orthodontist at 8 AM Saturday, and they took off my braces! Now I have to wear a retainer! Oh...and I have a cavity, so I need to get that fixed later.
Hmm...my gums started bleeding during the chipping-off of the glue!!! (My bottom front teeth are SENSITIVE...) GAH. It was painful, but I took the pain. One of the assistants said if he (the orthodontist) should stop because it was bleeding, but he said...something. I think he said. "He deserves it for not brushing well." Or maybe that was my imagination.
After that, I went to Nickkie's house, where later, Sobia, Vy and Huy, Alex, Melinda, and Sue came. We ate pizza, and discussed religion, mainly me and Sobia. Ahh...it was fun. (But we originally came for tennis!)
Now I have an idea! The week I come back from Spring Break, I'm gonna wear an original outfit I made during the break! (All thanks to Sobia's idea!)
We played tennis together, with me crazily swinging, hitting the ball too far... Hehe. Whitney (Sue's sister) came later, and played! But it got dark, so me and Alex (who came a lot later--was she stalking me?!) walked to Nickkie's house (I needed to get my bike!), and parted ways. While we were walking through the bayou, we saw the strangest bird. A...dark crane with a backwards S/Z flying... It looked so lonely in the sunset.
Uhhh...Sunday. I went to Vu's church, but he wasn't there! I saw NA NHI there!!! And two more kids from Ngoi Loi Nhap The! Surprisingly, so many people from our church go to this church when there's no Youth Mass... Hehe.
My dad got angry at us because we took so long in Wal-Mart. I bought stuff for fabric!! I bought fabric markers ($9!) and a white cap! (I want a neon green cap!!!) And oh yeah! Spray paint for shirts. (This'll be cool...)
Anyways...the coloring of the hat FAILED. When the cap touched water, the coloring came off...DRASTICALLY. It went from a deep neon green to a...pale light green. (Redundant... Pale light... But that's exactly how it was.)
Anyways...returning those expensive markers later!!!
Monday... HUH. I made lunch! Chicken breast seasoned with so many things! It tasted GOOD, but...I should've let it marinade more longer! GWAH.
Now...must do laundry! I'm getting interested in learning Chinese now! (TRAVIS! You need to finish Spanish! Malayalam!!!)
Interesting fact: Ebonics counts as a foreign language credit in high school here. (There's a class in the district that you can go to to learn Ebonics!!! But not at our school.)
I want to finish my theme for MyOtaku, but I'm lazy.
Also, Daylight Savings Time has thrown me off whack. Like that time Annie came to play (Saturday?). She left around midnight. OOH.
I want to go swimming! BAI!!!
Guys...you MIGHT be seeing more of me. BEWARE SUPER-LONG POSTS!!! (This is an execption because I've been gone for two months!!!)
