i wonder if it's common practice for other blogs to randomly change their blog names once in a short while. because i did it first and then connie did it and we both do it now to a ridiculous degree. so i'll just go rename my blog now again.
squareroot der.summ archives: 11/01/2000 - 11/30/2000 12/01/2000 - 12/31/2000 01/01/2001 - 01/31/2001 02/01/2001 - 02/28/2001 03/01/2001 - 03/31/2001 04/01/2001 - 04/30/2001 05/01/2001 - 05/31/2001 06/01/2001 - 06/30/2001 07/01/2001 - 07/31/2001 08/01/2001 - 08/31/2001 09/01/2001 - 09/30/2001 10/01/2001 - 10/31/2001 11/01/2001 - 11/30/2001 12/01/2001 - 12/31/2001 01/01/2002 - 01/31/2002 02/01/2002 - 02/28/2002 03/01/2002 - 03/31/2002 04/01/2002 - 04/30/2002 05/01/2002 - 05/31/2002 06/01/2002 - 06/30/2002 07/01/2002 - 07/31/2002 08/01/2002 - 08/31/2002 09/01/2002 - 09/30/2002 10/01/2002 - 10/31/2002 11/01/2002 - 11/30/2002 12/01/2002 - 12/31/2002 01/01/2003 - 01/31/2003 02/01/2003 - 02/28/2003 03/01/2003 - 03/31/2003 04/01/2003 - 04/30/2003 05/01/2003 - 05/31/2003 06/01/2003 - 06/30/2003 07/01/2003 - 07/31/2003 08/01/2003 - 08/31/2003 09/01/2003 - 09/30/2003 10/01/2003 - 10/31/2003 11/01/2003 - 11/30/2003 12/01/2003 - 12/31/2003 03/01/2004 - 03/31/2004 05/01/2004 - 05/31/2004

oh well. somehow i don't really like this blog anymore. i'm wondering if i should just get rid of it, or maybe i'll change it around and make nice colors and a layout, or maybe i'll just kick everyone off and change the url and use it like a journal thing. um. maybe not the last one. i'm thinking i'll blog today and then we'll see again tomorrow. it's like uh, taking one day at a time. i seem to be feeling some little stress for no reason. i feel tired lately. anyway.
i had things i was going to do this week. like i was going to clean out all the i-don't-need-this crap in my room and then learn or copy some javascript and then make a quickie layout for the fellowship website. i think i'm going for a clean minimalist thing -- lots of white space, maybe some light blues here and there. that's if i ever get around to doing it. i came home today and fell asleep and didn't wake up until around seven, almost eight. my piano teacher was already downstairs almost eating. i was kind of annoyed at myself. i really don't like wasted time, but it always happens. i wish i could get things done. i wish. i want to. and i really really don't like one-word lines. whatever. i'm going to do something else.
so i wrote this really long blog yesterday that actually made sense, but for some reason, when i pressed the backspace button, it went to the page i was at before instead of deleting and the blog got completely erased. of course that always happens when i write something nice and long. hehe =)
let's see if i can remember what i wrote... um, i think i was saying how i needed to find better things to do online, or just find better things to do rather than go online. something like that. so i wrote this whole schpiel [i have no idea how to spell that] on that and then i started talking about how sweet november reminded me of that song "lately." i don't remember who sings it exactly, but i do know that janet, grace, and michelle sang it for the talent show last year. they were so good! and it's a pretty good song too. so anyway, "sweet november" looks like a good cry-movie. and keanu reeves is hot. =) hee hee. soooooo.....i think that's all i have to say. this blog is dying. how sad :( oh wells. alrighties, byebye all. Monday, January 29, 2001
well, no one blogs anymore. i kind of want to just erase this blog and go back to my journal -- maybe i'll do that next week if nothing improves. hmpf. i'm going to clean my room this week and learn some javascript so i can do things for the church website. i'm actually probably on the committee. except it might not work out too well, because i'm a control freak. anyway, i'm learning photoshop at the same time, except my computer's already been obsolete for a few years. i wish i had a macintosh for multimedia stuff.
Sunday, January 28, 2001
so hey, i want to see a movie. ugh, every time i want to do something it never works out. i have to get out more and do things. i saw commercials for "sweet november" and "head over heels" just now and they seem like movies i might want to see. the first one seems sad. anyway, i think i'm going to go make thumbnails for my pictures now with photoshop -- what i'm going to do is cut maybe thirty by thirty pixel images out of each one and use those as a thumbnail. hopefully it'll look cool when i have them up.

isn't "gait" something like how you walk? or something? and i thought i knew what a "lilt" was, but now i'm not so sure. i would go and look it up in the dictionary...however, i am just too lazy to bother. toooo lazy.
i went to see "save the last dance" today. it was gooood. i cried a lot. at least three times. *sigh* i'm such a sucker for corny, cliche, romantic movies. ah. oh well. and i saw the beginning and end of "moonstruck" on tv last night. it's such a cute movie! all of you, go see it. =) i wonder what i'm doing tomorrow...
and then i told him that "gait" was how somebody walks and he was like "woh, how'd you know". and then he said that i was his sat hero and then left after a while. okay, well. i updated my website and it has a people section now. but it's under construction. and it'll always be, probably. i'll just keep adding more and more people and updating their pages.. fun. so tell me if you want to. i just got dr. seuss books for this thing for english on monday -- we get to present anything we want by an american. like a book, a song, lyrics, movie, house, etc. so i picked "green eggs and ham" and "hop on pop".. it should be interesting monday. i have no idea what i'm going to say. and break core squad x. that was the funniest thing i heard all week. easy freeze. i don't know how they spell it though, and what parts of their b-boy crew name is hyphenated. hahahahha, i can't wait to see their video.. if they ever show me.
whoa, i've had quite a week...i think im gonna whine about it. i had some nice midterms starting thursday...especially english. We had some nice reading comprehension passages that could have been in a foreign language cuz no one could really understand it. So i was doing them i foolishly decided to try and decipher them. This left me with about an hour to write 3 fully developed essays. I think i finihsed the last one in 8 minutes....i really hope my teacher can read them. Then i took the SATs today. My psycho dad made us leave at 6:45 cuz it was in East Brunswick and since we didn't know how to get there, we needed to "leave room for mistakes," which turned out to be 1 hr's worth. So i was taking the SAT's and i came upon a sentence completion question. It had something to do with strutting and i narrowed down the choices to two words "gait" and "lilt." So i was like "lilt...thats like limp." And that's where i went wrong cuz it was, in actuality "gait," So i was like "aww man." I can tell how interesting this stuff is now...so i think im gonna stop now. later
whoops, i completely forgot to blog yesterday. oh well. i was at school taking a geometry midterm and i got back home at ten, and then i spent the rest of the day doing nothing really. what a waste. and i wanted to see a movie too -- "antitrust" isn't in theaters anymore. ungh. maybe i'll see a movie today, but i have tennis make-ups because my mom says that i'm going to miss sometime in february or something. i want to see a movie. hm, and i think i need a nice sweater. it seems as though all these parties are coming up, and i was looking at my closet one day and i couldn't find a nice pair of khakis that i liked. i think i want a navy blue sweater, but not the knit kind, like i don't know. not with the big stiches and the yarn stuff that gets caught everywhere. grr, i don't know how to describe the fabric. oh well, i'll find one sometime.

ooh, beanie babies! i love beanie babies....but beanie buddies are better. they're bigger and softer. hee hee, yeah :)
i think i failed chem. aaaargh. i felt like my brains were going to fry. and after the test, my shoulder muscles were soo sore. *sigh* oh well. it's all said and done and i can't do anything more about it, =P i think i should take advantage of all this free time and sleep some..maybe later. ok, i'm done here then. cya all laterz..
uh hum. so i took the hundred-question chem midterm today and afterwards i had this feeling that i didn't do too well. actually, i have that feeling about all of them, and especially history. darn history. and then i went to get a haircut and went with my mom to buy beanie babies [ um, yeah.. and she bought me one ] and then i went to the asian supermarket and thought i saw ellen's mom while waiting outside in the car half-sleeping and then. i came back home and slept a little. i think i'm almost not sick anymore. and i have stupid orchestra tonight, ugh. oh, and then i have a geometry midterm tomorrow.. well, then. anyone want to do something tomorrow after around ten or so?
Wednesday, January 24, 2001
i love pressure. i remember i read somewhere that two things happen because of pressure: one) things get crushed, and two) diamonds are formed. anyway, so i probably totally failed my history exam today unless he curves the test twenty or so points. i was so angry -- the whole midterm [ or final, because it's a half-year course ] was everything he didn't teach. well, i wasn't really angry. just kind of annoyed. spanish was pretty easy, unless i screwed it up and don't know it. everything'll be all right. oh well, i think i'll go over some chem later and rememberize my solubility rules and radiation stuff and all i think i need to know. it should come pretty easily to me.

hahaha..yeah ellie ;)
anyways, i went out to eat tonight. we had seabass. it reminded me of austin powers. you know, when Dr. Evil wants the sharks with 'frickin' laser beams attached to their 'frickin' heads but all they have are seabass. ILL-TEMPERED seabass. hahahahaha...oh, that was a great movie :) well, that's all for today. bye bye everyone..
EW, you threw up!!!!!!!!!
anyway, that was just the mature part of me speaking. I'm back now. and I'm really bored. I'm at school during study hall and there's nothing to do. grr, school is soooo useless. I mean, yeah, I learn so much here. study hard guys!
ungh, i just woke up from a three-hour nap. i went to school today and took an english midterm and wrote my hand off with ten short essays, and then i came home and slept from about ten-thirty to two. and i still feel sick.. well. i had so better do well tomorrow in history -- it's my only class where i have a problem. i think i either have a b or a borderline a, and that's not good.. that's not good. um, so tomorrow's the only day where i have two midterms. is anyone doing anything anytime anywhere? and haha, on friday i'll probably be back home before you guys are out of bed.. well, then. i have to look over all this history stuff.
Monday, January 22, 2001
aw, poor derek :( throwing up is the worst. ugh...that's icky stuff. ick. brings back bad memories. baaaad memories :P
anyways..i went to the dentist's today to get my teeth cleaned. yeah. that was fun. i'm such a dork that i brought my english books with me to study. haha. my dental hygenist is kind of weird. plus, she practically digs holes in your teeth while cleaning them. it's pretty scary...having her poke around your mouth with a sharp metal object. ;) i should get back to studying soon. i thought i was going to go mad from math overload before... ungh. sooooo....i guess i'll go.. blargh. :P
um, so i'm sick sick sick. today i came home from school without staying after and took a nap before i had to go to kumon. my mom woke me up and i had a hard time getting out of bed, and then i went to the bathroom and threw up a little. uh, then she got her student's mom to send me to kumon because i was late and she had students already, and then when i get there mrs. lee tells me to go home. i'm not uh, i'm not supposed to get the kids sick too. anyway, so i sat in the office room for about an hour before my dad came, and when i told her i was leaving mrs. lee was like, "you're still here??" well, whatever. i just woke up and i'm going to start studying for english. yeah, so. i guess this is this is good-bye.
Sunday, January 21, 2001
so i'm back. hair toto is this hair place next to a hong kong supermarket...yeah. the name cracks me up..=) the lady that washed my hair did this whole massaging your head type of thing. it felt really really good. the only bad part was that they were out of hot water, so they washed my hair with cold water. that was not so fun. :P
I DON'T WANT TO STUDY ANYMORE!!!!! argh. i haven't even been studying that long and i'm already about to strangle something... :) *sigh* okay. i have to go study some more now. see y'all later..bye..
uh, hair toto. somehow it reminds me of a dog and kansas. where is that, anyway? mm, i was going to get a haircut too yesterday -- but i woke up feeling really really sickly feeling and so i didn't even go to chinese school. oh well. i took a few naps, did some geometry studying [ yes, i study sometimes but this time only because allison made me ] and then i was home while my mom and dad went to see "crouching tiger hidden dragon" and well. maybe i'll go see it sometime. i want to go see some movies. next week one day after school, i'm going to walk over to target and buy a bunch of tapes. and ugh, it should've snowed tonight. why does it always have to snow on the wrong days..
Saturday, January 20, 2001
i went to hair toto today and got my hair cut. i look like a fob! now all i need are fobby glasses. hehe :) it's really short and layered. and there's this one part that hangs down on my face. it looks really weird. different from what i expected, though..
agh, i gotta go eat now. byebye!
chinatown..holmdel...yeah, that sounds pretty acurate to me. =P the other day my chem teacher was talking about science league..which makes no sense becuase all 8 people in my class don't do it. but ANYWAYS, she seemed all flustered and was saying something along the lines "erm...it's going to be an interesting 'season' this year. ranney is always a power house, but with their new teacher...oh, and holmdel..they're always a powerhouse..." yeah, she said that its a "whole new ball game" this year. right.
anyways, derek was right. i am currently holing myself up in this house and studying. or at least i'm trying to get all my papers done so i CAN study for midterms. *sigh* i'm such a dork. alrights, i'm out. oh, "romance me" by chasing furies. gooood song. go dl that derek
hey yes. i heard holmdel whipped butt at the science league. my friends came back and were like, i got a 77! or, i got a 64, or, i got 38! and i was like woh. and i asked who won. and they were all like, a bunch of asians from holdmel. my indian friend told me the science meet was like a chinatown. yeah, it must have been all you holmdelians crowding it over. you and your dang chinese people. haha yes. i'm racist against my own people. me and like, all two of us chinese kids here at freehold township. hmm...i was just kidding. i'm not really racist, i just act racist when i'm surrounded by white kids, who in fact, are not as smart as chinese people. now i'm just conpletely contradicting myself, so i'll shutup about that=) guess what. i have three games next week. two of them away. and i have midterms. i love the way my school takes academics so much more seriously than sports. (that was total sarcasm) okay, i be studying now. and eating. bye.
Friday, January 19, 2001
well then. i guess everyone's going to be studying for midterms this weekend. i kind of wanted to go see a movie -- anyone want to go see one? like i don't know, maybe one of those movies that i want to see. titles slip my mind. anyway, i may be starting to have a little doubt feeling about midterms, as in "i doubt that i'll do well" or "i doubt that i'll get what i want to get" or yeah. i actually brought a book home to study: my history book, because my history teacher doesn't teach. maybe i'll look it over a little. and ugh, i have to go to school on friday. stupid geometry. all my friends are going to be having fun..
Thursday, January 18, 2001
wow, i must be getting lazy. i missed yet another day of blogging. anyway, not too much happened -- i messed up on a geometry test and a spanish test yesterday, but that's okay. school was kind of fun today, um. well, i don't know. english was kind of boring, geometry was kind of boring, history was kind of boring -- okay, nevermind. i wasted a lot of time today. i think i might actually start studying for midterms tomorrow, or sometime soon. that worrying stage hasn't come to me, not quite yet. so i'm wondering these two days about what elective i'm going to take [ if any ] or if i want to take two science courses next year. mm, fun. and then today we had a science league competition, and holmdel won in every single category except one [ earth science, which had only one team so it defaulted to them ] and well. it was kind of embarrassing. i heard the whole way walking down the hall before going outside and getting on our bus: "holmdel's gotta go." "we have to beat holmdel." "holmdel's going down." "______ holmdel." and then i went to orchestra, and okay. oh, and janet left her bag there with mr. baranowsky's camera which is supposed to be in my care because i signed it out and -- i hope she finds it. ugh.
Wednesday, January 17, 2001
ugh stephanie, i know just what you mean about the sciences thing. i don't think i will, and everyone that i talk to says i shouldn't. see, i already have spanish as my elective, so i would have to take another science during lunch, but then i wouldn't have a class to take the second lab from. hmm. but this senior told me that she heard of someone like me with two languages who took a lab during their spanish class and stayed after school once a week to make up what they missed. but i don't know if i feel like doing that. but i will feel left behind if i don't double up! arg... but then again, i heard that meena didn't double up junior or senior year, and she still got into college, even for medical programs. so i don't think it makes that much of a difference. and also, i want to take art again. i am such a nerd. not enough time in the day for all the classes i want. WHAT A NERD. yep that's me. ok, i am going to eat dinner now.
OH WAIT - any sophomore HHS people that are reading this, come on friday to the fashion show meeting, b/c we really need all kinds of help. and everyone who is sick - feel better - drink camomile tea with honey and lemon and eat chicken noodle soup - yum - now i'm hungry. okay. bye.
yo dave....what about those mutant healing powers? hehe. but i guess they're kind of hindered since you haven't had the opportunity to sleep for eighteen hours [or whatever it was]. i hate how everyone is sick. it's not fun being in a school for five hours with people coughing and sneezing all over the place. well, i'm actually one of those coughing and sneezing people, so i shouldn't say anything. ;)
i am avoiding studying right now. i have a big latin test tomorrow and i don't feel like studying. blah blah blah. i was feeling so overwhelmed this morning because they gave us the sheets to make elective selections for next year..and i realized that i have no idea what i'm doing. normally, i would say, screw it, i'll worry about it junior year. but now this is FOR junior year and i am forced to worry. i'm probably blowing this all out of proportion though...yeah, i probably am. *sigh* to double up on sciences or not to double up on sciences? eh, i probably will. everyone i know is, well almost everyone. i am such a conformist. :P alrighty, that's all for now. bye bye .. Tuesday, January 16, 2001
Yea i think i'm sick too. I had a little something b4 track today and it got worse after track. Track sucks....and its pretty brutal. My day as a whole was pretty sucky actually. I just....had a nagging feeling that something was wrong the entire day. It bothered me. And then there was the fact that i didn't actually finish any work for today, so i wasn't actually prepared for any class and felt bad when we were discussing stuff. Yea that kinda irked me too...heh, im carping. Maybe i should stop....yea, ok...that's it for me...have a nice day guys.
hey, I'm sick too. but I'm pretty darn mad b/c I was already sick once this winter. and I've *never* been sick twice in one winter, and it really bothers me. wow, I complain a lot on blogs, but I guess that's what this is for. I had my first two midterms today (I'm not in a paragraphs mood, so excuse me) and they were truly exciting. not really. they especially sucked since I was sick. and b/c history was my first one, and I haaaate history. [big sigh] I suppose it hasn't been a good day. :-) sorry!
wow, today was kind of weird. i'm still sick, and it makes me kind of not pay attention to anything -- so yes, it kind of seems like a daze. anyway, in the middle of history today some asian freshman kid comes in to borrow the tv on the cart or something, and while mr. sanecki [ my history teacher, ugh ] is getting it, all of a sudden he bows to the class. like a little bend at the waist head facing the floor for a second thing. so because it was in my general direction, people thinks he was bowing to me. "woh, did you just see that kid bow to derek tsai." "hey, why'd he bow to you." "that kid just bowed to derek tsai." um, right. so i kept saying i had no idea who the kid was and he wasn't even bowing to me, and everyone was like "yeah, whatever".. and so. i guess now they think i'm part of a chinese mafia or something. but i found out later that the kid was bowing to the person in front of me -- and the person in front of me didn't feel like saying anything when everyone was asking why the kid bowed to me. ugh. okay, i don't feel like blogging anymore, so. maybe i'll be back.
Monday, January 15, 2001
mmm...the backstreet boys. they're pretty cool. brian has the best voice and AJ has that bad boy appeal, hehe ;) nick has gotten pretty cute, but really weird and kevin and howie need haircuts. kevin also has caterpillar eyebrows! hahaha..
eew midterms. eeeeeeew. ugh. ick. blah. ack. argh. grrr......i do not care much for midterms.. ;) i got all my stuff for sweet sixteens this weekend!!! woohoo!! i got the gifts and the dresses! yay! i feel so accomplished =) anyways....i really have nothing else to say.....so......bye!
you know what I really like? the kind of soy sauce that has vinegar in it. I don't know what it's called b/c I'm ... just that way, but I just had some, and it was very yummy. mmmmmm. and, I have midterms tomorrow. but then again, after midterms, I don't think I'm going to be able to make myself pick up a pencil... ever... again.
Sunday, January 14, 2001
backstreet boys. i was reading an article about them in some magazine yesterday at the dentist's office and they seem like nice people. it said that they cared about their fans, and they said they cared about their fans, and their fans said that they cared about their fans, and. and they look different. so anyway, i can't believe i have to work tomorrow from three to seven-fifteen. that's four hours..! c'mon, it's martin luther king jr's birthday or whatever we're supposed to be observing -- i think it's his birthday, except we always make it the monday of the week or something. so i guess he has seven potential birthdays. or something like that. anyway, i'm going to do some work now.
hi. i love the backstreet boys. i really do. and if brian and kevin weren't already married, i'd marry them. yeah. argh. my mom said if i can get tickets and a ride to a concert, i could go! but, what are the chances of that, considering the nearest concert is like, 3 hours away. uh huh...right. anyway, guess what! i love the backstreet boys. has anyone noticed how weird nick has become? i mean, in the new cd, his hair is all spiked and he's wearing like this spikey dog collar thing and he looks horrible! argh. and howie definitely needs a haircut, and so does kevin. kevin used to look so good when he had short hair! but thank goodness brian is still normal! he's my favorite after all=) and aj...well, he's just weird. but he's always been weird. i'm really annoyed that howie and kevin don't get a lot of solos in the songs, i mean, brian, nick, and aj sing practically everything! oh well, i guess i can deal with that. yeah. hey everyone! get another boyfriend! cuz he's just another player playing in the name of love. but not my brian. or my kevin. *suspiro* (that's spanish for sigh) i wanna meet the bsb. because i love them. okay bye!
weird. i see and hear the word "elysium" more and more these days. i think first i heard it in gladiator when maximus goes "for you are in elysium" in the beginning [ and no, i never finished it, ugh ] and then i read it somewhere a few days ago and then just now i just saw it as the title of a blog. i guess people like the thought of a paradisey place. anyway, so now i want to go to the movies and see a movie. i think the one i want to see is "antitrust" -- oh, and i want to see all those other movies still, too. let me borrow tapes, everyone. anyway, i'm in a movies mood so. ugh, i can't believe i have to work tomorrow.
Saturday, January 13, 2001
whoa. i remember when i used to go to chinese school. i learned ... how to do the fan dance!
A go fan dance. and shopping.
um, wow. steph was telling me in an e-mail [ wow, e-mail ] about stuff that people were saying about me in school when i missed a day, and -- that's a lot of talking about me. and you guys were talking about my dance story? eew, ugh. i hope jon coyle didn't get my seat dirty or anything -- hehe, maybe it's stretched out. yeah, even though it's made out of like steel and plastic. well, i went to the mall today and was at gap for quite a while.. did you know that they had a whole mall-wide clearance sale today?? uh, i didn't. i was really surprised, because everything was like super-super-cheap.. but i've seen better sales. so i got some things. a bunch of five-dollar things, and some black and grey dress pants that i needed. yeah, but it came out to a total of like sixty dollars.. i was surprised. but hey, eight items. i think.
and what else, at chinese school today i was trying to get my books because i had to make things up from friday and homework and stuff, and i was walking towards the door to the four-hundreds and the janitor passed me by and was like "you can't go there" or "don't go there" [ kind of in a mocking faux-ghetto way ] and i told him i needed to get my stuff and he said "how old are you, you should've brought your books home on friday" and then i decided i wasn't going to let this janitor get away with his attitude so i turned around and started following him. and then he said that he didn't have the key, so. how am i supposed to make all those things up. ugh, homework and studying and et cetera. and i have tests and midterms coming up, i have to start studying -- right. maybe i'll look through my geometry book tomorrow. i have a dentist's appointment today.. Friday, January 12, 2001
i told the witch docter i was in love with you, boom boom boom, ooh eeh ooh ah ah, ching chang walla walla bing bang... =)
that is the coolest song. well, maybe not. anywho, i first heard it in Homeward Bound. that movie is so cute! the animals all talk and stuff. so cute! hehe :) aaw, thanks ellie! i will dance with you! ha ha =) dancing is fun, but only when other people can't see you doing it. then you can go crazy and no one will laugh at you ;) hi caitlin! [i didn't say hi to you before, so i'm saying it now.] anyways..you are an excellent colored-pencil-passer-outer, i must say. i am very impressed. hehe. and there is nothing wrong with being and observer. i'm an observer, and i think it's fine and dandy. fine and dandy. ;) a'ights, ahm outta heah. [hehe, like my ghetto speak?] anyways..........i'll be back sooner or later. k, buh-bye :)
gargle gurgle. i didn't go to school today.
i woke up this morning around six and was feeling really headachey and my throat was really really really sore, but i was still kind of leaning towards the "i probably should go to school" side. so i hit the snooze button on my alarm clock, and then went to sleep, and then i never heard it again. [i have this faint memory of dreaming about something really weird with all these people in it, but i don't remember it anymore.] anyway, then my mom wakes me up around six-fourtyfive, i know i spelled "forty" wrong, and tells me that i have to go to school, so i asked her to help me pack my lunch and i went to shower. and then i come out, and i find out that she's still sleeping -- so i hurry hurry to go pack my lunch, and cut a slice of fried turkey and put it on bread, and then i find out that the tardy notes i told my mom to write are written completely wrong and with horrible spelling and grammar. "derek was being tardy morning yesterday" -- well, not quite as bad as that. i hope that the school office won't notice that i have four unexcused absences so far. i really have to get those notes written. anyway, my throat was still sore, and i went to tell my mom that her notes were a totally botched job, and then she was annoyed and told me "fine, stay home, i don't care." so i did. and she called the doctor and the doctor said [ching chang walla walla bing bang] that i should rest a while if it's serious and if i'm still feeling horrible in a few days that she should take me to see him. or her, i don't remember who my doctor is. i woke up around noon, and then my mom told me to clean the house and vacuum. and now i'm blogging about it. feeling sick is really really annoying. i think from now on, i'm going to put spaces between my brackets.

look, i just read this [and formatted it to my writing manner]:
one sunday morning during service, a two thousand member congregation was surprised to see two men enter, both covered from head to toe in black and carrying sub-machine guns. one of the men proclaimed, "anyone willing to take a bullet for christ remain where you are." immediately, the choir fled, the deacons fled, and most of the congregation fled. out of the two thousand there only remained around twenty. the man who had spoken took off his hood, looked at the preacher and said "okay pastor, i got rid of all the hypocrites. now you may begin your service. have a nice day!" and the two men turned and walked out.
so i still wish i could dance. and no, i didn't get a chance to study last night -- i was underlining from ten-thirty to eleven, and then i went back and found these practice problems that i missed, but i remembered that i didn't bring my chem stuff home, so. i was late to school today too. mrs. cichalski was looking at me weird when i came in and so i said "um, i signed in" and then she said "did they give you a pass?" and then i said "um, do you want me to get one?" and then she was just like "oh, mm." something like that. i finished my practice problems in period four computer programming, and then i studied a little bit right before the bell rang, and then i went to gym to do tae-bo and then the chem test -- i wasn't really paying attention, i think i messed up on more than a few, and i didn't even get to check. well, the first one -- and that was wrong, and i had to change it. so i'm thinking i did worse than i did on my other tests. i think i was somewhere else during lunch today, because i don't remember anything that happened. and how come the geometry midterm has to be on friday. all my friends are going to be doing something..
anyway, visit my website and sign the guestbook -- even though there's nothing to see, yet.
you know, I haven't been here in a long time. of course, now I'm getting back into the "school's incredibly boring so I'm going to go online every single day" thing, so maybe I'll be on more now. oh, I took that emode test during physics class today ... I got "intellect." my friends said I was 25% rebel ;-) you know me, the baaaad girl ...
stephanie, will you dance with me?????? ;-) I looooove dancing ... it is like the most fun thing to do, but I haven't been to a good dance since the summer, which feels like a long time. yes, that was off topic. and I don't know why I'm elongating all my vowels right now. elongating? ellie, shut up.

wow...thanks for saying hi to me. hmm..so after studying for two hours for chemistry i can barely come out with a logical sentence with correct word order and all (in english i mean) so this entire post may be nonsense. derek, do you really not study? i feel so stupid when i call you and i say, wait but this problem doesn't make sense, and you say, you copied it wrong. and angela didn't even know that the test was on chapter 9 also. she'll still get a cien percento. all i can do in chemistry is pass out colored pencils. yay for me. derek, that story is such a typical you story (in a cute way). you remember what she was wearing....i bet she doesn't even remember what she wore. oh and i hate that emode test! (changing subjects completely here) every time i take it, i try to change my answers and i still get observer. i think i'm more like hyper-active/random than observant. unfortunately, that's not a category. ok, i am going to read some depressing poe story now. good night.
woh..i think that today was the first time i actually had to switch that lil drop menu thing down to "show last 10 posts". so...i guess that means that i haven't been blogging much, eh? its been a busy few weeks..too much work that i [hardly] work hard on...too much thinking..too much time spent being dorkish and working on my website..which by the way, is really bad and i will never give out the url. hah...
anyways, HI CAITLIN!! i don't think you know me...but..thats ok. its all good. =) and, that was a cute story! =P derek should tell more cute stories. haha...oddly enough, it reminds me of that movie Save the last dance. not that i saw it or anything because it hasn't come out [even though i really really do when it does! hehe..], but it reminds me of the general plot that i picked up from watching the commercials..? heh. but hey..technically, no one has ever asked me to dance either. so far, its only been that like look that kind of says, "oh, you're around me..so i'll dance with you" ah, so sentimental, eh? heh..steph, would you like to dance??? haha...i couldn't resist. ok, this blog was pretty pointless. alrights, i'm out. =) hey, i took the emode test...my type is "artiste" apparently ..again.
aaw...that was such a cute story.. =) hahaha...but you know what i just realized that is extremely depressing? no one's ever asked me to dance. ever. i think i'm going to cry...:*( well, i guess it's not such a bad thing. i've never asked anyone to dance either. i need to get more courage. it's okay though. i really can't dance, anyhow. only when it's really dark and everyone is squished together. that's when it's okay to dance like i do ;) hehehe..
wow, it's so weird that two people blogged all of a sudden that never blog. okay, so maybe it's not that weird. yeah..=P
hi, caitlin. um, you should blog more. but i should be happy that anyone's blogging at all -- and no, i didn't tell dave to blog. i think. i'm pretty sure he came and did it on his own, and then he was like "i blogged" and i was in shock. you guys should congratulate him. anyway, i was replying to my friend's e-mail just now and she lives in taiwan and she was talking about how she had a five-hour school dance on new years eve. and that reminded me of how i want to learn how to dance. like um, i don't know. see, i don't even know what dancing's like. except slow dances -- christine told me once that you're supposed to just sway with the music or something. [i'm going to ask her how i danced with her that time a long time ago at the graduation thing.] and then what else, i remember there was this valentines day dance last year at high tech that the freshman class was sponsoring, and so i had to go -- i was on student council, surprisingly. this year at holmdel, i'm more of an anonymous person. anyway, so i'm just sitting over in the front and collecting money and serving [myself] drinks and food and just doing all the stuff that a student council would do sitting at the front table, and i decide to go inside the multipurpose-cafeteria-whatever room and see what's happening. and i see groups of people looking stupid, and a few groups of people that look pretty cool dancing. and then suddenly this pretty blond girl in a pink shirt and jeans or something from another school [she was definitely not from high tech] comes up to me and asks me if i want to dance, and i told her that i didn't know how -- so no. and then i sit down on a chair by the side and talk to a few people about things i forget, and then the girl comes back a short while later and says that she'll show me how to dance and then she takes my arm and drags me to dance. and okay, that was probably the last time i ever danced with anyone. i missed a few sweet sixteens in the meantime, so. right, so anyway.. i want to learn how to dance. wow, and i just noticed that that was a pretty long and pointless story. well, then. i think the main idea of this blog was that: i want to learn how to dance. and well.

hi derek. hi everyone. it's caitlin in case you can't read the screen name. so i don't know what to say. i'm no longer in that hyper rambling mood. hmm. have a nice day.
Oh i just noticed how foolish the "dave dave" looked. see i actually thought that was what u were supposed to do...or something...anyway, i g2 do some work. Later.
hey guys, i am quite tired. I had a meet on saturday and uh....all the sprinters/hurdlers <-- (thats me) did...bad. So coach was quite irked. He yelled at us for a bit...actually said some pretty funny yet mean stuff. We didn't laugh tho, cuz he woulda killed us or something. Said something like: "Your times aren't *that* bad.....for girls." Heh. Yup, so we've been paying for it at practice. We had what i thought was our hardest workout ever yesterday....until today. He gave us an even more brutal one. Ayo. Ok, so im quite tired.
well, it looks like i'm stuck with you on this blog. mm.. hey, i'm a renaissance man. except you're not a hopeless romantic, so. eew, go getter. anyway, maybe i should go retake those tests and maybe i'll get something else. okay, today was kind of boring, and at the science research club meeting we didn't do anything -- just went online and looked at spiderwebs. not much else happened the rest of the day, except.. allison said i was mean. i'm not mean -- i'm sorry. see allison, if you see this, i'm really really sorry..! and i hope you were kidding. whenever i'm mean, i don't mean it.. i'm sorry. uh, i got a guestbook for my website. it comes out in a pop-up window, and hopefully it'll work. i think the server's down right now, though..
I'M still blogging...if that means anything at all.. =P
so anyway, i retook that "who's your type?" test and i my type isn't the goofball anymore. isn't that weird? hrm, maybe i was in a different mood then...oh well. my new type is the renaissance man. ooh. ;) and then i retook the "what type are you?" test and i wasn't the girl next door anymore...i was the "go getter." ick..i didn't like that, so i changed two answers and i was the girl next door again. those tests are so weird..;P okie dokie, i'm done. k, buhbye Monday, January 08, 2001
i think my blog is slowly um, nearing the end of its life. anyway, it seems like everything's winding down -- you should blog, everyone! and okay, what am i going to say. it seems like website fever's spreading around, and i have this urge to update and change my site so it looks the way i want it to. first i'm going to make a new guestbook, and then change the way my blog looks, and then have a pop-up thing for certain things, and then i'll have it all ready. and i can put in new links whenever i want. but some people said that my "random numbers" are pretty stupid. or something along the lines of that.. i don't know. i think the colors on my site are kind of -- hm. i don't know, i'll have to think about it.
agh..i just made this huge blog and then i must've pressed something, because it went away...i'm so sad :(
okay, i'll try to recreate it from memory...hrm. what was i talking about? oh yeah. i was talking about how i'm having a little bit of stress about buying dresses for sweet sixteens. nothing fits!! argh! i'm too small..in all ways. so whatever i wear, i end up looking like i'm buried in it. blah...it stinks being "petite." i mean, not even the smallest petite sizes are small enough. oh wellios..i'll find something..eventually. :P i just realized today that there is a three-day weekend coming up. yay! i am glad. very glad :) Saturday, January 06, 2001
i like jennifer paige's voice. michelle told me to download "beautiful" [and she said she wants to do it for the talent show with janet or something] and it's a really.. well, i think it's a nice song. and what else is on my mind -- hm. i think i'll update my website tomorrow and sometime soon, get a guestbook for it that actually lets me customize the things, and then add some content -- maybe i'll actually finish this one. i'll know when i have a picture page with thumbnails. yeah, dream on. the colors are kind of bothering me, though. the green i have now for the blog is kind of dark compared to the yellow and light green apple-ish color, but then i had a light orange in mind with which there aren't really any good text colors, because they don't show up, and so. i might have to do totally new colors -- man, i liked the original green-yellow thing.
hi. i wanted to go to the mall before, but then today we were about to go to the mall and then i thought, "why do i want to go to the mall, when i already missed all the after-christmas sales and everything's probably expensive and i probably won't buy anything?" so anyway, we didn't. norman and eric and i instead went to the second's house with this jackie chan movie that my mom brought back from texas ["who am i?"] and then we started to watch a bit of "gladiator" and we got to the colosseum [and yes i just looked that up, i didn't know how to spell it] part where maximus is fighting with his group against these guys in chariots -- and then eric mom comes back and he turns it off. i hope i get to finish the movie. i love the little cuts with the dark clouds moving in the sky -- i love clouds. anyway, so my mom and dad are over there watching "mission impossible two" and my mom really likes tom cruise for some reason and i guess i'm online. and blogging. blogger made enough money to get a new server, isn't that cool? i think i'll donate ten bucks and get a pack of blogger stickers -- all the cool kids have them.
oh wow, i think blogger got a new server. i think that's why it's kind of faster today, but not by too much. well, i missed two days. that really stinks, i was a little annoyed. and mm, i think i have to go now -- i'll be back. maybe i'll go to the mall today..! and even maybe my other blog is going to work now. please work.

woah. yeah..i think you're becoming a tad obsessive, derek. the ambition thing is good though. i need ambition. i have none, and that is not good. i have that what-am-i-going-to-do-with-my-life feeling....it's not fun. but, i really shouldn't worry about that kind of thing right now. i'm only a sophomore.. so i'm entitled to a few more years of not caring. yay! ;)
there was no fellowship tonight. so you know what i did? i did homework! is that exciting or what? hahaha, yes, i am a dork, i know. but now, my entire weekend is free..wheee! how exhilarating :) so all i need now is something to do with all that time....hrm...oh, i want to see the emperor's new groove. it looks really funny. and my friends said it was funny. i want to see it! maybe i'll go to the mall, too. i got gift certificates to loews [is that how you spell it?] theaters so maybe i'll see a movie AND go shopping...ooooh. that sounds good..maybe i'll do that. alright, i have a plan. cool. okay dokay. i am doooone. bye bye Wednesday, January 03, 2001
lalalala. i want to be john maeda. kind of, in a way. i read a few articles about him, and he talks about art and technology and how the gap between them has to be bridged. he said that graphics software is made by programmers who don't do art, and then it's used by artists who don't do programming, and what's created from this isn't as good as what could be made if the artist was the programmer. so hm, he wants to create a future generation of hybrid designer-engineers. kind of like artists who are really techie. i could do that. so anyway, i'm looking at his "design by numbers" thing where it's a computer language and you can write the program to create your own artwork. maybe i'll buy the book -- it was rated "best book in computer science" last year by some american publisher's group. how do all these people i see do so much, and they aren't even in middle age yet. like john maeda, he's the assistant director of the MIT media lab, this really prestigious scholarship program place where really talented people play with computers and technology and relate it to media, like they do art and technology at the same time. i think i want to go there and do some cool stuff. if you want to see what it's all about [and look at some of the cool stuff going on there] at that group where maeda's the directing professor, you should go aesthetics and computation group. anyway, about this guy being young. he's like thirtyfive, and he's already assistant director of one of the [or "the"] best programs of its kind in the world, and he won this daimlerchrysler design career award last year or something. the previous winner was frank gehry, that architect guy who designed that guggenheim museum somewhere in europe that was getting all that buzz a while ago, and look at him -- that guy's like in his eighties. i really want to be a designer. i think ambition is really pushing its way into my life -- i want to do everything lately. a whole list, but i'll probably blog that some other time. wow, blogger works.
you know what, i think i'm slowly turning into a crazed designer-person. for some odd reason, i've been looking at anything and everything design lately [for the past few days a lot, mostly] and i've subscribed to two magazines, one for twelve dollars for six issues and one for thirty dollars for eight issues, and now i want to subscribe to another one for thirty dollars for eight issues and a book called "a designer's guide to creativity". it's becoming obsessive. and you know what, i took this career test online from the college board site, and it said my first pick would be to become a metallurgical and ceramics engineer. um, right. like i want to work with ceramics. i had enough of that last year, blah blah blah ceramics are extremely heat-resistant are used in many high-quality products now that the process of making the ceramics and the technology has improved blah blah blah, i hated that stupid technology class. and then like third or fourth on the list was what, um. "funeral director" -- yeah, okay. i'm going to grow up and arrange little parades and services and cremation and burials for dead people, and watch people in black cry all the time? anyway, you can probably tell that i wasn't too happy with the site. i'm going to be a designer. [see, i told you i was like this..]

i think that derek is slowly turning into a girl. wow. it's pretty weird. first, he started having the urge to watch chick flicks. second, he finds the term "chick flick" offensive. third, he keeps bugging everyone about shopping and going to the mall. and, um, that's all i can think of right now. yeah... =)
blah blah blah. i'm tired of school. so tired. but, at least it gives me something to do during the day. hahaha...yeah, right ;P but, seriously, sometimes school has its perks. only occasionally. okay, not very often. but they are in there. :P mmm..i'm hungry. i need food. i've been eating a lot lately. it's really weird. i never get cravings for sweet stuff [i am not a sweets person] and then all of a sudden yesterday, i get a craving for haagen daaz pineapple coconut ice cream. that stuff is the best! so good. anyway, i got a craving for that. and we didn't have any in the house. i was very disappointed. so i ended up having nothing. but i still felt like i was going to explode, i was so full from dinner. yeah, so i've been eating a lot lately. right, so i'm done here. cya..
hey, you know what. my other blog won't post or publish. and so i'm here on this one, hoping that this one will. and if it does [or well, if it doesn't] i'll be really angry and go back and yell at my other blog to publish. like "why can't you be like my other blog?!" grr, grr. i'm pretty angry now. it had so better publish. anyway, someone take me to the mall. after-christmas sales are the best ones of the year, and i haven't shopped anywhere since november..! i sound like such a girl. did i mention that i did laundry a few days ago? and i kind of want to learn how to cook. when i grow up or when i'm in college in my own pad, i'm going to be cool. um, yeah. i want to go to the mall..
Monday, January 01, 2001
happy new year everyone! hrm..i don't feel any different. actually, i don't think i ever do. i've been feeling spiritless lately. is that a word? spiritless? hm. anyway...i wasn't in the christmas spirit and i'm not in the new year spirit. i was watching "taxi driver" while they were doing the new year's broadcast thing. that movie was pretty depressing. robert deniro is really good though. it's the movie with "you talkin' to me?" so cool! hahaha..i seem to be babbling. lalalalala...:P
you know, that whole section of "blog" made me a little dizzy when i was scrolling down. it was almost..hypnotic. do do do doo do do do doo [that's twilight zone music].. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! school tomorrow! ahhhh!!! this is NOT good. not good. hoo boy..i have got to get a grip. okay. i'm good..alrighty then. whew. okay. i'm done here then.....bye bye =)
hey everyone, wow. it's a new year, it's the year twothousand-one! why i typed that out instead of using numbers, i don't know. it must be turning into a bad habit. well, i made a new blog on my new site -- you should go see it. except i might change the colors. i missed the ball last night too, ugh. my computer's clock was five minutes slow, and i went to turn on the tv at around eleven-fiftyfive, and by that time it was just streamers and people cheering and the broadcaster guy saying "happy new year happy new year".. well. i haven't done much for a few days. went to the bookstore yesterday and bought a bunch of design and art and pop culture and lifestyle magazines, except now i think i probably should've just read them there. and i subscribed to two design magazines. i want to be a designer -- what do you want to be?
