Gosh darnit... MyOtaku is gonna ruin my sleeping habit. I was going to post earlier today, but the site had been down for quite a while, so I had to wait. And...here I am! Hiya!
My week had been pretty eventful! I wish I posted much more earlier, since I have so much to type, but I'll condense it, since I love you guys and I want to sleep like heck.
Last Saturday (um, the 20th?), I took the PSAT in the morning. I was so tired and I didn't feel like testing! In fact, I dozed off for part of the test! However, I did sit with Thi, Zach, and Chi. Yay!
Later on, after stopping with Zach to Kathy's house for lunch (sandwiches and raw onions and tomatoes???), I went to Oni-Con, the biggest con in Houston! It was so fun! I initially came with Kathy and Janice, but I went with Karen, Eric, and Janay. We acted as a chain (holding each other by the shoulders/arms), and went around, chasing a group of Naruto cosplayers for their "barrel." You see, if you were to get this barrel, you would get a special prize. Alas, we didn't win. (Our friend Nick betrayed us!!! BWARGH!)
I have no pictures, if you guys are asking.
I met the famous Joy! If you guys go on YouTube and look up "jacproductions," you'll see why I love 'em so! They're actually a famous cosplaying group in Houston, and they go to a school right next to me! I initially met her in the dealer's room, but I didn't realize who she was until I met her at her booth. Apparently, Zach knows her!!! *squeals*
She usually dresses up as Neji or some masculine anime character (from Naruto, Bleach, etc.), but at Oni-Con, she was a red-haired gothic lolita. It was so weird to see your idol dressed as her usual self!
She's a senior right now, and it's getting harder and harder for her to make videos. So, she's been on hiatus for a while. A year, I believe. Oh wow.
I saw Thinh and Natalie! Natalie grabbed and squeezed Karen, thinking it was Diana! BWAHAHA!!!
All right, let's skip to the cosplay event parts. At first, the group and I sat on a bunch of stairs to take a rest. I met a ton of my old friends and made a bunch of new ones! There was also this girl from San Antonio who was crying because the cosplay would go on until 7 PM and she couldn't make it. So, Eric, being the nice guy, decided to record it for her. Awww... So sweet. (I never knew if he did record it for her or not though.)
Oh yeah. I kept hitting on Eric that entire time there. It cost me in the end. Around 6 or 7 PM, while we were in line for the cosplay show (Ashley and James were gonna be in it!), I made a "move" on Eric, and all the girls around us (actually, Karen, Janay, Amy, Celeste, etc.) started squealing and told us to do yaoi. I got scared and started running off. (It was a good thing I made friends with the "security" of the line: Whenever I ran away from them, the "security" people would let me get back in my place in the line.)
The five girls kept bribing us that if we we made out with each other, they would make out with us.
Well, after a bunch of crying, screaming, running away, and my shirt being pulled until one sleeve was longer than the other, we did it. Well, I did it. It was just a kiss on the cheek though. No big deal. Well, I thought that was the case until I found out Amy took a picture and ran around, showing random people the picture on her camera. (I was gonna kill her... Why didn't I?)
We did the S.O.S. Brigade in line. Actually, a group of girls did it: Jing-Yee, Sabrina, Janay, this one girl that did L (I think), and this big guy. It was awesome, and everyone started taking pictures.
We eventually did get to the cosplay show. However, I could only stay for the light show: I asked Karen and Eric to call Janice and Kathy and ask where they were. You see, I had promised to go home with them at 7 PM and well, it was around that time. 8, actually!
Oh yeah. I also left my phone at home. (And on the day of a con! For shame!)
I eventually did get home. On the way home, Kathy kept on talking about how she wanted to make a costume for the next con. Maybe. Just maybe.
The next day, we went to Janice's church's Fall Festival! Great fun, actually! At the early beginning, Janice had to go sing since she was part of the choir. Church was just lovely. It had been a long time since I had been to a mass in English, and in that language, I believe, is when mass is the most beautiful. Well, I was participating so greatly in mass, that, at the end, the woman on the right put her arm around me and told me, "It's so refreshing to see a young person participating in mass." That me feel great, yeah.
We didn't do much work, Janice and I. We ate. A lot. Nickkie, Vy, Sue, Sobia, and Alex were there too. Janice and I... We ate brownies, cupcakes, cotton candy, Filipino food, and two giant plates of funnel cakes. Agh! We were so full! We did work in the end though: We helped put up some merchandise and tents.
There was one booth that caught my eye: Rocks and stones from different parts of the world. They were all so different: polished, raw, metallic, crystal, ancient... It just brought back the geologist in me.
My brother drove me home that day. You know, I was crying the entire way home. Hehe.
Now, onto school days! Gabriel was being gay since he heard about the thing that happened during Oni-Con. He grabbed both of us and gave us a long, long, long hug. All the girls (and a guy) took out their phones/cameras and started snapping pictures of us. Bwahhhh!
I had to sew a mascot for Robotics. I only had, maybe, two or three days to finish it. Needless to say, I didn't finish it at all. My parents were fighting on how I should sew it to the point where I wanted to rip out my own hair. Ughhhh... I couldn't get anything done with them screaming at one another.
My brother's birthday was on Thursday! On Wednesday's night, as we went to get material to make the mascot for Robotics, I met my 8th grade bus driver! She works in the bakery of the local Wal-Mart, and we chatted with her for a while, and then ordered our cake. The day after, my mom was angry. When my mom was ordering pizza, the people who were working there were complaining that they couldn't understand what she was talking about. She just hung up and ended up screaming at us.
My brother didn't enjoy the cake. He wanted a Wii for his birthday and started sulking when we asked him to cut the cake. He ate, maybe, three or four bites and then went upstairs to play on the computer. Oy.
Now, the good ol' days. Saturday. And Sunday.
In the morning, Kai came to pick me up so we could go to an Alzheimer's walk at a theater close by our school. It was really funny, helping out with all the festivities and walking! Actually, we just handed out water and took apart the tables and tents! But it was great!
It was funny: Everyone at the walk kept thinking that Kai and me were a gay couple. I couldn't help but overhear tons of people saying it. Old people, young people, people from our school. Did we really look like a couple?! Kai said that the tote bag that I was holding looked like a purse, so that could've been a reason. (It was a teacher's bag!!!)
It was kind of funny how they kept referring to us. Remarks like, "Ooh, gay..." or "I wonder if they're going to hold hands" kept whispering around us. I also heard, "I've never seen Asians dress like that before." It was a compliment, and a little change from the other remarks.
Oh yeah. While we were handing out water with Tiffany and a bunch of other girls, Izien and Puji (they were walking) took pictures of me and Kai with our arms with one another. I wonder where that picture will end up. Eep.
We made new friends, yup yup! Jackie was our first new friend, and believe it or not, while I took World History with Tiffany for almost two months now, I never learned her name! So sad. I met Lily, who gave me a new nickname: "Nigguhyen." It was "too hard" for her to pronounce my last name, so that's what she calls me now. Bwahaha. (You can probably guess my last name now, eh?)
Maggie gave me and Kai a look as if I were a gay couple. No matter whenever we were together, she would look at us. It was...awkward.
They were so amazed with my ability to speak several languages. Awesome.
There were also falling yellow leaves. Romantic.
After all that, Kai and I headed to a pho restaurant. We ate, and started driving to Robotics competition.
When we got there, our team was ready to go eat lunch! (We just had it!) We sat by a bridge that led between a bayou and ate sandwiches and drank soda. It was pretty peaceful and I think we had fun. However, many of the students wanted to explore the bayou, which was, well, dirty with sewage and garbage. Ew.
We screamed our hearts out at the competition. I can pretty much say that we were the most spirited people there! We made a pyramid of people (I was on top once!) with the help of Kai's idea. Waving flags, cheering for your team: it's an awesome feeling.
One of the all-girl (or mostly girls) teams bought pizza and soda for everyone and we ate all of it. Yum.
Kai was quiet for the entire time. I constantly took Catherine's teddy bear and made it hug Kai.
However, it hit me really hard when we didn't win that many trophies. Heck, we didn't even win a trophy for "Most Spirited"! We get get a trophy for "Best Sportsmanship," however.
In our sadness, everyone drowned out their sadness by eating ice cream. We went into the cafeteria, which was renovated to be a Robotics pit. One time, when I put my dollar into the ice cream machine, this guy unplugged the machine so he could plug in his drill! GARGH! I lost a dollar! It was all fine in the end though: he gave me a dollar back. Yay.
We all decided to go eat at a restaurant called "Sweet Mesquite." However, Nam wanted to come and ride with us. I told him it wasn't a good idea, since he came with the bus and should stay on the bus.
Oh yeah. The most stupidest thing happened! When we were in the road, Kai tried to cut our Robotics teacher off! We got scolded at the restaurant and it made me feel really bad. Kai and Nam told me not to feel bad since I didn't do anything, but I couldn't help but feel guilty, ya know?
We got lost on the highway too. Nam's an idiot with directions. I don't want to ride with him in a car anymore!
We eventually did get to the restaurant. The food sucked. My onion rings tasted like fried flour. The atmosphere made me even more depressed. It was an old-style Texan-Mexican pub with neon lights. Really depressing. The other guys just played video games, so Kai, Janice, and I just talked to one another. Janice discussed wanting to kill people to get into the top ranking of her class. Crazy li'l psycho. In fact, that's her new nickname now: "Crazy Li'l Psycho."
Kai drove me home, and I went inside, showered, and slept.
I went to church the next day, and I even felt depressed during church. It wasn't until I talked with some of my old friends from church (Dung and another guy!) until I felt better. We went grocery shopping for lunch, and I did a little bit of homework.
Around 4-5 PM, I biked to HBMS, and I played tennis with Janice and Nickkie. Alex, Sue, Tomas, and Tiffany (Chinese one) were also there too! Alex and Janice had to go to church later, and so did Tomas, but Kai eventually came over.
Then, all of a sudden, I see my dad and brother jogging by the tennis courts! They were going exercising! They interrupted the tennis game between me and Kai! As usual, Kai was making gay remarks. My brother just plainly asked, "Is he bi?" Sue left later too. Also, by then, my brother and dad left to go home. So, Kai and I went to go play tennis with Nickkie and Tiffany.
Kathy and Maureen came WAY later! We kept on playing tennis until the mosquitoes buzzed around, until the sun went down, until we couldn't see the balls anymore. (Shoot, I need something that rhymes with "down"!)
Other stuff... Kai jokingly tried to attempt to "jab" his tennis racket into my stomach. Tiffany kept on saying "sorry" when she didn't need to, so I told her to say "hot dog" instead. Before the sun went down, a guy came to play tennis with us. The weird thing was, he was holding a camera with him, inconspiciously. Huh. Pedo?
Kai offered to drive me home since I had to bike home, but I decided just to call my dad. He picked me up, bought some car parts, and then we went home.
I showered, ate some shark fin soup (five servings!), and then I proceeded on to doing homework and laundry.
The most amazingest thing happened today! When I logged onto AIM, I saw something that just made me smile like heck: Kai unblocked me! YAY! You may think it's weird, but last year, he blocked me from AIM because he thought I was annoying. Well, I guess that phase is over! Yay!!!
I should be heading to sleep now. School's tomorrow. Good night all!
