Our Routine Didn't Go Out So Well...
Time of Post: 6:00 PM CST
Hello guys! Hehe, I don't know what to talk about today... Eh, I'll just try to remember, so eh...
Well, I guess I'll talk about yesterday first. GRR, my parents make me mad.
(I'll insert this during my homework night time...)
My parents and I were chatting about my Science teacher and his misconception about the Vietnamese culture... Anyways, somehow, we started to talk about Mexico. I don't know why, but I think it had to do about we watching the Vietnamese news channel, and it talking about Mexico. ^^;; Well, guess what my dad said?! He called all Mexicans stupid! (That's just racist!) And then my mom went about it too... She talked about how there was a higher percentage of more dumb Mexicans than there was Vietnamese people... (Like saying Mexicans have been here for a long time, but Vietnamese have more business... -_-;;)
I called my parents racist, and my dad poked me on the head angrily and called ME "STUPID" because I didn't agree with them!!! Then my mom said that she wasn't being racist, but stating the TRUTH... o_O! My parents were tired of arguing with me and said that I was "too young to understand what they were talking about"... Oh racism... OF COURSE I UNDERSTAND IT. (And how horrible it is!! GRR, I hate my parents when it comes to that.)
I also hate my parents for this... I wanted to use the computer to do my homework... But my sister locked the door going to the computer room. And she wouldn't open to let me in. So my dad yelled at her to open the door, and she opened it angrily and yelled at her. Then she slapped her, and pushed her, and grabbed at her hair angrily and yanked her hair so hardly , and slapped her... (Poor Diana! Why does my dad always do this to her?!) She was breathing hard, her face red, and she was crying, and screaming... (When my dad hears someone crying, he'll slap them/beat them up to make them shut up...) So my dad just yelled at her, and she went to her room crying... I SWEAR MY DAD'S SO VIOLENT...AND ABUSIVE... GRR.
My mom went up around 11 PM to ask what was going on, and she went to go talk to my sister, and said it was my SISTER'S FAULT for not listening to her dad... o_O?! Then she asked me to go get Diana a glass of water...
Well, when I was online, I was just talking to Chi, who was doing homework, and I just went Yahoo! searching on the word "racism" and "Vietnamese", and there came up something about Cambodian and Vietnamese people killing each other because of their government stuff? Weird...
When I first woke up today, I got ready for school. (I also remembered that we had to wear white for our dance routine, so yeah. White shirt, black jeans, nothing special.)
Hehe, when I first entered school, I went up to Angela and asked if Sunday school last week was the last day... No, it's not... She said she thinks it's next week...or next next week, something like that. Jereme and Chloe saw us talking to each other, and was so surprised. She said "You two know each other?" I told her we went to the same church... She was like "I didn't know you two knew each other..."
In Science, we talked about random stuff, and there was one part, where the teacher mistakened Thailand and Taiwan. (Taiwan's the island, not Thailand! Thailand's in the mainland! XP) Oh yeah... We also kept talking about "Finding Nemo", since we're currently learning about the ocean... Some people suggested the teacher watched it, and Amy said that he could watch it on Disney Channel on Friday. (He doesn't get those channels though. ^^;;) And then someone said "It's like you to know when it comes on..." ^^;;
Hehe... "Where do you live?" "Ane-mo-ne-ne-mo-ne." XP
Also, we had to draw a graph of the ocean floor and label it. I drew an angler fish, and people described it as the "ugly fish with a light" from "Finding Nemo"... o_O;;
In Social Studies, we were all doing copying down information from a database that we all compiled a few days ago (some are horrible, and I realized one thing in the data I inputed was incorrect. I forgot to capitalize an abbreviation of a name... ^^;;) Well, in the Computer Lab, Kinjal said "I can't stand people who use sarcasm. I think it's hard to tell if they're telling the truth or being sarcastic." Then our Social Studies teacher said "Well, you're just stupid." Then Kinjal said "You know what? You're not a loser. You're not cool at all." (They were joking with each other, so you know.) Later, the same thing happened with Anna. Anna said "Kinjal's right. You ARE a loser." (^^;;)
In Algebra, we learned about interest rates, and I learned that if your interest goes up quarterly or monthly, then it's better than it going annually or semiannually.
Well, I was walking with Nikitha before Health class, and she was holding a cap, and she wanted to see what I looked like with it... (I said it didn't fit, but she told me to change the size of the cap at the back. XP) I saw the cap, and it had spray-paint with the words "DJ Xavier" or something like that, with a bluish color. (Ooh, Kirsten has a white beanie hat like that she got at the fair in Beaumont!)
Okay, this was it. The dance routine. At first, we all headed to the boy's gym, but we weren't supposed to go there yet, so the coach told us to come back in and practice. Well, the girls met us in our boy's Health room. (Shan was so surprised at how our desks were aligned, and she said it was ugly. They were moved so we could practice our dance routine... ^^;;)
So Mariah and I practiced our "Lose My Breath" dance routine, and I think I got it right. But Mariah said, "When you do this, I want you to have some feeling, some compassion, you know?" (It's "passion", and she started showing me. XP)
Nikitha (Hehe, I've been spelling it as "Nikita" this whole time! XP) was practicing her "Temperature" dance routine, and Mariah and I were watching, and she started to free-style, and we still kept watching her, and I guess she became embarrassed because we were watching her? (Still, it was good. XP)
I kinda started doing some footwork, and Nikitha was smiling, and she said I was trying to do some kind of dance move... (Um, I don't even know what I was doing. XP)
I was also copying what Tien and Mohammad were doing... Hehe, it was fun, and it was kinda like a one-two-step kinda thing... (What am I saying??? @_@?)
Then somehow, I think, Mark and Nikitha got into a little fight or something, and the coach told them to stop, and Nikitha said it was "krunklicious" or "krunktastic"... (Hehe... ^^;;) I've heard "ghettoliciousness", but not that. XP
Okay, when we all headed to the gym, none of us actually did anything. I mean, some people were jump roping, and I did a little bit, and Erik and Andrew were swinging them around... ^^;; But really, we weren't doing anything... Aleesha and Shan felt like they were gonna get embarrassed, and you know, they just kinda wanted to quit on the spot and wished they had never come to school today. And THEN, Aleesha and Shan changed the routine right on the spot!!! (What...?) So yeah, it threw me off a bit. I talked with Yvonne for a bit. (she was wearing a striped tie for some reason... o_O)
Also, when I first entered the gym, I started to spin around a lot... O'Shane just smile and said "Travis's getting getting ready to dance!" (Or something like that. I was just spinning around... o_O;;)
Well, their group was first. (Vyonne said they kinda knew that they had to go first, but they pretended that they didn't.) Um, I went to the middle to get a better view of them doing their routine, but Shan pulled me back so we could discuss the routine a bit more...
Well, their routine was okay, but they stopped in the middle, and it cost them their grade... o_O;; (I was like, the only one clapping???)
Okay, so Shan was explaining the details to us, and she got aggravated with Andrew because he wasn't listening to her directions, and she said she was about to walk over there and slap him in his face. (Or was it punch him??? Can't remember.)
Well, so we were confused at the first part, and we got jump ropes out... So we all got into position, and Fareed was yelling something out to me... (I couldn't remember what he said...)
Well, "Temperature" was first, and it was all right, but it tired us out... The routine was simple, and we added jumping jacks... ^^;; (Another group, Fareed's group said that we were stealing their idea... No way! They were stealing ours!)
Um, what else... Jump ropes, that didn't go so well... And then there were was running... (Gah, it made us so tired... Some of us, including me, stopped.
Huh, Fareed, from out of the audience, called Mark a g@y dancer... o_O;; Also, before the jump ropes, Aleesha asked me to move to the front of the group so that there was at least one guy in the front. (But still! @_@)
We all met together at the circle, and the song that goes like "Booty, booty, booty, booty, booty everywhere!" starts. (Can't remember the name!!! GRR!!!) Well, we all went into a circle and there was Aleesha and Shan in the middle, dancing, shaking their butts... (No one was really watching by then.) And basically, me and some other people were tilting our hands/fingers... It was like a rave-thing, I guess... Then Nikitha got into the middle, and started doing something... (They later pushed me in, but I didn't do anything... Like I said, this was last minute planning.)
GRR, we didn't get any applause... And they didn't even play "Lose My Breath"! (I was rehearsing for that song basically.)
So while the third group was doing their routine, I sat with Vyonne, looked at her CDs and some of her pictures... Andrew was right beside her, and asking if he could borrow her Gorrilaz CD. XP
Oh yeah... When I was kinda about to leave the gym, Raphael tells me, "I like the way you dance Travis..." (In a low, shy kinda-of voice. Hehe, what nice compliment, but our routine was HORRIBLE.) And it's weird. Raphael's not the shy, quiet-kind of person, although he's like that if he has no one to talk to sometimes... Eh.
Well, the bell rang, and we all headed out to lunch! I sat by that guy again... I can't remember his name, but he's always asking me on advice on how to draw anime/manga... Well, for Science, he has to do this project on the immune system...in comic-book style. Hehe. (His friend was about a bacteria taking over the immune system or something?)
Oh yeah, when I was in line, Precious pointed at my shoes and said something, but I didn't know what she said, until she said "Never mind. I thought there was a fly on your shoe." (There was a fly flying around then... It also landed on that guy who wanted anime tips. XP)
Well, when I was eating, I found out I wasn't supposed to be sitting where I was... Hum. Well, some guys were lazy and asked the teacher to get them ketchup and when she didn't, she called her a "b!tch"... I swear, kids and their profanity...
I was kinda listening to them talking... The group at the top-right corner of me (this was structured lunch, so you know) talking about something... This boy was talking about how these people were accusing him of dating this girl because he only dated her for her money. He said it was TRUE, but he didn't want other people to find out...
THAT IS SO STUPID. I HATE PEOPLE LIKE THAT. Not hate, actually, but I think it's dumb, dating people for money, for popularity, etc. GRR.
I told him, "That's not a good relationship..." but he ignored what I said.
In Art, I sat with Paulisha and Melissa and Melissa was still carrying Osito, her little Mexican red bear! Hehe, she was carrying it on her shoulder (like those shoulder angels/devils) and one of her teachers said it was distracting to the learning process... -_-;; (Her teacher also said only kindergardeners carry around stuffed animals. Not true. Also, since Cinco de Mayo is coming up, she's carrying around that bear too!)
I told Melissa about the racist stuff my parents said about Mexican people yesterday... She said "Yeah, Mexican people are stupid." (My expression was like: o_O!!! You see, Melissa IS MEXICAN. So I wondered why she would say something like that...) Maybe she was being sarcastic... I dunno. @_@ She also added that you have to respect your parents, but don't always trust or listen to everything they say. (That's true...)
Well, Paulisha and Josue were flinging water at each other through their large paintbrushes, and water fell onto my shirt!!! GRR! Well, at least it's only pale gray on my shirt... ^^;;
Hehe, Melissa and Paulisha were fake-fighting again, and they kept saying "You're stupid!" or "No, you're stupid!", and for stupid fun, I added "I'm more beautiful for you...", and Melissa said "Shut up, you're not beautiful." Hehe XP We were being mean to each other, but it was fun... XP
Oh yeah, I'm working on my tropical island paradise watercolor picture... I've only finished the sand...except it doesn't look like sand. o_O (I need sea salt!!!)
In English, we read more of "The Giver", and it was okay, I guess. The teacher handed me my story back, and she said everything's good, but I need to change one thing in the story, and then she'll be able to publish it. (She thought it was a typo, heh. XP)
Oh yeah! She was also reading the commentaries at the end of "The Giver", and Lois Lowry used to live in Japan!!! Hehe, when the teacher tried to say the Japanese words, it sounded funny. Here:
Word: Shibuya (It's a district in Tokyo, Japan)
Teacher Said: Shuh-boo-ya (she stretched out the syllables)
Real Pronounciation: Shee-boo-ya
Word: Kirai-des (It means, "I hate you", kinda)
Teacher Said: Kee-ray-dees
Real Pronounciation: Kee-rai-dehs
Word: Kirei-des (It means, "You're pretty")
Teacher Said: Kee-rai-dees
Real Pronounciation: Kee-ray-dehs
Hehe, and there was another part she didn't want to bother saying was "Watashi-no tomodachi des" which means "Greetings, my friend". I had to say it for her, and she made it say it louder two or three times. XP
Then when she tried to say it, she said:
"Wa-tah-shi no toh-moh-da-chi des"... Hehe. (I didn't correct any of them except for the Japanese sentence above... ^^;;)
Well, Raven got sent out of the room because she was yelling something about Elizabeth or smart-allecking the teacher... So she was sent out... Laura said she's cool, but when Raven gets mad, she's just... (I think Elizabeth also got sent out too.)
Goldie was crying in ELA... Mr. Ebunilo yelled at her during class, and she was crying about it... Poor her. I tried comforting her before class, and during transition. (Ya know, my Algebra teacher makes a lot of people cry. Goldie, Anna, etc.)
Okay, so about five minutes before school ended, we didn't want to work on our work, so Bao started saying "If Raven and Elizabeth were in a fight, who do you think would win?" A lot of people raised their hands for Raven!!! XP Oh yeah... When people were whining about school work, the teacher said that they sound more ornery than her pet donkey, Violet. (Tia said, "Who keeps a donkey as a pet?" Or was that Angelie?)
Also, Jonathan wasn't talking during class... He was eating a cookie, and Bao stuck the whole thing, plastic bag and cookie, through his mouth... (Kinda like how Hong used to try to feed me! XP)
Well, when I was walking through the English hallway, I saw Andrew/Sai talking to a teacher and pointing to someone in the hallway... o_O;;
Well, I sat on the bus, and that guy still told me to get out of his seat. I gotta stop sitting there, but I forget. o_O;;
Instead, I sat behind J.J., Alexis, and Michael's seat, and they were watching "Kingdom Hearts II" music videos... Ooh, so interesting... Some were cutty-looking and not that great...
So after J.J. and Michael got off the bus, Alexis and I...KIND-OF talked to each other... It was quiet, and I was so tired... She tried stabbing my eye with a mechanical pencil...kinda. (It touched my glasses though. XP) She slowly pushed the mechanical pencil lead towards my glasses, and when it hit my glasses, she went "DAMN!" ^^;; (Well, we hugged, and she left.) I was about to get off at her stop so I could walk home then though... o_O
Um, my brother went to go shopping with my parents because in the weekend, he has to go to a retreat, and we have the whole house to ourselves! WELL, except that we have to go come with our mom, who's gonna work at the retreat...
Hmm, I'm looking for a recipe for stuffing. And mushroom flavored foods... Why? Dunno.
I'm talking to Trangie too. And she's thinking about breaking up with Trangie... She says Rendy thinks the boys she used to like were "nerdy" (even though they weren't) and he's been prank-calling her since. (How immature and mean...)
Is he the jealous type? I don't know...
OOH! My sister's singing the old "Oh Ricky's Gone" song!!! Hehe, I haven't sung that song since I was in 4th grade!!! Hehe!!! XP (Now, I'm 8th. XP)
Well, talk to you later. I'll get on to edit some more of my essay, and I'll add more to my post...if I remember anything.
Bye!
