Start: 2:57 PM CST Hey hey everyone! Oh my gosh, I'm sorry I haven't posted! I've gone all downright crazy for not posting for SIX DAYS! I'm sure you guys don't wanna read it... You don't have to read it if you don't wanna. Just a comment would be all right. *smiles* I'm gonna try hard to make a sypnosis thing...EVEN THOUGH THAT'D BE REALLY HARD!!! Or you could just skim... Last Friday I can't remember what I did on Friday! (Actually, I did NOTHING.) Oh yeah! I spent most of the day on the computer and I talked to Chi! Oh, Chi was going home that day! Friday! I was so happy! She's finally gonna be home! (Now I know how Melinda feels with Nickkie...) Umm...Chi was out to kill Dai. Yup. Again. Lots of talking on the phone. (Hehe, talking from Houston to San Diego long distance? Uhhh...it was my house phone to cell phone... *sweat drops*) Chi went home 5 PM Pacific Time...I think. (GRR, CONVERSION OF TIME IS HARD!!! ESPECICALLY ON PLANE!!! Because when you ride on planes, it actually makes time "go faster"... You skip a lot of it.) Oh... Um. Alex went to Sue's house. I yelled at Nickkie to tell me where they went. (She thought they went to McDonald's! They went to Sue's house... Hehe.) I couldn't leave anyways... I didn't want to, and my mom said it was about to rain.) Last Saturday Oh yeah. We were planning to go to Hong Kong Mall, but I was like, "I want to sleeeeeeeeep..." (My mom and brother were going to the orthodontist's because Saturday was the day my brother got his braces off!!!) So yeah. I did get up...watch my sister play...and around 10-11 AM, they came home... I had already changed, but my brother wanted to stay home and watch his Saturday cartoons! *sweat drops* Well, before we reached Hong Kong Mall, we stopped by the gas station by the middle school. I got bored, so I talked with Chi, and she got home already. Apparently, she succeeded in killing Dai, and she went to Little Saigon (OOH! I WENT THERE!) in L.A. and that mall with the three Buddha statues and water fountain! (That place is SO PRETTY!!! They have a Hello Kitty store there! *laughs*) Chi said she's never seen so many Asian people in one area before and she and Dai heard some gay person talk. (Wait...what does that have to do with anything? ^^;;) Well, my mom and I went to Hong Kong Mall, and we stopped by PhõÒ Danh. We had some conversations, and many times did people try to take our cart. *laughs* (Hong Kong Mall is a mall, but there's also a market in there...) But really, all there was in the cart was newspaper. Two times she did it. One for a bald Vietnamese man, and the second time for a young woman. They were talking in Vietnamese about the girl's skin (she has a skin disease, almost like acne, but not quite) and I think she was watching a guy while he was eating phõÒ... Scary, eh? Like, she's stalking him? (Well, she likes him but admires him from afar... Aww...how cute.) Yeah, she and her mom talked about it... Then they talked about some kind of surgery and then braces... (This girl has...low self-esteem???) Well, my mom got a phone call from the guy who works at Candy Land, so she left and I went to go play DDR at the arcade. I sucked so much at first because I was wearing slightly-baggy pants that day and I was afraid they would slip off or something. ^^;; I played with two of the guys whose parents worked there. (Or was it FRIENDS of the people who owned the arcade...???) It started POURING BY THEN AND TWO TIMES DID THE LIGHTNING MAKE ALL THE LIGHTS GO OFF!!! I went back and looked around and then we went to go shopping in the market area... But I got bored, so I bought a raspberry boba tea from "Fuji Tea & Coffee" and they gave me leftover change, but when I put money in the little jar that said "Tips", all the customers turned towards me and said "Thank you." o_O;; (It was only 50 cents, but okay... ^^;;) So I sat down by the hair salon and talked to Chi on the phone. That was fun. I wasn't allowed to go back home until it stopped raining though... o_O;; So I walked to different areas. I went by an Internet cafe and looked around. (Didn't go online. I'd never been at an Internet cafe before! I thought you had to pay or something! o_O;;) I asked about computer batteries, but that was it. I stopped by Cali Fashion after that and look around. There were some girls by the front acting like TOTAL fangirls over Korean actors/singers... ^^;; I look around some fabric scrolls and found a Final Fantasy (Tidus, Cloud, Rinoa, and Yuna on it) and decided to buy it for Diana! After that, I went back into the market area, and circled around and found my mom in one of the check-out places. I grabbed some pocky, and my mom was talking to the clerk person. My mom startled him because she thought SHE WAS JAPANESE and she started speaking Vietnamese to him! *laughs* Umm...yeah. Also, she asked the Hispanic worker there to wrap up the plates and bowls and tea cups so they wouldn't break... (And another "remark" about them... -_-;;) And then we wrapped up the noodles boxes with plastic and went off... Uhh...it was raining, so we had to hurry it. It was also humid... Uhh...we bought no food for them. Aw. We came home, ate some chips and that was it. Oh! And at night, when I got on, Diana used the computer and I just drew anime... XP Sunday Okay okay. We got ready for church and went. After that, my mom was thinking of going grocery shopping, but we didn't want to go, but she stopped by the Walgreen's in our neighborhood anyway... My sister and I walked home, and we took a shortcut through the "bayou" by our house. (It's WAY MORE DIRTIER than the one by Alex's/Nickkie's/Melinda's house... -_-;;) After that, Chi called me over for a party at her cousin's house. I wanted to come, but it started to rain. It stopped raining, so I left around...3 PM. My mom drove me and I got there! Uhh...Chi let me in. I got to meet Chi's cousin, Nguyen! I also got to meet Jamie A.K.A. Smit! I got to meet all her relatives and it was fun. (It was like my parents' little dinner parties. And showing around the house. XP) But when I first came into the kitchen, it just got QUIET. I mean, REALLY QUIET. o_O;; I just walked around and the adults were staring at me. (Like, it was a talkative kitchen, and I just walk in... Then again, I don't think anyone knew who I was... ^^;;) Nguyen's room is covered with teddy bears. Well, his walls are LINED with teddy bears. He says the bears talk to him at night... o_O;; And "that bear is straight, that bear is a homosexual, and that bear is a bixesual"... (He actually pointed to each other and said that! XP) Well, we watched movies. Like, "The Amityville Horror" and a Catholic movie its name I have forgotten... @_@ Almost everyone left, but Chi and her siblings wanted to stay, and we started to watch "The Fog", but went downstairs to eat. After that, we went home. (Chi's aunt was nice enough to drive me home! ^^) Nguyen was gonna drive me home, but Chi scared me with her stories of him being a dangerous driver... o_O;; Chi AIMed me the next day and told me that they thought I was her boyfriend. (The adults. What the...?! o_O;;) Monday Okay, my mom went to the clinic that day, so I had to stay home. But Alex AIMed me to go biking with her for fireworks!!! I was so confused but decided to go. AFTER I made a list of what to get (I needed to pick up cake ingredients for the Fourth of July party we were planning. That's why we were getting fireworks too.) So we met at the school around 4:30 PM. We biked (which hurt so much) ALL THE WAY TO HIGHWAY 6! (OH MY GOSH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!) We chained our bikes to a rail by McDonald's and went shopping in Walgreen's. The man who worked there gave us these suspicious looks when we were coming in to the store, kinda like the look of someone thinking you're gonna shoplift. (He kept watching us...) I asked him if he had cocoa powder. (He had a Middle Eastern accent, so yeah...) Me: Excuse me, do you sell food? Clerk: What? Me: Uhh...do you sell cake ingredients. Clerk: What? Me: Do you sell cocoa powder? (long silence) Clerk: Go check cosmetics, over there. *points at Aisle 2* He thought cocoa powder was a cosmetic. o_O;; Well, we couldn't find anything there. Just JUNK FOOD. So we bought water bottles and paid for them. (Hehe, we even compared the prices! I said I'm starting to act like my mom like that... XP) I asked for flags, but decided not to buy them... I called Chi because she lived by there. I told her that Alex and I biked all the way to Highway 6, and she said "You guys are crazy!" We saw Kathy immediately in the parking lot at that time and we told her the same story. She said "Well, I agree with Chi." She showed us the way to get to Chi's house, and we left. So yeah... We had to circle around a few times to find a way to cross the highway... (Chi lived across the highway.) We took that sidewalk by the highway and pressed the button for crossing the highway/sidewalk. (There's a little pedestrian crossing that goes through the highway--WEIRD, EH?!--and there's one of those things that says "Walk" and "Don't Walk", but with a hand "stop" symbol and a person walking symbol.) So yeah...we were waiting for the signal to change and Alex was laughing and giggling, thinking, "We're gonna die!" People on the highway, from their cars, were watching us like we were crazy. (I mean, kids crossing the highway on bikes? YEAH. XP) We did cross it and LIVE! (She's so negative!) But when we crossed, there was no sidewalk left, so we had to bike across grass... And after one wrong turn (silly me), we got to Chi's house! We came in, and Huan and Tien were like, "Chi, you weren't lying to us!" (I asked later, and she told her siblings that we biked across Highway 6, and they didn't believe her.) Her aunt was babysitting in the house... I used the computer a bit to talk to Diana and got off. We talked to Sue (Nida and Sobia were also at her house) and they YELLED AT US AND CALLED US IRRESPONSIBLE! (We even tried to lighten up the mood by joking about it, but she got really angry.) I think she would make a good mom later on... *nods* We looked at Chi's photos (in an album and on her dad's computer), which was fun for a while, but it was getting late (almost 6 PM?) and we biked towards the fireworks place. Alex bought a bunch of Black Cats and we biked to the Burger King on Beechnut. But we didn't know how to cross it, and she even said to get on the lanes with the cars! (WHAT THE...?!) I didn't know what we were doing, but yeah, I did what she told me, and we LIVED!!! (MUAHAHAHA!!!) We had to circle around Nickkie's area to get back home, and we stopped by the area around Alex's house... You see, she told her mom that she went over to Nickkie's house. So we were worried. We stopped by Nickkie's house to check that she wasn't there, and we parted. I biked home and stopped and saw Gene and Victor going in, and I told them I just came back from the Highway to buy fireworks. Victor asked "You went to buy fireworks...on a bike???" Gene replied, "But it's faster than walking. And you get more exercise." ^^ So yeah... I got home, and my mom still wasn't home from the clinic... Hmm. She got home around 8-9 PM, I think, but she was at Suc Pah's house. I asked her if she could go to the store to get cocoa powder (I couldn't get the ingredients I needed), but she just borrowed some stuff from Suc Pah. Oh yeah! I think Monday was the day Trangie went back home to P.A. You see, she was staying in Houston with her uncle (along with her brother and cousins, Helen and Marcus). Her parents are probably already home from Vietnam, so yeah. Tuesday/Yesterday/July 4th Argh, my mom woke me up around 6 AM to tell me to make the cake for the party! (OY! I was supposed to wake up at 5!) So I spent all that morning slaving over the oven... Making caramel. (I didn't have the right sugar, and I wanted to experiment if I could use granulated sugar...) That didn't work out... Uhh...my mom and sister went shopping for those Fourth of July sales around 11 AM and yeah... I messed up on my first batch, so I had to start on my second batch...chocolate. That worked out! My mom came home with the extra ingredients I needed (thank goodness!) and my sister bought roller skates! (And the party starts at 4 PM, not noon, thank goodness.) I made the icing, and my mom helped with that, the sprinkles, and the strawberries... Ahh... My sister wanted to come to the party with me, and we both changed. (I wore a red unbuttoned shirt with a white T-shirt inside and blue jeans! Red, white, and blue! Get it? XP) At the beginning, I thought I forgot where Sue lived... (And I was right. I was in the wrong place. XP) I called Sue to make sure... I put the cake in the kitchen, and Sue's mom was so surprised I made the cake... o_O! But she said it was pretty... ^^ Um, I came up to see the group in a group upstairs watching Melinda and Nickkie play "Kingdom Hearts II". Uhh...just lots of talking then... Kathy started to hug me, but she pulled me off the chair I was sitting on, and we both landed on the land in an "uncomfortable-looking" position, and Janice gave us a glaring look and called us "paedophiles". -_-;; ^^;; Uhhh...who was there. Melinda, Nickkie, Chi (reading manga), Diana, Nida, Janice, Kathy, Vy, Huy... Whitney and Sue already live there. Eh. Uhh...we went outside and blew up Black Cats! Yeah... (Alex came by later in a car! But she looked at my sister and said "Who's that?" She hasn't seen my sister in half a year! ^^;;) I went back in, then came back out later. Lots of explosions... XP (We moved around... Uhh...it started to rain!) Well, it was soft rain... We walked to the side of that road with a dead end. Kathy saw four guys with dirt bikes coming out of that dead end. She said "Is this a parallel dimension...?" We blew up more fireworks!!! (Black Cats. It still wasn't dark enough to do other stuff.) Diana and Alex started playing in the field of sunflowers by the area (Huy and Whitney and me too!) We stayed in the living room and watched "Kino's Journey" (SHE KILLED A RABBIT AND VY AND THE OTHERS LAUGHED!!!) and Destiney, Destiney's little sister, and Amy came over! (They always look so isolated at Sue's parties... o_O;;) Uhh...Sobia came too! (Before Destiney and Amy.) We ate chicken and had soda... A lot of food. Yeah. XP Kathy ran away from a headless cooked tilapia fish! *laughs* (She ran into the bathroom! XP) So Sue hid it with two plates. XP And then there was the "dumb red chair". It was a "secret" between Alex (who kept saying "I WANNA KNOW THE SECRET!"), me, and Diana. Whoever sat in the red chair (A.K.A. me, Diana, Sobia, and Sue) was retarded. Sobia: HEY! I'M NOT RETARDED! I went upstairs to get the cake (I put it in the upstairs fridge so the icing wouldn't melt) and we cut it. I was afraid to cut it. Alex wanted to take a picture of it. We ate it. People kept taking strawberries... XP But before we ate the cake, Melinda accused me of BUYING the cake, not making it! GASP! Nickkie replied, "Of course he made it. Look at the unevenness of the icing..." *laughs* Chi left at 4-5 PM. Aww... She gave Vy the lionfish she had as a souvenir she got Vy. ^^ (She wouldn't hug me!) Chi said her parents and Dai think I'm gay... WHAT THE...?! No I'm not! We sat in a circle and played little story telling games, but that didn't work a lot. Kathy was telling her story of a dream and then Janice and (someone) got into a little cat fight. XP Uhh...we went to that dead end again and blew up more fireworks! It was dark this time. Melinda commented, "Is it just me or is the sky brown??? Am I the only that's noticing this?" Diana screamed "OPEN UP OZONE LAYER!!!" Melinda replied "YEAH! KILL US UV RADIATION!!!" (I didn't know what they were doing, so I just joined in their jumping and screaming... ^^;;) The people on the sidewalk were staring at us like this: o_O;; (Oh yeah... It could've been dangerous. That dead end was right next to a gas pipe! o_O;;) We lit up Wands and we started all waving them in the air. Alex said "Is it just me or does it look like we're having a seance?" I added "Spirits, come to me!" XP We came back in later and sat in the living room, but Sue's relatives (from her dad's side) came to visit, so we went upstairs. We played DDR, but I gave up after a while. (Sue yelled at us--Diana and me--for being so good at DDR! Diana needed to borrow my belt. -_-;;) Uh, we went into Whitney's room... Oh! Sue's cousins. They asked her, "Is he your boyfriend?" (They were pointing at me.) He replied, "Yeah, he is. Isn't he hot?" (I think she was being sarcastic, but they didn't know, and they were making "EWW!" faces... ^^;;) Whitney, Mercy, Alex, Melinda, Diana, and I were in the room. Whitney turned on her rainbow light thingy and turned off the lights and we all screamed out in the dark. We all made shadow puppets and attacked each other. Diana kept yelling, "OH MY GOSH! IT'S FREDDY KREUGER!!!!" Alex yelled "YOU'RE FREDDY KREUGER!!!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! DON'T KILL ME!!!!!!!" And they kept poking each other. XP And then they started to attack each other's noses... o_O;; Diana and Alex became photophobic. (Fear of the light.) When they turned on the lights or opened the door, they kept screaming "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! IT BURNS!!!!! THE LIGHT!!!!!!!!!" and hid under the bed sheets... XP But I was a boy and they didn't trust me (adults) in there, so I went to go hang out with Sue! We listened to Chinese music, and drew pictures! We talked about our weird microwave times and what our parents would do when they planned parties... XP Huy was so cute playing with Sue's X and O magnets... ^^ (Janice wanted to kill Vy, but Huy said he liked his sister. Ruined the moment. ^^;;) I looked through Sue's eighth grade yearbook, and Kai looked SO WEIRD. (He was FAT that year and he got SOO THIN!!!) (Okay, Nickkie, Sue, Janice, Sobia, me, and Nida were there. Oh, Destiney, Destiney, and Amy were in the corner...) Ohh... Destiney, Amy, and Destiney's sister broke Sue's eggs... Poor Sue... They even laughed. o_O;; Alex, Diana, Melinda, Mercy, and Whitney. They stayed in that room. Who knows what they were doing... What Diana Says: They listened to Linkin Park music, and when they listened to Chinese music, and Whitney said she took it from her aunt, but her aunt let her keep it. Alex was, like, "Can I borrow it? I'm gonna steal it!" Alex was behind Diana, laying down in a crescent moon shape, and Diana said "Can you see Alex?" (She was covered in pillows.) Whitney pointed to Alex's feet and said "DUH, of course I can see her." Diana covered her feet with the blanket and Whitney screamed "That's my blanket! I want to use it!" ...This is all she remembers. Sue took Diana's drawing, and when Diana chased her into the room, Diana said "You b!tch!", Sue said "WHAT?!" and beat her in the back. Mercy stole back the picture and they ran back into the room. Well, the rain stopped and we went to go pop more fireworks!!! THE ADULTS actually got there first and blew up our fireworks!!! GASP! We went outside, but it started raining again! (GRRR! We're jinxed! Every time it stops raining and we go outside, it starts raining again!) It was so fun!!! Ahh...I kept trying to light this soda can!!! (Whitney and Melinda helped me fill it up with gunpowder.) I tried SO LONG to get it to blow up, but I couldn't, so I gave up... Lots of Roman candles, spinners, snakes, etc. (The snakes look like poop! Alex said "It's magic...") I ran around in the smoke and Alex took pictures. We wanted to try to make me look like a zombie. XP OH! The little kids that were Whitney's friends/neighbors came to watch the fireworks too! Uhh...some teenage boys walking around throwing fireworks. (One firework landed under a car's tire and blew up. XP But he tried to put it out with his shoe, so that's good. XP) They threw one at a tree and it burned... ^^;; Diana: Hey Alex look. That tree's burning. OH! Some guy threw a firework onto the street, it BOUNCED OFF OF SUE'S DAD'S CAR, AND HIT THE TRUCK ON THE OTHER DRIVEWAY ON THE LEFT OF US AND EXPLODED!!! Hehe, Sobia had to leave though. (She kept going home and coming back... @_@) We kept calling her the Grim Reaper... ^^;; (She was wearing an all-black cloak with hujab.) Sue: Bye Grim Reaper! Sobia: SHUT UP! *bursts out laughing* Ahh...so much fun... We went inside around 11 PM and dried up. BUT DIANA LOST THE PHONE! So Janice, Alex, and I went to go look for it! Outside AND INSIDE! (Sue and Sue's parents helped.) Diana was just SITTING THERE WATCHING US! I went paranoid!!! I went to look EVERYWHERE!!! I found it in Whitney's bed. Well, wedged between her bed and the wall. (It happened in Whitney's room, when it was dark. XP) ...And then we starting laughing about it. My mom came to pick us up around 11:45 PM and we went home... We had to wash the dishes (Diana went showering) and clean up everything... The cake baking stuff and stuff... We watched "Paranoia Agent"... I didn't get to sleep until 1 AM... Oh yeah... In the party, Melinda and the others said I looked like the "Asian Harry Potter". Why have I heard that so many times...? ^^;; Wednesday/Today I woke up at 10-something AM and got on the computer. I've been here since... Typing. Talking to people. Chi is mean to me now. Playing RBO with Diana. Around 3 PM, my mom made me go take cake mix to Suc Pah's house. I got Diana to come with me. We took a shortcut through the bayou, which was WET, and returned it. They gave us the cactuses we had to carry home in plastic bags, and we took the clean way home. (Clean = Sidewalks!) Uhh...I talked to the MyOtaku buddies and I've been posting for a LONG TIME NOW. Look at "Start Post" and "End Post". You'll see what I mean. (But at the beginning, I was lazy and talked to people.) Okay, my brother's getting testy. I'm going now. Bye! Oh, and Sue's meeting up with the others to blow up the rest of the fireworks tonight. End: 7:09 PM CST © 2004-2007 MiasmaMoon.
